By "mind tasks," do you mean the ability to solve problems using prior knowledge? You might explain the difference between book smarts and street smarts, and how these can be seen as different levels of intelligence.
You should define what you mean by life experiences by giving examples as well as with common sense so you can expand your essay. And when you say mind tasks I think of math and solving math problems.
I like how you are going to use having the ability to empathize as intelligence. When you said 'mind tasks', I thought of multitasking because it's an ability that would require a lot of intelligence.I agree with every one so far, you should be more clear on that.
What if someone who is intelligent but doesn't have common sense? It seems unrealistic to happen, but trust me. There ARE people who are intelligent but just lack the common sense, which really irks me.
What is "mind tasks" that you meant? So try to clarify on that. I think you should include also book-intelligent and street-intelligent, say their differences.
I don't agree with the others with book and street intellect. Intelligence should be one category as you have it. I also understand what you mean by "mind tasks" so in my opinion, what you have here is great.
I like your definition, but I am skeptical about your qualifier about empathizing... Unless you are confident that you can connect it to intelligence,you might be better off picking something easier to defend.
In one of your qualifiers you said, Common sense. What is common sense, and how is that related to intelligence? Do you have to have common sense to be intelligent?? I feel like can pick something else for you qualifiers something specific to why your definition of correct? I also think that your definition is way to broad, i think you can expand on it a little more, like everyone said, what kind of "tasks". Intelligence is more connected to the mental ability for one person to Cary knowledge and I feel like your definition is really close to the actual definition.
I like this topic but I feel like it is associated with book smart. the term IQ stands for intelligence Quotient so that could help quantify your argument.
Couldn't intelligence also mean adeptness at academic subjects, and an ability to get where you want to in life? These would both be good qualifers...but still, I don't think this definition is arguable enough, because "mind tasks" is not even a recognizable term! Narrow down your definition of intelligence.
Your definition works, I think you could possibly elaborate more on what exactly common sense is. These qualifiers gives you room to explore your thoughts because your they're so broad. Also, mind tasks sounds a little awkward to me.. maybe you could say mental tasks instead? Or something that makes the flow of the sentence a little more fluid. But good work!
Your simple definition is great. The only qualifier I question is the common sense one for I am curious of how you are going to support this with academic support. Other than that, good job!
what do you mean by mind tasks? i would try to think of some other way to phrase that. are academic smarts not a qualifier you want to consider?

ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by mind tasks? How is this different than wisdom?

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your qualifiers are for the meaning of wisdom. You could kind of compare and contrast with wisdom and intelligence .
ReplyDeleteYou might think about how fast does it take an intelligent person to understand? how creative are they? How effective can they solve a problem?

ReplyDeletegreat simple def and strong qualifiers i think you are definitely on the right track.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the intelligence coming from experience so I can argue your definition. your qualifiers of experience of life would work nice work
