Psychology How have you been labeled as a child or as an adult, and how has this impacted your identity and performance?

As a child I was always labeled as intelligent. This impacted my identity by showing me how I was different from others (because of this special talent). When I became older, this established certain standards for academic performance. I used this to push myself to do more (based upon these beliefs).

Based on the newer, broader definitions of intelligence, (such as Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences), assess your own strengths and weaknesses. Do these definitions change the way you see yourself now?

These strengths and weaknesses are showing how I meet the various categories for intelligence (according to Gardner's theory). This based upon several predetermined criteria to include: the potential for brain isolation, the presence in core operations, a place in evolutionary history, distinct...

These definitions are changing the way I look at myself and intelligence. ("Howard Gardner," 2012)
Do you believe there is a link between intelligence and career choice and success?

Yes. This is because intelligence will have an impact upon the kind of occupations that everyone is working in. When this happens, it will influence their ability to successfully complete various objectives. This will have an impact on how quickly they are promoted and the opinions about their quality of work. Those who are able to embrace these kinds of attributes will become some of the leaders inside their organization.

Given the debate about nature and nurture in developing intelligence, what do you think you can do to enhance or develop your capacities?

The best way that I can…
