Everyone that's still leaving and mentally stable is intelligent, hence he/she can apply knowledge to acquire a skill. Also the processing of going to school and getting good grades too is a great and multitude of intelligence.
We have different stages in life and for us to be able to acquire them, we must pass through education which also means education is the key to every success. Unintelligent person can't stand a chance of acquiring if this stages because it involves intelligence person.
Once someone can acquire and apply his/her knowledge and skills, it means that person is intelligent enough that why he/she is able to do all that. Going to school also is a great way to acquire more knowledge and it's needs to be an intelligent person to accomplish all this.
When talking about intelligence, it involves:
- Learn from experience: This means the retention, acquisition and use of knowledge
- Solve problems:This means we must use what we have learned to come up with solutions that will solve problems
- Recognize problems: This means that someone must use his/her knowledge to identify the problems that it can address or night fixed.
Example, For someone to be able to buy goods from wholesale and retail them to customers is known as intelligence because he/she has the ability to sell them and earn from it.
Or in the process where a driver has collected money from all his passenger and still know the actual changes he needs to give to all of them is also known as intelligent.
Going to school only boost and help us to acquire more knowledge to add up, it also makes us exhibit and put up an act of intelligence for us to be able to bring up ideas that will help the growth and development of our skills.
Going to school also help in building an intelligent person that will fit the country current development and growth
So human intelligence involves mental quality that consists of the ability to learn from our experience, the ability to adapt to new situations and also to understand and handle abstract concepts by using knowledge to manipulates one's environment.
We have different types of intelligence and school is the only place that gives the real facts and figures this like what's already been done, how it's been done, when it was done and where it was done.
So it can only give us facts and figures about our today's world, but it can't really teaches us how to make it a better place. It take relies on a whole understanding of life, mostly that which are not taught to us in school....that requires intelligence.
I will like to say that school can only inform one to an extent, but it only takes intelligence for a person to be able to apply and use that information. Getting good grades in and exams is wonderful, but most times is doesn't make the best indication of intellect or intellectual potential.
So, on my own view, I don't really thinks school can proves one's intelligence, the only which only proves one's intelligence is what they can do with what they've been taught or what they've learnt, and also taking a test is the only way to apply knowledge and understanding.
So no. I don't think school proves a person's intelligence. That which proves a person's intelligence is what they do with what they've learnt, and taking a test is only one way to apply knowledge and understanding...
