Here is an example of
the different kinds of intelligence. Suppose you are in the room with full of
friends. And suppose that you just got a great score of 160 of the IQ test in
this morning and now you feel very proud of yourself. Well, a friend comes and
says, "Hey, have you heard that Paul could talk his way out of a stolen car this morning?” You just think, “Guy,
how would a person is able to talk his way out of such situation?” Then you
remember that John was born and grown up in tough streets of the town and have
a savvy which only comes with this type of background.
Do you think it is fair
if you think that you are more intelligent than Paul? Well, you do but just in
some certain aspects. But what do you think if Paul says that he is
"street-smarter" than you? Probably it is true. So we can say that a
person may be smarter than another in a certain field but the other may be
smarter than you in another field. But who is more intelligent? This is the point
which makes the answer more complex. You, who got great 160 score in an IQ
test, and Paul, who get a controversial 100 score, who is more intelligent? You
may think that the answer would surely be you, based the score of the IQ test.
However is it fair when you say you have more general intelligence?
What about children who
have Down's syndrome? Many people may speak out loud "I am surely smarter
than all of them". That may be true as it comes to problems as well as
problem solving, but not all. For example, some with Down's syndrome are able
to sing any song they once heard. So, what I mean is, do not say you are more
intelligent than anyone.
