[quote=Anonymous]“Intelligence” has many sides and types. There are many different types of intelligence. I know several book smart people (with PhD) that have zero street smarts and several “street smart” People that have never left the country and never read a book. My parents and teachers thought I was very smart (book smart) and I did get a PhD with minimum effort, but my friends with more “average” intelligence make more money than I do. My eldest was “super smart” and had words at 7 months (Pediatrician did not believe me until she “spoke” during a visit) and spoke in full and complex sentences (in 2 languages) by 18 months. She tested average in the private school IQ test at 5. My middle child spoke later, more on the normal timeline, and scored 99% in the same IQ test at 5... go figure My 18 month old son has a few words and most are not very clear... he is normal, healthy and happy... that is all I care about at this point [/quote]
