Okay, here goes-
The intelligence we acquire is not new. It has been passed on widely and has been purified, down to the bare essence, clean of impurities. That is, the intelligence (or ideas) we acquire now are completely different from its base when it was originally formed. It may have been improved, altered or modified in some way.
On the other hand, ideas we create on our own are subject to critique. There may be other ways, more dignified methods etc. It may be wrong, as nobody criticizes themselves. Let us take an example of the sport, cricket.
In the ODI format, it was originally stated that an innings would consist of 60 overs. However, over the years, the organizers realized that shortening the innings might attract more viewers. It was shortened to 50 overs and viewership increased.
It shows that time needs to take its course before your ideas can be classified as 'intelligence'.
David Robson has an interesting article at BBC on the relationship between high intelligence and happiness. "We tend to think of geniuses as being plagued by existential angst, frustration, and loneliness," writes Robson. Think of Virginia Woolf, Alan Turing, or Lisa Simpson – lone stars, isolated even as they burn their brightest." As Ernest Hemingway wrote: "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know." The first steps to studying the question were taken in 1926 when psychologist Lewis Terman decided to identify and study a group of gifted children. Terman selected 1,500 pupils with an IQ of 140 or more – 80 of whom had IQs above 170. Together, they became known as the "Termites", and the highs and lows of their lives are still being studied to this day. "As you might expect, many of the Termites did achieve wealth and fame – most notably Jess Oppenheimer, the writer of the classic 1950s sitcom I Love Lucy. Indeed, by the time his series aired on CBS, the Termites' average salary was twice that of the average white-collar job. But not all the group met Terman's expectations – there were many who pursued more "humble" professions such as police officers, seafarers, and typists.
