What would you describe as ''intelligent''?

Question

Psychology states that it is difficult and almost impossible to say what intelligence is in itself. Would somebody , who read a lot of the classic literature be stated as intelligent? Because he can say fu** you in many classy ways? Or a math geek, who might be blind in making decent statements and have no sense in sarcasm, reading between the lines? Then is a girl or a guy said to be intelligent ? When he gets a bachelor's or master's degree?...

Answer 1

Reflections about what can be described as intelligent, on being intelligent.



More shallowly seen, intelligent is the one that can discern, that can see things and qualities from one another while also getting a perhaps clear idea of the context in which things appear and are performing. Also, intelligent can be one that can explain to somebody in a convincing way some material and or ethereal object of mutual interest.



Wanting to characterize the various levels and modes of intelligence, you may say that somebody is intelligent in one way while another is intelligent in another way and that somebody is or seems to be more intelligent than another; you may even encounter somebody that will declare that some people in the world are more intelligent and more clever than other people.



So also, the more you understand about one subject, the more intelligent you are in that subject, provided that your treasure of intelligence is acknowledged by other people, especially by others that are certified in your world for being cleverer people.



If people do declare about you that you are not intelligent, you may do all the argumentation and fights that you can and are allowed to do and that won't help you, you are labelled as not intelligent.



Of course you may be feeling intelligent for your own pleasure and pride. Even if you are not intelligent by the authorized standards of local or universal intelligence, your own feeling of being intelligent may evoke in your soul, in your eyes, in your face, in the whole of your own person and personality, the fresher more sun-kissed glow of intelligent and healthy life!



So ... good glowing thoughts about being intelligent and clever for now and increasingly for future and good luck to you!

Answer 3

Hi Anastasi...,



In defence of the many tradespeople who fix cars, and many other trades



don't be so quick to judge them, even though they have trade qualification.



There's something to be said about someone who pulls motors apart



quiet complex ones, then puts their knowledge into people's family safety



in those same vehicles, and puts them back so they run



often when they're under 18 years old.



Good Luck.



Best Wishes.

The Nine Types of Intelligence

By Howard Gardner



1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”)



Designates the human ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) as well as sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. It is also speculated that much of our consumer society exploits the naturalist intelligences, which can be mobilized in the discrimination among cars, sneakers, kinds of makeup, and the like.



2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”)



Musical intelligence is the capacity to discern pitch, rhythm, timbre, and tone. This intelligence enables us to recognize, create, reproduce, and reflect on music, as demonstrated by composers, conductors, musicians, vocalist, and sensitive listeners. Interestingly, there is often an affective connection between music and the emotions; and mathematical and musical intelligences may share common thinking processes. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are usually singing or drumming to themselves. They are usually quite aware of sounds others may miss.





3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart)



Logical-mathematical intelligence is the ability to calculate, quantify, consider propositions and hypotheses, and carry out complete mathematical operations. It enables us to perceive relationships and connections and to use abstract, symbolic thought; sequential reasoning skills; and inductive and deductive thinking patterns. Logical intelligence is usually well developed in mathematicians, scientists, and detectives. Young adults with lots of logical intelligence are interested in patterns, categories, and relationships. They are drawn to arithmetic problems, strategy games and experiments.



4. Existential Intelligence



Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence, such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here.



5. Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart”)



Interpersonal intelligence is the ability to understand and interact effectively with others. It involves effective verbal and nonverbal communication, the ability to note distinctions among others, sensitivity to the moods and temperaments of others, and the ability to entertain multiple perspectives. Teachers, social workers, actors, and politicians all exhibit interpersonal intelligence. Young adults with this kind of intelligence are leaders among their peers, are good at communicating, and seem to understand others’ feelings and motives.



6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”)



Bodily kinesthetic intelligence is the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills. This intelligence also involves a sense of timing and the perfection of skills through mind–body union. Athletes, dancers, surgeons, and craftspeople exhibit well-developed bodily kinesthetic intelligence.



7. Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart)



Linguistic intelligence is the ability to think in words and to use language to express and appreciate complex meanings. Linguistic intelligence allows us to understand the order and meaning of words and to apply meta-linguistic skills to reflect on our use of language. Linguistic intelligence is the most widely shared human competence and is evident in poets, novelists, journalists, and effective public speakers. Young adults with this kind of intelligence enjoy writing, reading, telling stories or doing crossword puzzles.



8. Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart”)



Intra-personal intelligence is the capacity to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and directioning one’s life. Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation of the self, but also of the human condition. It is evident in psychologist, spiritual leaders, and philosophers. These young adults may be shy. They are very aware of their own feelings and are self-motivated.



9. Spatial Intelligence (“Picture Smart”)



Spatial intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions. Core capacities include mental imagery, spatial reasoning, image manipulation, graphic and artistic skills, and an active imagination. Sailors, pilots, sculptors, painters, and architects all exhibit spatial intelligence. Young adults with this kind of intelligence may be fascinated with mazes or jigsaw puzzles, or spend free time drawing or daydreaming.
