Intelligence

Multiple intelligences. Average intelligence. Intelligence quotient. Emotional quotient. What is it?

Having a hard time grappling with the meanings. When I say someone is intelligent, it means that that person has the capacity to work things out quickly in the head to reach a conclusion or decision but then there is the time factor. If someone takes more time and then reaches the correct conclusion even then I would say the same. Phew! Hard!

Some say if you know English and Maths, you know everything.

Feeling dumb here!

Does not intelligence indicate 'a good end result'?

Back to back: Do intelligent ppl not make poor decisions? Disagree there!

Might mean understanding.

Intelligent people can and will make poor decisions.. but they have build up this 'intelligent' status over time for a certain reason.. and the decisions they made then were good...

Hmmm.. so what do you think is intelligence?

Decisions and conclusions.............Postman is confusing both

Iola is right. Intellegent ppl can make poor decisions.

Understanding........hmm.........Cant intellegent ppl understand any thing wrong?

kuch confusion hai........

and what were those 'certain reasons'?

Intelligence is a good end result :p

but some less intellegent people can also make good end result by hit n trial ;p

there are some ppl who are not as intellegent but they made good decision woh kehtay hein naa tukka lag jata hai har dafa

perhaps of 'certain reasons' I meant the situation at that time which made them take a particular course of action...  Or perhaps I was just showing off my english...?

tukka her dafa lag jata hay?!

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa. PostMan kuch kuch kaheen kaheen sahi hai. Lol. :)

lol.............in other words you are half intellegent but math test is left

ye to aur bhi bayzti hay :p

unfortunately i know some ppl jinka har dafa hi tukka lag jata hai..........or they might be intellegent......yes.......i am.....:( but they dont seem naa

wesay do intellegent pple look sharp from their looks?

I dont know.. my mother considers me very intelligent :p perhaps I have those looks :p personaly I think I am handsome :p

but then mother are mothers :|  they get biased I know... I think I am handsome :p

See.. there you go.. you have the answer.. This is how one shows not being intelligent!

hahahaha........what should i say Handsome ;p

If i talk about my ammi, then i am the most beautiful girl on earth (dont know about other planets as my mom didn't visit any).

We laugh on such comments of our parents but from inside we consider it absolutely true ;p.......and wow how much great when u feel na....

Yeah you are right.. and one should not be disrespectful to their mothers... SO I am now handsome and intelligent :p

of course yes.....parents are always right :)

In brief...

Multiple intelligence - refers to where one is adept in two or more normal practices / faculties / disciplines...

Average intelligence - well I suppose this is the general level of proficincy that most people fall into...it is the 'norm' category....e.g. restraint in not committing suicide...dat's average intelligence...if one did, we would say they were below average (in that respect)...the benchmark for this is constantly changing...who knows what would be considered normal in this instance in times to come..?

Intelligence quotient - this is a score that one is given after having taken an IQ test and measures one's overall intelligence across a broad array (whch i dnt knw off-hand...nt mch of a help...hmm, i do knw how it is calculated frm the site http://michna.com/iq.htm )

EQ - this is one's scoring based on their ability to handle diverse scenarios without getting overly emotional or, on the other hand, being too insensitive to one's plight...it's all about one having an emotional balance so to speak...

About the time factor....this would depreciate one's IQ...(dependent upon the level of difficulty of the problem at hand)...sometimes innovation and the methods which two people would do the same things but in different ways also radiates intelligence in their due proportions respectively...

I think although one may know Math & English (which are v.important and play a central role in the deciphering of many problems and resolutions...) there is so much more than needs to be understood...science...technology..basic humanity...etc...

hmm...these topics on intelligence and education are quite broad...let's hear frm others...  

Knowing all that and still not knowing precisely makes it challenging, no?

oh wow...these 16 other comments were posted whilst i was multi-taskin and my browser kept displayin d historical pg...browser's nto v.intelligent...

Intelligence...yes, it does encompass one aspect of understandign for this is indeed necessary for one to reac sound decisions and formulate good strategies and inventions...it's a measure of overall skill and conduct...the ability that one has also to differentiate when to use that skill and when to resort to other means...

Are english and maths benchmark of intellegence?

Then what about our those elders who are not much educated but they did make excellent dicisions with 'good end' results (as Postman mentioned)

Hawa! you are making intellegent very complicated. Is it so?

Hmmm...good contributions from all. :)

Postman - pls kindly elaborate upon what u have said :)

The Sophisticated - no, intelligence is not that complicated..a text-book definition could given but understanding where those derivitives tend from and how situational those are...is a lil more complex...altho that wasn't the Q so i apologize for 'drfiting off'....

English and Maths...hmm...well, maybe not English there as that is not the 1st lang of preference over there in some places, right...maybe urdu would apply there..in the states it is regarded as a measure of one's intelligence...maths...yes, i think it does measure intelligence but not exclusively....

oho Hawa! Postman elaborated clrealy that he is handsome and intellegent (according to her mom) and no further argument plz. We should respect each others' parents.

Knowing Maths well attributes to logical and deductive ability while command on languages means ability to communicate well and maybe understand things a lil better. :)

I DON'T KNOW. I DON't Know.

Lolz. PostMan -her.

my point stand still, if these two are the bechmark then my grany is..........i mean she thinks that she is intellegent but dont know any of these

Hmmm....let's see.

Iola - yes, I agree abt what the good cmd of Math & English/mother-tongue lang represent....but I feel there is more...what do u think?

TheSophisticated - sowee, neva saw PostMan's follow-up comments up til now...these comments are some times posted in jumbled orders (or not at all until much later) when I clcik a buzz....hmmm...

PostMan - hate to break it 2 u but if what ppls moms say rings true then u are in the 'average intelligent' category as many moms would attest to what u say...anythin unique? ;)

Waiting for a word from the Maestro too! He finds intelligence in every form of nature.

Intelligence is camparative too

, no? 

Hawa:"...anythin unique? ;)"

How about intelligent and handsome?! :p 

Common sense is not so common. Same is the problem with uniqueness

thats the point Iola...........intellegence is every where but the point is how many of us can distinguish it?only intellegent ppl?

Iola - absolutely!

PostMan - ur takin that from ur mom's words and i was syain dat if u all take our mom's words then we are all good-looking and intelligent...so that makes u average then...wat's the breakthrough factor???? (btw, im not implying that ur not good-looking and intelligent or are good-looking for that matter...js kiddin arnd a tad bit)...

Iola - absolutely!

haha! its ok Hawa :)

OK.. how about average-intelligent and handsome?! :p 

it doesn't work Postman :/

Average is not that impressive. What about its synonyms?

really Sophisticated?

how about average-intelligent and kinda-handsome?! :p 

TheSophisticated - I think ppl that are not as intelligent as those above them can still recognize higher intelligence as it would be evident that the one higher up is doing things differently, saying things differently, acting out plans differently or the like thereof...there has to be some distinction btwn them and the others which would stand out..

PostMan - oh, orytie, i'll take ur word for it! R u in quarantine though because Brad Pitt is stl on the higher ranks of handome...where's u name??? :)
