Asking Questions - is it a sign of intelligence?

Now, you may have heard teachers saying this quite frequently and often I agree but when you yourself start asking to many questions you ironically begin to question your own intellectual capabilities.

I tend to ask alot of questions in class and people kind of turn around as if it's strange but I'm just that kind of person - I need to know exactly what the answer is and why. I understand that this is rather difficult when it comes to explaining something quite complex such as particle Physics, but that's aside the point; generally I like to ask questions for my own benefit.

I really hate it when the teacher asks, "So, do you all understand?" and everybody nods but deep down I don't understand - this is when I put my hand up and probably aggravate other people in doing so.

Anyway, what are your views?

The only stupid question is the one that wasn't asked

If you don't understand something, chances are that heaps of other people don't either - it's well worth saying something! I bet if you ask questions a few times then other people will start to ask some too, they're just too scared to make the first move.

"Ask and be a fool for 5 minutes, don't ask and remain a fool forever"

It depends. You can ask a question which in turn reflects your misunderstanding (stupidity) of something or you can ask a really logical question that perhaps hasn't been answered which a lot of scientists do which reflects their intelligence.

It depends what kind of questions you ask. In general, asking questions is good and shows you're interested, which is the only reliable way to become good at anything, but there are some people who just ask inane questions constantly and never get to grips with the subject they're asking about because they're so far wide of the mark.

So you are saying, not being able to understand certain ideas as quickly as other pupils and having to ask a question for further clarification is in some way a sign of intelligence...
