hard to say for sure, but it seems that sensing, conceptualizing, and acting with purpose are the fundamental elements to intelligence. conceptualizing seems to be the less developed aspect of intelligence on earth

i think intelligence is a property of animals only, but i do understand that plants have some analogous traits, much like how computers have artificial forms of intelligence.

the music vs engineering question is problematic for a whole host of reasons...

Peepholes
A person that understands that they are always evolving, taking in information, and learning something new every second of every day. Then being open enough to incorporate that new information into their existing understanding of the world - be it engineering/music/working at the gas station down the street from my house - without letting pride, religion or a defensive ego get in the way of becoming a more evolved person.

Also people who dap&rep me, those are some of the most intelligent people you'll find on this planet.
