Intelligence can be defined by several key traits, including curiosity, resilience, and the ability to learn. These traits are crucial in understanding and assessing human intelligence. However, when we hear about these traits, there is an inherent bias in our system that leads us to believe we possess them. While it is true that we all possess these traits to some extent, the spectrum and depth of these traits are what truly differentiate human beings from one another.

To illustrate the power of these traits, we can look at the example of Leonardo da Vinci. Throughout his life, Leonardo da Vinci, the renowned artist and inventor, displayed immense curiosity. He continuously questioned the world around him and delved into various subjects. For instance, he dissected approximately 50 bodies and meticulously documented his observations in over 13,000 pages of notebook entries, covering a wide range of topics. His understanding of nature, mechanics, anatomy, physics, and architecture ultimately contributed to his masterpiece, the Mona Lisa.

While there is no possible measurement system to gauge these three traits, we have come up with the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) as a measurement system to assess certain quantifiable aspects such as memory and processing speed. However, it is important to note that this score does not encompass the full breadth of intelligence. The standardization and economy of scale practices prevalent in modern society have contributed to simplifying the concept of intelligence, diluting its essence. Reducing intelligence to a single number is indeed a ridiculous notion. Each individual is unique, and attempting to measure human capabilities in such a simplified manner overlooks the complexity of human intelligence.
