/^t/Intelligence - the mental ability of human beings is primarily the result of the education that one receives. Moreover, it is the effect of gaining an experience by an individual in various interactions with the outside world. For example, a student of English Philology at the University gets knowledge about English lanquage, English and American literature, culture and history. What is more, he or she also learns how to respect and tolerate other students' different personalities by having to adjust himselt or herself to various personal relations. Additionaly, an intelligent student draws conclusions from the previous experience when he or she has to tackle a problem. So intelligence is a complex mental power which can be analysed in terms of three interconnected aspects: receiving new information, understanding it as well as applying this information in various contexts of the outside world.
