What does Intelligence Look Like?

People have been assuming for a long time that intelligence is something that comes natural, you're either born intelligent or not. This is extremely untrue.

Intelligence shouldn't be measured only by test scores since there are many ways to see what a person's capable of. Skills can be developed at any point of life, the only needed thing is determination.


Like Einstein once said "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

Everyone's intelligence is different. We have different abilities and we should focus on each other's strengths to determine their intelligence and capability.

There's a company I read about a while ago called NXIVM which offers intelligence courses through a program called Executive Success Program. What I found interesting about this is that the program teaches you "how to think" while other people and methods teach "what to think". Do you see the difference? ESP provides tools for people to develop and use their full potential. This idea was brought up by Keith Raniere.

I believe that school scores can no longer determine if we'll succeed or fail in life. They are important but there are also external factors to be taken in account.
