When people think about something being intelligent, they think about it being calm, collected, sophisticated, and well.. boring. Being only apathetic really. And of course, you have those 'hybrid' minds who are fun, outgoing, crazy and sometimes stupid, but are actually quite smart.
But lets forget the normal cliches and just think about it for a second. The word 'intelligent' could be broken down into so many different categories. For instance, a person with autism may not be able to function correctly in what we call a normal world, but it's proven that 80% of them are genuises. Ironic to the normal thinker? Haha I believe so.
Lets say Jim over here is pretty forgetful, and isn't good with tests at school. But in his mind he's able to analyze everything into ratios and formulas and answer problems that to most of us would be unknown. While Lacy on the other hand has a photogenic memory and can remember things easily, but she lacks the capibility to actually understand how things work and can't analyze things if it could save her life.
And then of course, theres the artistic people that can't think or memorize at all, but could paint a brilliant masterpiece; or produce a symphony, ect.
Intelligence comes in many shapes in sizes. People shouldn't just be considered smart because they can remember things or because they are good at bookwork. Unless your iq is below 80, all of us have a form of higher intelligence in our brains, whatever that may be.
It all boils down to what part of the brain is active the most.
Some of us know what that is, some of us don't. Me, im an analyzer and an artist, even though my memory isn't worth a dime. Haha. What does that mean? Well I actually did some tests a few months ago that told me that instead of using one side of the brain more than the other, im in the middle. What a great place to be, in between things. hahaha.
The whole point of this blog is to put the thought in your head that everybody is smart, and you should find out what type of smart you are. Come on, your on myspace, that automatically tells me your bored out of your mind. So why not go for it?
Take a deep breath, and look into your own mind and see what kind of person you are. Look some stuff up, go to a college/psycologist/healer and take some tests.
Experiment.
I know what type of person I am, but do you?
