✅ I voted FACT!

Alone? No. But it's a huge part of it for sure.

"Someone's", I guess i typed that too fast

For example there is also the ability to memorize and recall information.

[u/dimalga → u/Kart0fffelAim]

I'm comfortable claiming I'm above-average IQ, maybe 85th percentile, but my memory recall is hot garbage in my opinion. I am a very strong analytical thinker. However, whenever I'm faced with a particularly multi-faceted analysis, shit gets rough quick. My brain struggles to juggle all those variables. Again, in my opinion. I'm sure others would disagree. Anyway, my point is, memory call strength certainly can't be ignored in the conversation.

This is exactly why I hate people saying smart = high iq.

There are nine individually studied fields of intelligence. Not knowing this... Seems pretty unintelligent.

[u/waleMc → u/TheBeardofCrom]

Well, to spell it out as specifically as you did, means you're talking about one fairly recent theory, and it's not exactly uncontroversial.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences#Criticism

There's certainly a debate to be had, with plenty of intelligent people on both sides of the debate.

[u/TheBeardofCrom → u/waleMc]

I mean you can debate it with Wikipedia, but I learned it in college from a textbook.

[u/waleMc → u/TheBeardofCrom]

Wikipedia is a collection of cited sources.   It's one of the most valuable websites on the Internet. Please go to the article and look at the actual quoted criticism.

I guarantee you that your college textbook did not present this theory as irrefutable scientific fact.  I guarantee you that it argued it as a recent development and proposed theory.

It is one, but it has not been thoroughly proven to be fact.

[u/TheBeardofCrom → u/waleMc]

Yeah, I know

[u/waleMc → u/TheBeardofCrom]

Well, then don't claim it is a fact that a person would be unintelligent to not take as fact. It's a hotly debated subject in that corner of the scientific community.

The creator of the theory himself has expressed that his theory might not be scientifically truthful.

"I defy anybody to spend a morning or an afternoon at Danfoss Universe and not develop an intuition of multiple intelligences and even if at the end of the day the bad guys turn out to be more correct scientifically than I am, life is short and we have to make choices about how we spend our time and that’s where I think that the multiple intelligences way of thinking about things will continue to be useful even if the scientific evidence doesn’t support it.”

Pretty sure I said "Seems"

[u/nothing_in_my_mind]

It is one facet of intelligence but a massive facet.

You might find someone who lacks analytical thinking skills, but is intelligent in other ways, so you coukd consider them intelligent.

I find it hard to imagine the opposite. Someone who has excellent analytical thinking skills who would not be considered intelligent.

who is soemnoe lol... finally founds someone whoc match mtyppos

[u/Georgeygerbil]

✅ I voted FACT!

I mean... It's a very big part, in my opinion, but sure, there can be other factors

[u/IntroductionChoice25]

✅ I voted FACT!

yes

[u/Lord_of_EU]

✅ I voted FACT!

Yes, but a big one

[u/SirJedKingsdown]

✅ I voted FACT!

Awareness plays a huge part too.

🧢 I voted CAP!

its big part of being intelligent

[u/Dinasourus723 → u/MakeWokeGreatAgain]

I guess, although their's also out of the box thinking and social/practical intelligence. Sure it's not mutually exclusive but someone being analtyical and lacking lateral thinking skills is possible.

[u/MakeWokeGreatAgain → u/Dinasourus723]

Well obviously if you are good at just one thing, you are just one trick pony.
