It is important to understand and debate where our intelligence IQ comes from because sometimes debating about it can help motivate you and help you find out what your intelligence strength are and you intelligence weakness are. When one debates about intelligence, you argue if intelligence is nurture or natural born. In chapter 6 of Genome, Matt Ridley argues that IQ is natural and comes from the gene that influence intelligent. Ridley uses a group of gifted teenager with 160 IQ's gather from all over America as an example. There, Robert Plomin took their blood samples and discover that their chromosome 6 has has a slightly different sequence then chromosome other peoples chromosome 6. But Ridley also debated against his own argument stating that IQ does not tell how smart a person is. Intelligence can be influenced with practice, learning, and the right environments and conditions.
Everyone learns differently and it is important to figure out what learning styles suits us best in order to help us learn faster and more effectively. We can use our intelligence because intelligence help us determine our learning style. There are different types of intelligence such as scientific intelligence, musical intelligence, mathematical intelligence, visual intelligence, athletic intelligence, audio intelligence, etc. Me, personally, I think I am a mathematical intelligence because I have to follow organized steps by steps direction in order to understand things.
