Answer:
Good question. I would think that one is intellegent by their understanding of the world and their capability of critical thinking. Humor is one way to measure somebody by intellegence. For example, if someone (like me) can crack very clever jokes, even on the spot sometimes, that is an intellegent person. Good grades are the sign of a smart person. If you can complete the assignments in class and at your house that are given by the teacher and receive high marks that is a strong and smart academic student. Another way to measure someone's intellegence is their knowledge on a certain subject such as history or science, or maybe all subjects. Musical intellect is a very good subject. Like a songwriter or one who can play many instruments. There is a wide variety of subjects to have good knowledge of. An abstruse vocabulary in which nobody can comprehend the incoherent rigmarole of which you are speaking is the sign of good intellegence. Thanks for the question.
