Here’s an interesting link from Seth Godin. He explains that we are all excellent at one type of intelligence (Bodily-kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Verbal-linguistic, Logical-mathematical, Intrapersonal, Visual-spatial, Musical, and Naturalistic). Of course this means that we are bad at the other 7 types of intelligence. This means that people may be viewing you (or me) as dumb, when really we all have something to offer. Just make sure that you find out which type you are great at, then use it to project your intelligence.
