What is intelligence?

What is meant by intelligence? Who is intelligent? Who can be intelligent? these are questions that we probably all asking ourselves. Well intelligence can be defined in different ways. According to the dictionary intelligence is defined ; the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. Some other definitions says;to utilize logic .

According to research or studies there are eight different intelligence that every average individual human being comprises. Let me try to list the list them so you understand what I'm talking about at least : Musical intelligence,bodily - intelligence,mathematical - logical intelligence,verbal- linguistic intelligence,visual-spatial intelligence,interpersonal intelligence,intrapersonal intelligence,naturalist intelligence. 

Back to the question of ,who is and can be intelligent? my take in this that everyone of us humans are intelligent,and always have been is that some of us need to exercise our particular sets of brain as we have a right and left brain that
are in control of particular functions of activities that we do. It does not necessarily mean that if you are not mathematical-logical intelligent you are not smart or just dumb. The people with mathematical - logical intelligent are considered more intelligent than others with different set of intelligence and that's where the problem lies with our society because we do not embrace each other the way we really are. If we really did for instance some is taking a particular class  and is constantly failing and not because they are not doing their work but the fail even when they try, so what do we do then? in stead of pulling them and discouraging them by calling them names such as stupid or failure, we get to the bottom of the matter by checking what activities or skills they can do better to help them archive or find themselves because maybe that particular subject or class were not really meant for them.

So everyone has all intelligences and some only needs to strengthen and embrace them.
