How Intelligence can Affect Our Future
"I know that I am Intelligent, because I know that I know nothing." - Socrates
In this millennial era, “Intelligence” is such a primitive word to impress other ingenuity. By frequently used as a scientific name or something related to robot, it shows that Intelligence has its own beneficial way to describe its own meaning. Until now there is no standard or agreed definition for Intelligence. This essay will discuss about the Theories of Intelligence and arguing how Intelligence can actually affect our distant future. Firstly, the essay will focus on the definition on Intelligence itself. Secondly the essay will argue on what’s the actual benefit of our own Intelligence. Because the data about this topic are limited, so I will dig more down to it.
In my opinion, Intelligence is the ability to think, making the explanation, and understand about something instead of doing things automatically or instinct. Some professional psychologists have their opinion on Intelligence too, like the one that founded on the Dictionary, fourthed published on 2000 it stated that Intelligence is the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge. After getting the background meaning of the Intelligence itself we’re going to take a little throwback on how intelligence are treated back then. In 1960 Intelligence are seen by how good the person language skill are. Even in majority campus like Cambridge and Oxford are require to take Spanish test for new applicants. Around 1990, these language skills are slowly faded and not used anymore and they started to use analytical skill.
The greatest philosopher, Socrates gave one definition of intelligence: “I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing”. By this statement we can conclude that the more we are classified as intelligent so the more knowledge we gained too. This mean that the curiosity that we’ve been built make us more valuable in life. One such researcher, Howard Gardner, initially proposed that there are seven intelligence, including bodily-kinesthetic, linguistic, interpersonal, visual-spatial, and so forth. A problem with his theory is that not easily measured. These days Intelligence are usually tested by some paper-based test called ‘IQ test. but the real question is, Do IQ test provide a good measure of intelligence? In other words, is it a meaningful concept? Does Gardner theory fit better?
In the books called Hypersanity: Thinking beyond Thinking, Intelligences are compared with our culture that mostly equates thinking with logical reasoning, and the first few chapters examine logic, reason, their forms, their flaws, and starting with basic of argumentation. But thinking is also about much more than logical reasoning, and so the book broadens out to examine concepts such as intelligence, intuition, emotion, and imagination.
In conclusion, Intelligence surely can be the golden pathway for us who wanted a successful life. But this doesn’t mean that non-intelligent person can’t be a successful person too. The ability to recognize, solve, and learn from the problem that such things can get us classified as an intelligent person. If intelligence fail to live up our dream life and its tall promises, it should at least make you into a better thinker. Eventually the intelligence can’t be accurately predict our future goals because until now there is no perfect concept for measuring how good the intelligence’s persons are.
