An intelligent person is not closedminded. He does not behave like an ostrich buryung his head in the ground trying to avoid new ideas and developments.

An intelligent person is not gullible. He does not accept ideas blindly.

He studies and digests them thoroughly, then evaluates them against his reason; he tests these new ideas and developments throught experiments and his experience.

An intelligent person studies these ideas with a clear objective mind.
