The power of the mind

The story of Kim Peek can help us clarify what we mean when we say that someone is intelligent. He could perform astonishing feats of memory, but had little ability to put information and knowledge to use. Anyone who met Mr. Peek would probably say that he wasn’t intelligent, suggesting that intelligence consists of more than the ability to acquire knowledge and perform calculations. Defining those additional pieces, however, has been a long-running debate within the field of psychology. Think about all of the people that you consider intelligent. What is it that ties them together? If you had to define intelligence, how would you do it? What skills or abilities would you include, and why do you think they’re important?
