This Again.

People are complex things. Some people are smart, and some people are dumb. Its true. But where we fail in our surmise of people is, as always, in assumption.

As I say, sometimes folk are just plain stupid. However, more often than not it is the case that a person we believe is stupid is in fact highly intelligent in an unconventional way.

For example, there are academic intelligences and emotional intelligences. A person may not have a great grasp and knowledge of literature. However, that same person may have a great intuitive understanding of people, how to speak to them, how to relate.

Multifaceted intelligence is a thing that is difficult to measure.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, people are complicated.
