Know Your Form of Intelligence I Robert Greene

there's a book I recommend for everybody

it's Howard Gardner's five frames of

mind it's helped me immensely the idea

is he talks about five forms of

intelligence our problem is we think of

intelligence as mostly intellectual but

there are many forms of intelligence

there's the intelligence that has to do

with words there's abstract intelligence

that has to do with patterns and

Mathematics there's kinetic intelligence

that has to do with the body there's

social intelligence he has five of them

and the idea is your brain naturally

veers towards one of them it can towards

two of them that happens but generally

one of them kind of dominates and it's

like a grain in your brain that's going

in a certain direction you want to go

with that grain because that's where

your power will lie so when you're young

if you go back and think about when you

were four or five you you can maybe get

a picture of some kind of direction or

voice inside of you that was impelling

you towards this
