About TK :

Gardner uses eight different criteria to judge whether a candidate ability can be counted as an intelligence

1. potential isolation by brain damage
2. existence of savants, prodigies, and other exceptional individuals
3. an identifiable core set of operations--basic kind of information-processing operations or mechanisms that deal with one specific kind of input
4. a distinctive developmental history, along with a definite set of "end-state" performances
5. an evolutionary history and evolutionary plausibility
6. support from experimental and psychological tasks
7. support from psychometric findings
8. susceptibility to encoding from a symbol system...
According to his definition, a core operation is a basic information processing mechanism--basically, something (like a neural network) in the brain that takes a particular kind of input or information and processes it. In Frames of Mind and his more recent writings on the naturalist intelligence, Gardner asserted that each intelligence should have one or more of the following core operations: Intelligence Core Operations / Linguistic syntax, phonology, semantics, pragmatics / Musical pitch, rhythm, timbre / Logical-mathematical number, categorization, relations /
Spatial accurate mental visualization / mental ,transformation of images / Bodily-kinesthetic control of one's own body, control in handling objects / Interpersonal awareness of others' feelings, emotions, goals, motivations/ Intrapersonal awareness of one's own feelings, emotions, goals, motivations / Naturalist recognition and classification of objects in the environment

Psi abilities are hard to explain, I think it's a sort of "data-protection" made by God or some Universes forces (What ancient peoples used to called Gods), to prevent psychics powers to fall in evil hands.

Some people have more "affinities" with some types of energies forms and elements.

For example, the pendulum and some other objects are electromagnetic charges.

In my case, my "affinities" are more oriented on elements (Fire, Water, Wind...). Not only these elements but I have some problems with magnetism.
