Thank you for your comments on my article.. Your take on intelligence is your opinion - nothing more.

A person who has a high IQ can be a plumber, a computer scientist, a geologist, a bricklayer, or a big fat nothing. Intelligence is not demonstrated by the job you do or by the success you achieve. It is demonstrated by your ability to solve problems.

Can you figure out a working solution to climate change? Can you figure out how to relocate legally to another country without the right qualifications? Can you figure out a way to cross the African savannah without being eaten by a lion? Can You figure out the answer to a math problem that nobody else can? Can you invent a textile that does not catch alight in fire?

You are confusing knowledge with intelligence. Having a particular set of knowledge is not the same as having intelligence.

Intelligence is about problem solving, and people have different degrees/levels of it.

I think Gardner's interpretation of intelligence is a load of poppycock - typical of someone who doesn't have a particularly high level of intelligence and trying to make himself feel better about it. The majority of professionals in the field disagree with it. Read wiki.

I was not unkind to Kardashian as I have never met her. As a public figure, I am not obliged to sing praises to her just because she is a public figure. I don't know where you get that idea.

Thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion. There are many writers on Medium, and I am sure you will find some that will make you happy.
