Degrees of Intelligence

On the other end of the spectrum, having the natural ability to absorb and use the education the world has to offer is hugely beneficial. Having the same ambitions, determination, and self-esteem would make obstacles much simpler to conquer. Some of the stress ors of hard work could be minimized giving that person a better chance of success. I have a friend whose daily life is fill of responsibilities. Her family is fill off well-educated individuals. Her life is not simple but she is a quick and well-organized person. Her ability to educate herself and to do it in a reasonable amount of time gives her a comfortable amount of time to have relaxation and recreational activates. Remember that without proper influence in a person’s life, that person’s future could still lead to nowhere. People with great intelligence on a piece of paper may not be that smart in the challenges that life may give them.

Daniel Goleman, writing “Why would a very intelligent high-school student stab his teacher over a grade that he didn’t want? Just because a person is crazy does mean he or she has to be stupid. The behaviors that make a person are separate from their low or high IQ test score.

Poor genetics and or IQ can be overcome by a person’s will power to become intelligent. In the ice age, hominids didn’t just start becoming more intelligent every generation because of genetics alone. In order to fight for their survival, hominids needed to grow beyond their comfortable normal mental capacity although the evolution was with one new though at a time. Hominids learned slowly by passing each new idea to each other. People lean the same was today. By building of the intelligence of others, we learn more.

Coming from a family with learning disabilities, I have had to work very hard to obtain my education. I was not born with the typical mind to learn easily. I had to overcome my limitations to get the intelligence to achieve the lifestyle that I want. I have put the ideas around me together to make my challenges possible to conquer. I dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen. Three years ago a sixth grader would have had better academic skills than I would have had. Now I am succeeding in college level writing. With me determination like the hominids to survive, I have achieved a new level of intelligence for myself.

Intelligence becomes to use from all different angles. Yet will we ever know what the extremes are in high intelligence for people? No. Everyone has some kind of ability to do something well an in other abilities not do well in at all. Saying that genetic control intelligence is not necessarily always true but can be helpful. Our species has amazing brain thinking power. How well can a mind be trained? We are what we choose to be just by knowing our strengths and weaknesses and applying ourselves.
