Final Thoughts On Intelligence
If before reading this article you did not consider yourself to be an “intelligent person” I hope you are now starting to reconsider that false belief.
We all have different forms of intelligence, and different people are “intelligent” at different things. For example, David Beckham is someone who I consider to be extremely intelligent.
If you had not read this article you would have probably laughed at that statement, but he is clearly very good at football (soccer) and so it’s obvious his dominant form of intelligence is Bodily-Kinesthetic.
However David is probably not a very good mathematician, but by focusing his efforts on his dominant form of intelligence (i.e. sport) he eventually became very successful doing something he enjoyed.
Identify Your Intelligence And Act Upon It
Take some time to identify your dominant forms of intelligence, and if necessary take the multiple intelligence test.
By understanding what your dominant forms of intelligence are, you will see what you are naturally good at and therefore what you are most likely to be successful at.
You will also find that these areas will be the things you most enjoy, and because you enjoy them you will have the drive, motivation and determination to keep pressing forward in the face of adversity. So identify your dominant forms of intelligence and act upon them!
