In my imagination I picture a person who has some explanation for how the world operates and an idea about how the world should be, why it should be that way, and how to make it so. Maybe this is more function of how knowledgeable they are though, rather than intelligence.

i think in studies of the electorate, "ideological" mostly means "consistent" - i.e. can you predict their answers to some q's from their answers to others? if they're always correlated, it's ideological (that's the sense in which "more informed" voters are more ideological)
