Intelligence

April 11, 2014

Being able to escape from a world that categorizes intelligence as one category

Having good grades, high test scores, does show you are smart enough to follow tasks

But intelligence, it’s not being a good test taker and following instructions

Intelligence isn’t even having a high vocabulary

It’s being able to formulate your own thoughts, your own way

Being a critical thinker and not just accepting what your teacher says is right

Finding out why it is right, who says it was right, understand why it is right

The brain has to have multiple aspects from the different thoughts, like a laboratory

Some of the brightest people are seen as dumb or crazy, when really they are some of the smartest people of all, having ideas that could actually help humanity

It would be nice if people actually did listen to what they had to say

That’s what I would change if I could
