What is Intelligence, and Can You Teach It?
I believe that intelligence is three things: thoughtfulness, education, and experience. It is possible to be very strong in one category and be very intelligent because of that strength, but have room for improvement and further intellectual growth in another.

She began by mentioning that there seem to be many people, especially today's younger population, who seem to lack any notion of a creative way of thinking. That is, she recognized that many kids nowadays are being taught what to think, as opposed to how to think, which seems to be giving rise to a population of people who seem to struggle when problem solving alone, and sometimes even in groups. I was very excited that... A Fifteen-Year-Old’s Perspective on Testing

And now I am mad at myself for it. But, before I fall into such a pit of self loathing, I have to ask myself, why?

Yesterday afternoon, I had a conversation with a rather pleasant woman named June about our nation's current population of youth, and the ways in which our youth seems to process thoughts. June provoked the conversation after we had discussed that I study philosophy at ASU.She began by mentioning that there seem to be many people, especially today's younger population, who seem to lack any notion of a creative way of thinking.
