Multiple Intelligences

Intelligence is the potential to solve problems and to create ideas and things that are valued in the current culture. A person's intelligence can vary over different areas such as science, art, athletics and social interaction.

Strengths usually come from a combination of natural ability and a lot of practice and support in that area.

Knowing your intelligence profile will help you to take advantage of your strengths and develop your challenge areas.
