Types of Intelligence

Types of Intelligence
Its beginning to dawn upon me that Intelligence is multifaceted. I was brought up believing that maths/science was the only intelligence.
As kids, my education centric family thot that maths / science students were the only intelligent types.

Now as I see the world around me- it strikes me how intelligent politicians are. Politics is a type of intelligence. It strikes me how intelligent graphics designers are. Graphics design is a dense intelligence. One that i can never hope to master. Its just too much ‘out there’. I am sure they fee the same way about computer science- something that comes easily to me.
I am thunder struck by how intelligent musicians are. My flute teacher for example – he can weave this delicate charm of tunes, that the best quick sort implementation cannot even come close to.

I have also learnt a lot from my kiddo – Electron – a hi-energy charged particle. He has taught me much about the naural intelligence of kids bodies. for example – the way he gets up from bed after a nights sleep. Its a lovely mauver- where there is no jerk in the body at all. Kind of like rolling up from bed. Its fantastic to watch. I try and copy it in my daily routine.

Needless to say – contrary to what my parents believed- intelligence has many many dimensions. I am only dimly aware of a few of them. God help me to be more aware..

bye for now
