To be truly intelligent, you've got to have common sense. And the ability to regurgitate something a teacher or professor told you in a classroom is not intelligence. Unless you can apply common sense to what you've learned you're nothing more than a well trained parrot.

Intelligence is the ability to retain information and apply that information as well as the ability to apply logic to decisions. Common sense, in its loosest definition means using logic or reason to judge the right course to take when problems arise. I would contend that if one is highly intelligent that person will also have a great deal of common sense. Some people are naive but those people are generally not very intelligent or they are seeking attention.

They are not mutually exclusive. To be one, you need to be the other
From my experience, "intelligent" people tend to overthink things, while "common sense" people can get down to bare bones and get things done much more quickly

Depends. Common sense will get you through most day to day things, but it won't help you design a building or launch a rocket to Mars.

Common sense: one of the biggest oxymorons ever.

you're question is "which is more important to use"
common sense probably more important in everyday life
and yes... u can have both
intelligence definition: the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (as tests)
common sense should guide intelligence
