Answer 1

There are at least 8 types of intelligence
=============================================
Linguistic and Verbal Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good with words. They are often good at writing, reading, and talking about things. This group often includes writers, poets, lawyers and public speakers.

Logical and Mathematical Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good with math and logic problems. They often enjoy solving mysteries, reading about scientific discoveries, and like to figure out how things work. They are also usually good with computers and a variety of other gadgets.

Spatial Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good with pictures and images. They are often good at putting puzzles together. They appreciate art and photography, like to draw or doodle, notice details, prefer geometry over algebra, and are good at directions.

Body and Movement Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good with sports and movement. They often talk with their hands, like to build things, clown around in class, have great balance, and are good at a variety of sports.

Musical Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good with music and rhythm. They can often read music, remember old songs, notice patterns, and can naturally figure out how to play a tune on an instrument.

Interpersonal Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good with people. They are good listeners, can read body language, hate injustice, can see through people who aren’t being honest, hurt when others hurt, enjoy deep conversations, and often reach out to others who are hurting. Educators, counselors, salespeople, religious and political leaders all need a well-developed interpersonal intelligence.

Intrapersonal Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good at analyzing things. They often think a lot and are highly aware of their strengths and weaknesses. They also often keep a journal and think deeply about life.

Naturalist Intelligence

A person strong in this area is good at understanding nature. They enjoy the wilderness and like to read about nature. They also categorize things, collect things, and enjoy studying plant parts.

Schools often favor verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences. This is because most
schools are centered around verbal lectures and a core curriculum that puts a lot of importance on science and math. To cater to all types of learners, schools must strive to find a balance that incorporates the arts, self-awareness, communication, and physical education.

Which intelligence are we talking about?

Answer 2

I think intelligence and open-minded thinking are two very different things. High intelligence might limit understanding, but only to the degree that low intelligence would keep one from even being able to understand the path.

Answer 3

It depends how you define intellect. Surely, if you look at the full intellectual continuum, including emotional intelligence, then the use of intuition, sensitive, trust and perception become highly intelligent and expansive activities!

Answer 4

Sure we could rationalize a decision to death before ever making one... where the simpleton can decide based on fewer criteria...

For example, one who is unencumbered by critical thinking skills, or medium level logic might easily be taken in by a sales pitch made by a "God of the gaps" peddler..

Answer 5

Yes. Especially when knowledge is specialized. One could not see how the other branches of knowledge could impact the other without being open minded, or aware of their perspective.

Answer 6

Sure. I think this is true. It is so alive. I feel that is the reason of god
