Intelligence-wise, I probably rate myself higher than I should. I communicate well, I admit, but linguistic ability is only one type of smarts. Mastery of words has its uses, but so does hand-eye coordination, an ear for the placement and production of sound, an eye for line and color, the ability to organize ideas or synthesis facts, an understanding of human emotion and individual need, and a hundred other talents which I possess in smaller quantities than others or not at all. Intelligence comes in many forms and many colors; some measurable on standardized tests and some not.
