There are
several concepts
for intelligence
depending on the multiplicity of functions and many its constituents. Dr.
Howard Gardner has identified eight intelligences and proposed a ninth that he
is currently researching: the Existential Intelligence. My type of
intelligence is Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart).
Intra-personal
Intelligence (Self Smart) is one of the nine intelligence. It is the capacity
to understand oneself and one’s thoughts and feelings, and to use such
knowledge in planning and derationing one’s
life. Intra-personal intelligence involves not only an appreciation
of the self, but also of the human condition. It is evident in
psychologist, spiritual leaders, and philosophers. These young
adults may be shy. They are very aware of their own feelings and are
self-motivated. For example for Persons with Intrapersonal Intelligence:
Eleanor Roosevelt, Plato, Helen Keller and Joan of Arc.
This
is also true for me. I am always setting my goals. I am thinking about what I
want? and I am planning about how I can get that I want. I have self-
confidence which make me to go ahead and to face difficulties. In addition, I
have full independence in my thought. For example, I have ability to make
decisions and to solve my problems.
In
conclusion, self smart people are comfortable with themselves and are
knowledgeable about their strengths and weaknesses because they do
self-reflection. They may like to be by themselves to think through a problem.
They may daydream about their future, keep goals both short-term and long-term
to accomplish, and try to do things to grow as a person. For me I often
understand myself, and I try to improve myself. Actually, I feel so happy when
I make something amazing.
