"Intellistance" - a made-up term that means to secretly collect or gather as much information or "intel" possible without having any preconception influence you and/or without making any immediate decision or an initial judgement or conclusion. This is similar to brainstorming, in which all ideas are presented without making any immediate decision or having an initial judgement. The main difference between both terms is that intellistance can be accomplished secretly, during meetings, interviews, conversations, etc. where the individual(s) conducting the intellistance is(are) unknown. So, go forward and attend that appointment, meeting, or interview without any preconception(s) and without making an immediate conclusion(s). See or find out as much as you can about the possibilities or opportunities that may be presented. This may turn out to be beneficial to you in the end. #intellistance
