Intelligence and Communication

I just want to start out by saying "yes, I know this is really late." Anyways, the past few classes on my schedule in general have really questioned my views on the relationship between communication and intelligence. We are all smart in our own way, but in the past two or three weeks, I realize that many intelligent people seem to overlook the whole communication thing in general. I know I've done it too many times, but I try to limit it. For instance, in Human Geography the other day we had our first test, but the professor told us the test would include non-specific questions that would not as for hard facts. Well, the test was everything but non-specific and included questions like what is the exact population density of this certain district that was in remote Bangladesh. Miscommunication I assume was the issue there between intelligent minds. I guess the issue is whether intelligence ignores the communication gap between them and the unintelligent. However, failure to communicate one's ideas doesn't necesarily make the one they are trying to convey their message to unintelligent. For example, I try and fail all th time to tell my overweight basset hound that every time she eats it doesn't help the matter, but that doesn't stop her from wanting to eat. Bad example, so going back to the Human Geo example, the professor argued that we should have studied better and more in depth, and should not have only taken his word. Dabateable but maybe his intelligence on the matter made him think that the question as well as others were no brainers taken from the text. The fact of the matter is that we as humans need to maybe use our intelligence when are trying to convey our message.
