I was busy over the weekend volunteering for charity for orphans and elderly. I rarely ever miss a weekend engagement topic so here I am squeezing this topic of how I define intelligence.
As humans, we are the most intelligent species on Earth or at least that's what we consider ourselves as. This can be proven by what we see now and compared to what we saw twenty years back and even centuries ago. We are always improving and innovating and at the very core all of it starts from a human and their idea (but who knows future it might be AI). They keep doing trial and error where they learn the mistakes from the trials and keep on applying until they perfect their idea.
For me, the definition of intelligence is about being able to learn, store that information learned and then being able to apply it. Every person has the ability to learn, store information and apply it; therefore, I believe every human out there has the same capacity of intelligence. The variation comes from the differences in how each of us learn and process things. Some people are just better and faster at learning and some people are just slower. There are some people that struggle a bit because they are dyslexic or have autism but I wouldn't say they aren't intelligent. I've seen people with autism that are actually very intelligent but it would be at a certain area like I've seen some super good with art or super good with math.
How about me? I would consider myself intelligent. I already said everyone was so why wouldn't I be. I don't want to sound like a narcist or anything but I do believe I am able to learn and apply things better than the average person. I also feel like I have decent emotional intelligence (EQ). I am able to assess the situation and read the vibe like the way people talk and from there know behave accordingly such as when to joke or take things seriously.
Well this is what I think of intelligence. I'm curious to know what you think so feel free to add on your thoughts in the comments whether it being agreeing or disagreeing with what I've said.
