You and your partner have solid intellectual intimacy is you can say YES to these 4 situations [sic];
1. Both your & your partner know what each of you are afraid of and you both make an effort to keep each other from those situations and stimuli.
2. Opinions, even those you don't agree on can be stated, argued and acknowledge without fear of ridicule, abandonment or abuse. Especially true for such heated issues as politics, religion, parenting and sexuality where you may strongly disagree.
3. Without realizing it, you and your partner often mirror each other's actions, gestures and speaking style.
4. You know what your partner's life goals, hopes & dreams are.

Seriously -- intellectual intimacy?
I had to look it up:

whose relationship is anchored to mutual respect and the common objective of arriving at the truth. Check out John Locke.
