Question: When dealing between imagination & intelligence, when do the two lines cross!?
I mean your imagination sparks your mind to come up with an intelligent theory of the things or life around you, so I'm asking how does thid effect you!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

the best way you can test your brain and make it very smart is to imagine and try to see things differnetly or make up a bunch of life like ideas!. If you can see something and imagine being like it having to or see it as differnetly and lifelike and meaningful as a meaningless thing can be you have the ability to be highly intelligent!. Thats what i beallive anyway!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No offense but I disagree in the sense that ones imagination does "not" always lead to intelligent thought!.
I theorized at age 10 I could fly from the barn roof!. Imagination drove that theory!. Application disproved it, More than once, LOL!.

It has been quoted that necessity is the mother of invention!. I would assume that might be born in the imagination (Mind), BUT, the theory leaks badly when it creates a paper boat!.

"Learning" is assumed to offer "knowledge" which is too often assumed to allow "Wisdom"!. The flip side of that is that Knowledge often happens after we need it, and still we may not apply it!.

I'm not certain that intelligence and theory can be in the same boat!. Certainly intelligent people can manage their way through a life without ever formulating a theory, as might someone not intelligent, craft many theories, impractical or not!.

I think,,, therefore I am, but I am an imaginative thinker, though me thinks me often thinks too much!.
