The smartest person I know is influenced greatly by recent interaction, but I’d have to say it’s my dad. I consider him a renaissance man for a couple of reasons. He finally got his Bachelor’s Degree at 40, after working for a company for almost 15 years as a computer programmer and electrician. After he got laid off, he recovered as an engineer/architect. At home, the man fixes everything- he gets things done. My dad figures out problems on his own, he rarely stops to think and improvises well, which I admire. I wouldn’t necessarily give him the credit of book smart (analytical intelligence) but I would say he makes use of his creativity with his quick wit and improvising ideas to solve problems. I would also say he’s practically intelligent. This is all based off of the triarchic theory. I would say that his multiple intelligences might consist, in doses, of logico-mathematical, formerly bodily-kinesthetic, and spatial intelligence. With the g factor, he doesn’t popularize his expertise. Frequently, his family bugs him about fixing there computer, circuitry, machines, etc… Definitely more valued in the Chinese society from our text book J.
