The intelligence the IQ test measures is for mathematical and logical minds, but I still think that there is more to intelligence. Social, athletic, musical and lingual intelligence and the sense of space (e.g. sense of direction) and oneself are sometimes ignored, but I think they're vital to the whole intelligent human being. I'm sure we all know of the stereotypical scatter-brained professor, who is logically gifted, but not necessarily so in the department of sports and social skills. Or on the other hand we have the cheerleader, who is athletically adept and is extremely good at social networking, but not the brightest bauble in the box. In my opinion, when you have a good balance of most of these, then I might consider you truly intelligent.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
