Thinking is driven not by answers but by questions. Agree?

Yes i do agree, The intelligent of a person can be depends on how he formulate good questions rather than to answer. So let me hear you opinions about this.

Hi Ayebelle, I think it is a mixture of both. As a thinker I am dominated by questions. If I come across something I don't understand I subject it to the Spanish Inquisition until Ihave taken it apart and gained the wisdom I was lacking. But the only way I can have that wisdom and increase my knowledge is through the answers. I could ask all the questions in the world, but if there was no one around to answer those questions for me, then I would just be left with the questions and no wisdom. So I think you need to have both to be intelligent; questions to identify where you wisdom is lacking, and how to increase it; answers to answer those questions and to increase your wisdom, and maybe even that of others. But that's just me! All the best, Dranz

I think that's true to a degree, because there are a lot of intelligent questions asked that simply don't have a right or wrong answer. But on the flip side, answers can be intelligent as well. An answer that raises further questions is just as intelligent as a question with many possible answers.
