Intelligence is such a difficult construct to measure ... and can be reflected in multiple ways ... not all of which we are all that proficient.
I suppose I tend to look more at reasoning skills ... those can be reflected in one's writing to an extent. Do they address the salient point, take the ideas further?
I believe I also look for at their openmindedness, tolerance ... general world view on things.
Oh .. and ... if they are humorous .. or get humor.
Come to think of it .. humor is a pretty big reflection of one's intelligence.
Geez ... now I'm feeling like I should maybe tell a joke .....
A guy walks into a bar ................
ouch he says.
