Intelligence of Mine

Jimvie A. Gador

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

Intelligence can be defined in many different ways since there are a variety of individual
differences. Intelligence to me is the ability to reason and respond quickly yet accurately in all
aspects of life, such as physically, emotionally, and mentally. Anyone can define intelligence
because it is an open-ended word that has much room for interpretation. Thought out our lives,
we are faced with many different learning experiences. Some of these experiences have made a
better impact than others. This can be attributed to everyone’s different multiple intelligences
or learning styles. A persons learning style is the method though which they gain information
about their environment. Each type of intelligence is not the same for every person. Everyone
has their own unique personality and therefore has their own style of learning or retaining
information provided to them. I believe that life is a learning experience and being able to
recognize our own strengths and weaknesses can help us become better individuals in anything
we choose to do, whether it is positive abilities and skills that can help achieve our goals or
negative personal areas that need improvement. Knowing yourself and what you can do, can help
you recognize and overcome your weaknesses.

Each person possesses each intelligence to an extent, but there is always a primary, or
more dominant, intelligence. While some can learn very well in a linguistically-based
environment (reading and writing), others are better taught through mathematical-logic based
learning. Still others benefit most from body-kinesthetic intelligence (learning by doing with the
hands).

As I developed myself, I can identify now what are my intelligence as a person. I am an

interpersonal person. It means that I have the capacity to understand others and connect with
them. This is similar to intrapersonal intelligence except that it’s about the way an individual
interacts with others. Indicators of this intelligence include sensitivity to other people’s feelings,
moods, motivations and temperaments. I just noticed myself that I’m good at communicating
other people. It’s just that I can feel their emotions and feelings even though they hide it from
the eyes of the judgmental society. Interpersonal intelligence is about other people, it will expand
your opportunities, social sensitivity, influential, and concerned with the greater good. All in all
all I can say is that I know how to interact and communicate other people.

Everyone has a comfortable place to escape for relaxation, and I’m one of those kind of
people, I love to sit in the green grass and listening to the nature sounds around me. Nature
relaxes me with its magic. The sound of the birds singing and chirping as if they are creating a
song can calm me. But there is something I love above all, it is a peaceful quietness that you can't
get in a big city or town . The green grass and the leaves on the trees dancing in the breeze can
comfort me. Then I see bright flowers around me that will amazed me. The sky is a beautiful blue
landscape with fantastic clouds in it that will reflect my soul. The clouds are big, foamy things
resting in the infinite sky that will bring me into the feeling of cloud nine . Nature have different
shapes, that makes them fun. Nature brings out inspiration in me. Nature’s beauty and calmness
reflects who I am. Just like nature that has a feeling of enthusiasm, freshness, uplift and
happiness. Nature. Nature is my half soul , we are connected.

And lastly, I am a visual learner and in order for me to retain information, everything I
learn has to be digested thru my eyes. Visuals help me learn better because they allow for my
brain to process the material better. For example, if my teacher is explaining the structure of a
specific essay, a diagram would help me remember. Therefore, when I write that type of essay I
will remember the diagram that goes with it. Also in math, writing out problems on the board is
very helpful as opposed to just saying the steps. I am then able to write the steps on my notebook
and reference my notes for my homework or when I study for a test.

The goal I’m currently striving for this intelligence of mine is to make this world a better
place to live in by starting the changes with myself.
