Introduction: A Personal Journey
I never expected to write a book about intelligence. As a child, I was placed in special education classes due to auditory processing issues and struggled to keep up with my peers. But those early experiences sparked a lifelong fascination with human potential and how we measure it. Through my journey from "ungifted" student to cognitive psychologist, I've come to believe that our understanding of intelligence is far too narrow. The conventional view - that intelligence is a fixed, innate quality best measured by IQ tests - fails to capture the incredible complexity and dynamism of the human mind. In this book, I aim to redefine intelligence in a way that honors the diverse strengths and paths to greatness that exist. By examining the latest research across psychology, neuroscience, and other fields, I hope to expand our appreciation for the many forms of human potential - and inspire a more nuanced, compassionate approach to nurturing it.
