Some people think that success is the best measure for intelligence, while others think that intelligence can be measured in other ways. What is your opinion?

Some people believe that
success
is equivalent to the level of

should be considered. In my view, the latter views should stand and I will elaborate

in the next paragraph. On one hand, it is widely believed that a

On the other hand

Firstly
, the definition of
success
is subjective, some prefer to climb the ladder in their jobs to be an accomplished person,
while
others might choose to focus more on giving back to communities.
For example
, a graduate student from a prestigious university with a high IQ decided to work in remote areas as a teacher with

income.
In other words
, it is difficult to answer whether or not someone is smart only through the level of their
success
, considering the definition of
success
in itself sounds blurry.
Secondly
, intellectual is not only about maths and numbers

.
This
means that it reflects how a person responds to problems, communicates with other people, and handles anger and frustrations.
As a result
,
someone’s
intellect can be measured by their character and personality. In conclusion,
success
could potentially measure
someone’s
brain because it usually reflects qualifications which include some elements of
intelligence
.
However
, I believe that
success
is a vague concept, and characters and personalities
