A Short Definition of your Highest Score

Intrapersonal - the ability to assess one's own strengths, weaknesses, talents, and interests and use them to set goals, to understand oneself to be of service to others, to form and develop concepts and theories based on an examination of oneself, and to reflect on one's inner moods, intuitions, and temperament and to use them to create or express a personal view. Possible vocations that use the intrapersonal intelligence include planner, small business owner, psychologist, artist, religious leader, and writer.

The latter I find particularly fun because I've been flipping through Emotional Intelligence lately, as it was referred to in "Introvert Advantage". So far, it makes sense to me - "book smarts" aren't everything. I mean, didn't we all know someone at some point who got straight As on tests but had no imagination, or a highly trained professional who had absolutely no social skills?

Oh yes!!!!! On both counts!!!!! For the first one, one of my scarier high school memories involves a straight-A, honour roll classmate who disappeared a couple of months into Grade 13 (G-13 was an extra year of high school, intended as university prep ... the classes were all university equivalents). Turned out that she'd spent her entire school life memorizing EVERYTHING, without ever comprehending much of it ... her brain, at that point, had reached saturation or something, and she'd had a major breakdown, poor thing. I remember her as a very sweet and easy-going person and it was a damned shame that this happened to her (her older sister came by her As easily and I suspect there was family pressure to "be just like ____")

Man, you CANNOT go through school memorizing - at some point you're going to have to actually learn something, think critically about it, etc. I feel sorry for the poor girl, but better she learned this before she got to college, or she would have been in WAY over her head :(

Oh I know, I know. I just hope she was capable of learning after that ... she was in a pretty bad state, mentally, and she never did return to school. :-(
