What's Painful

[MaggieL]

My ex- (at the time a pharmaceutical chemist; this was before the nurse practitioner stage) bought a tin of Bag Balm once...and then refused to use it after reading the ingredients; as I recall there was something nasty in it: (phenol, perhaps?)

What's in Bag Balm these days?

Wolf: Speaking of Amazon.com recommenders, when I looked up Bag Balm they recommended Anti-Monkey Butt Powder Anti-Friction Plus Sweat Absorber
Actually, they need another hyphen. Apparently they're not anti-monkey.

8-Hydroxyquinoline sulfate 0.3% in a petrolatum lanolin base.

Oy.
Now I know why the ex- wouldn't use it. Also why it's not labelled for use on humans. In fact it's a phenol deriviative.

Nice tin though.

There's a man named Gardiner who came up with a theory about different kinds of intelligence. According to him, there's 7 or possibly 8 different kinds of intelligence.

When you consider that, it leaves room for everyone to find something they're good at...and when that happens, there's going to be other people who aren't so good at the particular thing you're good at. The different catagories are:

Linguistic intelligence ("word smart"):
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")

The biggest problem is that society values some types of intelligence above others. Fortunately, I believe the worm is turning, and that can only be good for all of us.

Mrs. dar uses the multiple intelligences thing to teach her third graders. She tries to incorporate as many of the different styles of learning into each lesson that she can.

Couldn't there almost be a cellar poll in here somewhere? Assign a 1-10 value per category. Based only on your own unbiased self examination. Cough.

Is there an empathy smart?


More kind of 'smarts' is a book I've read. It's called "The 5 love languages of children" Someone else here at the cellar mentioned the same title for adults. I think it was footfoot but I could be wrong and it was on another thread. I don't remember which one. Seems like it belongs here as well.

A guy? named Goleman pimped the idea of emotional intelligence with 5 areas.

Self-Awareness
Mood Management
Motivation
Empathy
Social Skills

These are the things your anti-social kids have deficits in.

I think Gardner was on to something. I know a guy who can carry grade (for drainage) never leaving the seat of the excavator. I'd be screwing around with water levels and such to get information that he just has.

It's a very popular teaching method these days, and one well worth while considering. Mind you, Mary Poppins was probably one of the forerunners when it comes to putting theory into practice. Didn't she have a song for every occasion...making all those little experiences just that much easier to understand?

Only in the Disney movie, as I recall. Mary in the original book was pretty freakin' far from Julie Andrews:-)

Also - never confuse skill with knowledge or intelligence.

[zippyt]

never confuse skill with knowledge or intelligence.

Thats like saying never confuse fire with wood and spark

It takes knowledge and intellingence to aquire skill , but it takes time to hone it properly .

I thought I understood intelligence when I was 22. I went to a college with a top 20 football team and became good friends with a defensive lineman that I wasn't sure belonged in college. He had a very difficult time passing his classes even though he studied very hard - I tried to help but had trouble getting even basic ideas to root.

But, start the projector and put on some game film, and he turned into Einstein. Eleven on eleven and he understood what would happen even before the coaching staff. He knew exactly what the QB was going to do even before the defensive coordinator. He went on to the NFL and had a short but successful career playing for the Seattle Seahawks. He got double teamed a lot not because he was a better athlete than his counterpart on the OL but because his football instincts were so good.

Now, had he not been 6'4" and 265 pounds and had he never gotten the chance to play HS football leading to his scholarship and a brief but prolific NFL career, would anyone have known he was smart?
