Just because someone has reached the highest peaks of education, doesn't mean that he/she is more intelligent than a south american native living deep in the amazon forest,
just more civilized ,not more intelligent.


Yes,I can see that too.

intelligence can fall into a number of categories for people. now tell me if i'm wrong but some people are good at math while others are good with science, art, music, ect. it depends on what side of ur brain u use most (which usually isnt up to us)
have you not heard of a musical genius who did bad in history class? as for me, i am pretty good art, but could never understand algebra for the life of me

You are not wrong ,Miss Annika ,these things you are describing are abilities , talents, which are part of the intelligence .Obviously it is not the other way around.

What is this about?

Um. Talents and abilites are a part of the intelligence. Intelligence. I think I agree with Quandary 121's view. The true definition of intelligence based on society's description.... have you tried a poll? I understand this is China's consensus about intelligence. :clock:

Um,I don't live society's life ,I live my life .Society has its descriptions ( it's all it can have ), I have my understanding .Society is happy and so am I.
