Intrapersonal Intelligence
SIMILAR to the faculty of Interpersonal Intelligence is that of
'INTRA'personal intelligence - our cognitive ability to understand and sense our
"self." Intrapersonal intelligence allows us to tap into who we are, what
feelings we have, and why we think and believe the way we do. A strong
intrapersonal intelligence is tied to self-esteem, self-enhancement, and a
strength of character that can be used to solve internal problems. Conversely, a
weak intrapersonal intelligence inhibits confidence, social interaction and in
severe cases (such as autism)can even prevent recognition of the self as a
separate entity from the surrounding environment. Intrapersonal intelligence is
not easily recognizable from the outside unless there is displayed in an
emotion, such as rage or joy, or outward exhibit such as a poetry writing or
painting.
