Intelligence Quotient Multiple Intelligence Human beings are born with a set cognitive ability or intelligence. This intelligence can be measured by a set of questions. Intelligence is fixed. A person can only be a smart as his or her genetic predisposition determines. Intelligence Quotient A new way to think about intelligence. All human beings have nine different kinds of intelligence that reflect different ways of interacting with the world. Intelligence is not fixed! Everyone can build and develop intelligence.
