Thread Name: BS: HOW do you think?
Subject: RE: BS: HOW do you think?
I don't understand your question, Rowan, but I'm sure there are more kinds of intelligence to add to that list.
For example, I have a friend who can watch a complicated mechanical device perform a rapid-fire operation, and she understands immediately which part does what, and what's wrong with it, if anything.
I just stare at it in bewilderment.
On the other hand, where I would say something is 'infinitesimal,' she would have to stop to think and then settle for 'very, very, very small.'
