Neurons have the major control of our intelligence development. Dermatoglyphs analysis can help us discover the development of our neurons and understand our innate strength and weakness. Even Albert Einstein has only used 30% of his innate intelligence, the rest is developing intelligence. How can parents and educators help children develop their intelligence?
Before Dr. Howard Gardner has proposed the theory of multiple intelligence in his book Frames of Mind in 1983, the intelligence development of students completely has depended on the expectation of their parents and educators. In other words, the expectation of the teachers has a great impact on how well the students perform. In 1970s, educators are requested to show positive attitudes toward all students. These resolutions have encouraged a lot of students. There was, however a few theories have developed about intelligence.
Since the 1970s, theories on intelligence have come and gone but IMI has set an unprecedented standard in the fundamental understanding of our Innate Intellect. Intelligence only exists in the presence of input. The input, however, is processed by our innate intellect which is how we process information, namely the speed and style in which we accept input. The output becomes our intelligence.
