"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." -Aristotle(This includes denial as well as acceptance, as to flatly reject thoughts which are incongruous with our perceptions is a sign of intolerance, and is found in the intelligent as often as the dull.)

Being able to tolerate ambiguity means being able to tolerate the lack of absolute knowledge (and thus control) of a thought. It is both a sign of wisdom and humility to be able to wrestle with concepts outside of our absolute dominion of knowledge, without prejudice in acceptance or rejection. Unfortunately, it is not physical "intelligence" as IQ that determines this, but rather "reason" developed from both empathy and a passion to discover truth. This sort of wisdom is the educated mind that Aristotle refers to.
