Without getting into the weeds of trying to define intelligence: just go into more detail/deeper of what you already know. That’s all the education system really does anyway after a certain point.

Edit: whenever you come across something you don’t understand/know - learn more about it. It’s a journey not a destination.

Thanks. That's good advice. I have noticed a tendency to shy away from things more often lately--when I'm diving into one of our legacy systems at work, for example, if I come across something I don't understand, I immediately start to get frustrated, panicked, and look for a way to get this assignment off my back. Spending a bit more time not knowing, and more time diving in, might be the better approach here.
