Crossword Genius

Minds centre around intelligence (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discernment

'intelligence' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'minds centre around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'minds'+'centre'='mindscentre'
'mindscentre' anagrammed gives 'DISCERNMENT'.

(Other definitions for discernment that I've seen before include "Judgement; acuteness" , "Good judgement" , "Understanding" , "Perceptiveness -- good taste" , "good judgement's needed here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
