1. Linguistic Intelligence: the capacity to use language to express what’s on your mind and to understand other people. Any kind of writer, orator, speaker, lawyer, or other person for whom language is an important stock in trade has great linguistic intelligence. 2. Logical/Mathematical Intelligence: the capacity to understand the underlying principles of some kind of causal system, the way a scientist or a logician does; or to manipulate numbers, quantities, and operations, the way a mathematician does. 3. Musical Rhythmic Intelligence: the capacity to think in music; to be able to hear patterns, recognize them, and perhaps manipulate them. People who have strong musical intelligence don’t just remember music easily, they can’t get it out of their minds, it’s so omnipresent. 4. Bodily/Kinesthetic Intelligence: the capacity to use your whole body or parts of your body (your hands, your fingers, your arms) to solve a problem, make something, or put on some kind of production. The most evident examples are people in athletics or the performing arts, particularly dancing or acting. 5. Spatial Intelligence: the ability to represent the spatial world internally in your mind — the way a sailor or airplane pilot navigates the large spatial world, or the way a chess player or sculptor represents a more circumscribed spatial world. Spatial intelligence can be used in the arts or in the sciences. 6. Naturalist Intelligence: the ability to discriminate among living things (plants, animals) and sensitivity to other features of the natural world (clouds, rock configurations). This ability was clearly of value in our evolutionary past as hunters, gatherers, and farmers; it continues to be central in such roles as botanist or chef. 7. Intrapersonal Intelligence: having an understanding of yourself; knowing who you are, what you can do, what you want to do, how you react to things, which things to avoid, and which things to gravitate toward. We are drawn to people who have a good understanding of themselves. They tend to know what they can and can’t do, and to know where to go if they need help. 8. Interpersonal Intelligence: the ability to understand other people. It’s an ability we all need, but is especially important for teachers, clinicians, salespersons, or politicians — anybody who deals with other people. 9. Existential Intelligence: the ability and proclivity to pose (and ponder) questions about life, death, and ultimate realities.

Howard Gardner’s seminal Theory of Multiple Intelligences, originally published in 1983, which revolutionized psychology and education by offering a more dimensional conception of intelligence than the narrow measures traditional standardized tests had long applied. (via divinespirit)

Being intelligent is not just about being ‘smart’ and good at academic subjects.

TO HELL NEGATIVE THINKING: 11 EASY TIPS FOR BETTER THINKING

Are you always thinking of your imperfections? Constantly thinking something will go wrong? That no one loves you? Are you losing your mind over criticism? Are you spending hours telling yourself how worthless you are and comparing your life to others?  Are you missing out on opportunities due to your pessimistic thoughts? Is your life spiraling down due to this?

I’ve learnt few thing’s in my life young as it seems. The most important one is that life is too precious to waste it on negative thinking. How ? No not because I’m clever but because I’ve seen death too closely and all of a sudden without any warning and realized that even a minute is a gift. I’m so sorry if I led anyone to believe that my time need to be wasted in futile arguments.

one of my most favorite movies. EVER.

I’m not sure if any of you have seen this, but if you’re interested in watching a movie about schizophrenia (and PTSD, alcoholism, hallucinations, depression…etc.), I recommend watching Shutter Island starring Leonardo DiCaprio. I absolutely LOVED the movie. I’m jumpy when it comes to “thriller” (for me, meaning “scary”) movies, so if you’re a chicken like me, watch this during the day so you won’t be flipping out shitless. :P

Other psychological movies I recommend are Donnie Darko, the Memento, and A Beautiful Mind.

Here’s a list of more.

Here’s a really fun fact I’ve learned recently. 

These are American Slave-Making ants, they have an odd behavior where they steal the pupa of other species of ants and force them to carry out tasks for the colony instead of creating minor workers themselves. This specific picture is of a slave that is no longer responding to its captors so it will be killed. 

[pyropansy]

These ants are racist.

Wait hold on someone explain this to me I’m so lost lol

[smilephia]

The belief is Haiti is that certain women can live under water and will lived there for years… These women are extremely beautiful and men being men can’t stay away from a good looking women are seduce and then dragged under water and are never to be seen again… My great grandmother was one of these women… One day her mother sent her to go get water from the river and she never came back 10 years later they see her come up the road in all white with beautiful jewelry all around her body sing up a storm.. When her family asked her where she was she told them she was under water… thats the story my grandma always use to tell me growing up

Shark Embryos Eat Each Other In The Womb

Sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) usually only give birth to two babies, but they can carry as many as 12 embryos in their womb. It was known for decades that about five months into the typical 12-month pregnancy, the largest embryo would begin to devour all but one of its littermates, but scientists couldn’t figure out why.

It turns out that this bloody, in-womb carnage is the mother’s fault, because by mating with multiple males, she’s set in motion an all-out paternity war.

In 2013, a team of marine biologists led by Demian Chapman from Stony Brook University in the US decided to investigate, analysing the embryos of 15 sand tiger shark mothers at various stages of development. The sharks had accidentally gotten themselves caught up in safety nets and died. DNA tests revealed that in the later stages of pregnancy, it was more likely that whichever few embryos were remaining had just one father. This means that the father who sired the biggest, strongest embryo competes with other males at passing on his genes and wins. (Source)

There is no such thing as Area 51

by reddit user Blue_KeyCard

There is no such thing as Area 51. Sorry! And the fact that it’s the golden egg of conspiracy theories worldwide is exactly what the US government wants. I’m writing this in a bit of a rush and I don’t have any of my thoughts organized, so I’m just going to break it down as follows:

Groom Lake / Paradise Ranch / Edwards AF Extension / Restricted Training Facility UX104

These are a few names for the place you know as Area 51. I don’t know much about its history, but essentially it was intended by the US Air Force to be a secret weapons-testing facility during the Cold War. It had a few on-site extensions; one of them was for developing experimental rocket and jet engines, one was for training contingents of troops for nuclear warfare and post-apocalyptic survival, etc. But much like the third Star Wars movie, the site and its purpose got out around the time of the Roswell incident, and a media frenzy popularized the base. The government tried at first to quell speculation about it, but then adopted another strategy: feed into the hype, and simply move the base a few dozen miles away.
