- Intelligence enables learning and plays an important role in individuals' success in life.
- According to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence, intelligence is of several kinds. Each individual has his or her own unique abilities and intelligence in one domain does not ensure intelligence in another domain also.
- Intelligence is much more than the ability to perform well in school as it is the ability to comprehend the world, reason rationally, and effectively employ resources to deal with the challenges of life.
