Do you value intelligence in those you own? Do you like the ability to be able to debate things such as politics, or heathcare or football with your slave? Or would you rather have them be ignorant of issues and events of the world?

Intelligence is always a virtue. However, knowledge of "current issues and world events" isn't necessarily a good measure of intelligence in general, or the type of intelligence that is sought. I imagine some Keepers may desire distance from these things in their servants for any number of understandable reasons, such as disassociation from outside influence.

We typically like to model intelligence in the form of ability to debate, but I find one's aptness to sit at the feet of another, look up, listen and zealously absorb equally as valid.

Anyone who meets that criteria would seem to be far removed from most people's definition of intelligent - a brainless bimbo who hasn't the capacity to think or challenge and has no point of view. If that's what you want you may as well go and buy a blow up doll.

Intelegence is a WONDERFUL thing and one I respect very very much!

However, when this question is usually asked they aren't asking if I value thier intelegence, they are asking if I am going to tolerate thier snobishness toward other people.

I don't care for negative people, I don't care for negative attitudes and as a general rule try to keep free of thier influence however from time to time I run into a girl who is pretty and worldly and smart and *Gasp**E-Gad* A Bitch too! After a few conversations where all I hear is them putting people down for the immproper use of the word "Diligent" I usually inform them that I must not be the class of person they wish to be conversing with and excuse myself and kill all contact.

I have been accused of not being able to handle an Intelegent Woman when in reality I just don't have the patience or the time to deal with a bitch.

My wife/slave is smart, perhaps not college graduate smart but then again neither am I, I like the english language but don't always use it with an english majors zeal and for this I also fail to use Grammar correctly or Puncuation for that matter. Do I want to be corrected? No not usually, but if I ask to have my girl proof read something then I want her too, however if I didn't ask for it I don't want it.

Does this mean I don't value Intelegence? I don't think so I think I don't care for intelectual superiority and the ego that comes from it, but dealing with people smarter than me is usually fun I learn all sorts of things from them, it's when thier ego springs us and I get the feeling they they think they are better than me because they are smarter than me this is where I have a problem.

While I value intelligence, my standards are so unusually high that I typically forego concern.

If I were vanilla, I'd want a partner who was as bright as me, or it'd drive me nuts.  M/s, though?  My pet doesn't need to be on par with me.  She's a pet, afterall; loyal, loving, and obidient are plenty.

I do perfer pets who are at least gifted, though.

Forgive me for pointing this out, but it is prefer, nor perfer, as well as obedient, not obidient. 
Perhaps pet is the right thing for you, my labrador retriever is not the best speller.  As a submissive with an IQ in the higher range, careful before you speak on matters of intellect with misspellings.

The problem with being an intelligent sub is that it makes it all the harder to find a Dom who is smarter :o)
