the world isn’t split between those who are smart and those who aren’t…

I can’t remember where I read this, but in some scholarly piece of literature somewhere someone developed a typology for intelligence.  Where do you fit in? 

Active intelligent: you are smart and assertive.  you make things happen.

Passive intelligent:  you are smart, but not a go-getter.  you can be trusted, but not put in charge of things.

Active stupid:  you are not smart but you are assertive.  in other words, you should be watched carefully.

Passive stupid:  you are not smart or assertive.  just do what you do.

  1. Passive Intelligent: Don’t put me in charge of anything…especially big groups of high schoolers!
