Five behaviors that make someone intelligent or five behaviors that intelligent people exhibit? This is for some highschool class, right? Which one?
 
One or two is easy, but five???

This is too much work. Intelligent people avoid unnecessary work.

Intelligence, simply put and contrary to popular belief, is the ability to make predictions.

I read a book on intelligence which was excellent. "On Intelligence" by Jeff Hawkins

Edit: a quote
"What is intelligence if it isn't defined by behavior?"
"The brain uses massive amounts of memory to create a model of the world. Everything you know and have learned is stored in this model. The brain uses this memory-based model to make continuous predictions of future events. It is the ability to make predictions about the future that is the crux of intelligence."
