Philosophy of intelligence by Albert Einstein: Why saying 'I don't know' may be the strongest sign of high IQ, and psychology agrees

Albert Einstein believed intelligence was never about pretending to know everything. Instead, he argued that curiosity, imagination and the willingness to admit I don't know are what truly drive learning and discovery. His philosophy, supported by modern psychological research, suggests that people who keep questioning, stay open to new ideas and embrace uncertainty are often the ones who grow the most and solve problems in innovative ways.
