@hartfire For sure. And there are so many different *kinds* of intelligence.

@hartfire edit: *kinds, not kids lol
@SW-User Indeed! :)
I put intelligence into roughly broad categories:
logical (analytical, mathematical & musical),
creative (lateral & synthesising),
practical (includes technical)
linguistic,
visual-spatial,
and proprioceptive.
I don't regard intelligence as one thing, but as the integrated sum of many hundreds of microskills.
I see it as a potential in all babies born relatively normal and healthy, and subsequently nurtured by environment - i.e. plastic, continually developing and changing and not a fixed quantity.
If one were to define it as one thing, I'd say it is the ability to recognise patterns and use that information to solve problems or invent new things or processes.
