How do you recognize intelligence in a person? I say it is impossible (through conversation). Some very brilliant people are not able to converse well

Ability to recognize logical relationships between concepts and expand on them. Making sensible connections.

I don't think its impossible, but I also don't think someones ability to converse is a definitive measure of their intelligence.

There are several sorts of intelligence, me think. Some can be seen in the conversation, some can't.

What you mean is, it isn't impossible to ascertain a general intelligence level from conversation, but that it is not the be-all and end-all of the matter.

The first sign of intelligence that I look for is whether or not one has posted in this thread.
If so, there is none.

"Ability to recognize logical relationships between concepts
and expand on them."
Yes. I tend to find that lots of people have an inability to even talk about concepts, full stop. They can only refer to specific events (to laugh or bitch about them, most probably), specific films or music, and can never sustain a conversation about anything abstract or more "general". Even when they do talk about, say, art, there is no real discussion, either, and if you attempt to engage in a discussioin they look at you as if you were a bit mental and change the subject or talk to someone else.
But they're probably far better at doing anything practical than me, and probably would be better at say, running a business or selling things or playing sport or talking about the sort of things most people want to talk about, so all the power to them. I think.

If the person has a trimmed *beard and or glasses you know you're in the presence of a remarkably intelligent person.
*Not applicable to women because we all know they are dumb.

All human brains have the same basic conglomerate of underlying replicating genes, so when you see idiots walking around obsessed with sex with an ability to mentally process stereoscopic vision to do amazing feats like mass killing jews and who are mostly all tricked by the same illusions, that's pretty much the core of intelligence you can expect in this limited range of human minds with exceptions like kim peak. Also intelligence and evil are proportional so just find evil people and they're the most intelligent.

Whether or not the person asks for biscuits are when they are looking for refrigerated dough.
