Chapter 4: The Trouble of Geniuses, Part II

People can have two types of intelligence, general intelligence and practical intelligence. These are orthogonal meaning having one doesn't mean you have the other. We all know people who are high in one area and low in the other. Personally, I think the best place to be is having equal amounts of general and practical intelligence. I think people who have more general intelligence have a harder time fitting into society because they don't know how to interact socially. I think that they feel that they can't relate to their other peers who may not be at that same level. Throughout my school career, I have seen several people who have excelled really well in school and because of that they became segregated. I think that sports help take away from that and allow those who excel in school to work on their social skills. Through sports, a commardarie is brought about that people can translate to other parts of their life.
