You are taking my words completely out of context. It seems to me you have a bit
of a chip on your shoulder here. Everyone has dominant abilities of various
types, as you described yourself, whether they be emotional, social, language,
etc. and I was referring to those.

I don't care about the 'superiority of intelligence', understand? What I resent
is the idiotic beleif on the part of the social engineers that their own
insecurities about how their non-intelligence based skills need to be assuaged by
imposing on society as a whole the idea that everything we do is some sort of
'intelligence'. Be honest, call it by its right name. There is nothing wrong or
inferior about any other skills or abilities.

Funny that Gardner and his buddies don't feel the same way about the author of
"The Bell Curve".
