[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but not all people with good memory capacity are intelligent. Memory is a trainable, lower level skill. It is completely possible for someone to be great at memorizing but not be intelligent. A less intelligent person can be trained to memorize.

Intelligent people have good memories, but not every person with a good memory is intelligent.

To add to this, there is a big difference between being able to figure out the solution to a problem on your own without outside help and being taught how to solve a problem and memorizing the steps. The first takes intelligence, while most people can be trained to do the second. Lots of people can be trained to solve typical problems, but a smaller number have the ability to figure out a solution without being told how to do it.

The example of the young kid who takes apart household items and fixes them an puts them back together is a good example of this. People who can solve problems without being taught how to do it tend to be very intelligent. Sure, they can memorize too, but they can do much more than that.

It's interesting that some do not understand the difference between memorizing and problem solving.

This is the difference between the educational system in Korea, for example, and that in the west.[/quote]

The Korean educational system is much better than the US system.  [/quote]
