very fascinating!
i really enjoy seeing these sorts of thinkings amongst ats... for this is one of the many reasons i joined this sight. for outside intelligence.
i can really say that it is one of my mains sources of outside intelligence, away from my readings and philosophical thinkings amongst the years.
I correspond to many of these levels. Being a prodigy at the piano and having the gift of a musical ear along with my excellent mathematical skills
and understanding and adaptation to the languages ive studied, i find this very interesting.
Along with these "smarts" however, i really am not compatable w/ people of my age (21), being as how i cannot really hold an in-depth intuitive
conversation with them without many contradictions and questions. I am not saying i am better than anyone else, because that is just silly. I
earnestly and sincerely view this planet as a "whole" if you will, and i feel it is a relative blink of the multiverse's eye before we begin to...
click.
During the past year i want to say i have evolved... but in reality it is just my brain growing slowly to its full nature. In the past four months i
have been studying eastern philosophies of "chi" and human energy. I always view "Mind over Matter" on things (this is maybe why i have no broken
bones being an outdoor climber/skier/soccer-player/mtnbiker?) and just in the past year want to develop the muscle that i feel i have been lacking
on... the brain.
Meditation i feel is the key. Truthfully, we do not know the power that we harness.
LOVE TO YOU ALL!

Same to you!
You must find outlets for your mind and it may be with older people. I had the same issues my whole life. Most of my friends are in their 50's and
60's...I am not yet 30....

Where does memory fall in there? Some people have a photographic memory, some can remember data, some can remember a vacation they took in a visual
almost poetic way. Some remember conversations word for word.... Is memory an ability that corresponds to a particular intelligence type? Meaning, do
we remember what we are "good" at?
I really think that memory has nothing to do with intelligence. Remembering something means nothing unless you can apply it in someway. Game show
intelligence isn't worth a dime, unless you are on a game show.

For instance, have you known someone who was extremely smart in a few areas, but lacked common sense?
Yeah, I've know several people like this throughout my life. They'd be really really book smart and make good grades and such. But they'd always
seem to lack common sense, and would come off as being functionally retarded I guess you could say.
