Let's Talk Intelligence **Journal Questions **

My definition of intelligence is someone who is able to open their mind and think critically on certain subjects whether they require in-depth abstract thinking or not. || I eould probably just ask them to hold a discussion with another person and being able to express their opinions in a respectful manner and use each other to come up with some hypothesis. || I think intelligence comes with expressing your opinions and ideas, but also doing so in a respectful way, otherwise your opinion won ’ t matter to anyone. || Sure, I think intelligence can be taught because it takes experiences and outside and personal knowledge in order to grow intellectually . || I think you can just figure out whether someone is intelligent or not based on the way they speak and/or write because if they talk with slang and in a very ghetto way, they aren ’ t all that intelligent, I don ’ t think. || I feel really intelligent when I’m playing a trivia or guessing game with friends or family and guess the correct answer. That always makes me feel smarter than everyone else. I have felt “not-so” intelligent when I’m arguing with someone and I think everything I’m saying is completely right, and then they trip me up on a point I had never even considered. That always makes me feel defeated.
