11.4. Let’s Practice

1. Define intelligence. How do people in your culture (where you currently live) define
intelligence?

2. Describe how genetic (nature) and environmental (nurture) shaped your intelligence.

3. How could you respond to the person who says that having a child who is retarded is a result
of the parents’ sin?

11.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson

Review the personal strengths you identified in Gardner’s multiple intelligence chart. How will
you use those strengths to pastor/teach others?

Also consider the spiritual gifts listed in Romans 12 or 1 Corinthians 12. Do you identify any of
these in yourself? Do you see a correlation between your spiritual gifts and your personal
intelligence strengths?
