The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

Intelligence is tested here by the ability to keep conflicting ideas present without losing the capacity to act. The standard is not immediate resolution of the conflict. It is an ability to continue functioning while acknowledging that more than one opposed possibility remains in view.
