What is the most accepted definition of intelligence?

I break it down like this: you have book smarts & wisdom/logical (street) smarts. You can do great with academics, but lack wisdom to live life. Logic vs. Academics. A student can recite all the president's but not survive in the real world. Logic is a street smart. It helps you make smart life decisions.There's a man with a gun near you. You're at the top of your class with the highest GPA, BUT YOU TRY TO BEFRIEND him. Yes, you're illogical and not very smart in the logical department.. Intelligence varies. Donald Trump once said a degree can get you a great career, but it doesn't mean you have logical smarts to make great decisions. He was referring to business deals. But it is truth.To have both street and book smarts makes you a gifted person. Academic intelligence : includes having a great memory, retaining info at an accelerating rate and applying that knowledge. Street smarts: thinking outside the box, make excellent decisions and knowing your environment.
