Intelligence

One of the most well-known theories that argues that intelligence contains many more components than IQ testing can measure is Howard Gardner's theory. Gardner believes that intelligence is made up of 8 components: logical, linguistic, spatial, musical, body-kinetic, natural, personal, and interpersonal.

Signs of intelligence:

1. You have a sense of humor and you are sarcastic

Intelligence is a prerequisite for the ability of good humor as well as sarcasm.

2. You talk to yourself

And you appreciate and love spending time with yourself.

Your problem is above all: so many things and projects and so little time.

4. You are a good listener

You know that the world does not just revolve around you and you know how to listen to your interlocutor.

5. You are proud of your difference and uniqueness

You don’t want to blend in with the gray of the crowd, you’re on your own and you enjoy it.

6. You are capable of empathy and compassion

By no means do you have to pass by if someone needs help, be it a human, an animal or a plant.

7. You do not tolerate noise

Yes, that too is supposed to be a sign of intelligence. You can't stand noise - crowds, traffic, television, neighbors, excessive chewing ...

7. You care about the environment and the Earth

Try to inflict as little damage as possible and you care about this planet.

8. You know how to rest, relax and meditate

Because you know you have to “turn off” your brain as well.

9. Ask when needed

It’s not hard for you to ask for help when you need it.

10. You are able to deal with problems

But with every problem, you don’t immediately call the entire phone book to tell everyone what happened at work.

11. You have people around you with whom you get along

Because you know that hanging out with people who are pulling you down is a waste of time.

12. You are capable of self-criticism and accepting criticism from others

Do not jump into the air with well-meaning criticism, but listen to it and want to learn.

13. You are determined and you know what you want to achieve

You stand firmly behind your values, you have goals and you follow them regardless of the opinions of those around you.

14. You realize you don’t know much yet

Above all, the sign of intelligence is that you are aware that you have not eaten all the knowledge of this world.

Well, that's enough ... when green avoids me.

Opinions still differ strongly on the definition of intelligence.

The best known definition says that intelligence is the ability to solve new problems and the ability to solve new situations, but some authors say that intelligence is also the ability to think abstractly, understand the causes and consequences of a problem, the ability to distinguish the essential from the insignificant and learn and adapt to a goal. . Many theorists add creativity and personality to this definition of intelligence.
