IQ?
Psssshaw.
That’s so passé.
Harvard researcher Howard Gardner has spoiled us with eight different types of intelligences that we all have in varying degrees. From Logical, Linguistic, Visual/Spatial and Musical/Rhythmic to Bodily-kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal and Naturalist Intelligence, we’ve all got soooo many areas where we can express our true genius.
IQ wasn't the reason for Michael Jordan's genius--that was his kinesthetic intelligence. IQ wasn't the reason for Mozart's genius--that was his musical intelligence. IQ wasn't the reason for Lincoln's genius--that was his interpersonal and intrapersonal genius.
What do all of these "geniuses" have in common?
Much more than their IQ, they all discovered and developed their specific intelligences. They focused on what they were great at (aka their genius) and played (worked?) extremely hard to reach their potential.
Another thing they all have in common: You couldn't pay them enough to not do what they do.
When you feel that strongly about what you're doing, that's a pretty good sign you're on your way to experiencing your genius.
So what’s your genius?
