How intelligent am I?
#18
RE: How intelligent am I?
Definitely one way of looking at it.

I would certainly agree that there are many different completely diverse categories to have a high level of comprehension about in speed and/or depth of understanding.

I believe intelligence is about both potential/unlocked/depth/'profundity' of comprehension and also the speed of that comprehension.

But indeed there are so many things we can be competent about or 'kinds of intelligences'.

When it comes to animals, yeah humans kind of cheat by being the only animal on the planet capable of defining intelligence in the first place which kind of makes our self-defined intelligence circular or self-referential.

When it comes to comprehension skills we are definitely higher than other animals though! Many animals can definitely be more skilled than us in many ways including memory, but comprehension speed and depth (at least intellectually speaking) is not one of them.

P.S. I also believe 'it takes one to know one' or IOW only intelligent people can tell the difference between high level comprehension and merely trying to look smart.
