i was pondering about the following idea and was wondering what the rest of you thought.
i noticed that my biggest weakness is the ability to see relationships between elements. in other words, when i am faced with unknown objects, things or ideas i have a difficult time drawing relationships. (when i embark upon solving a new mathematical problem or coming up with ideas to solve existing challanges, i have a tough time putting things together. for example, solving an operations problem or differential equations where existing formulas dictate a particular path of action, i am very slow in putting the right things together. even when i see solutions to a problem i cannot always piece things together, while i see others easily doing so.)
for me this idea seems so self-evident and obvious that i now think that it is this that keeps me from increasing my intelligence. or better yet, this is what makes intelligence (at least to a certain degree; i am not negating the fact that there are multiple intelligences). so, naturally my questions is, what can i do to increase that ability? practice you will say, but what kind of practice? after all i noticed this spans over all kinds of subjects and thus is not unique to just one topic.
i am fascinated to hear your insightful comments on this!! thanks in advance!
