Originally Answered: What is an informed person? An informed person is someone that is well-educated and literate, but not necessarily intelligent. Intelligence refers to the measurement of cognitive proficiency - logical reasoning, deductive reasoning or even imaginative thinking, whilst literacy refers to the familiarity of a person to a specific field - concepts? theories? principles? which could be applied to everything that they could do afterwards. An intelligent person that is literate, is someone that could synthesize due to prior knowledge, which can result to profound and concise answers to different questions.
