other people's emotions.
Managing relationships.

9. How culture influence this theories
• According to Cocodia E, (2014) “Notions of
intelligence may vary based on experiences
within our social and cultural environment”
(p.183)
• Cocodia E, (2014) also states that
“Decision-making, verbal accuracy,
problem solving skills, perceptual skills and
inference are all important characteristics
of intelligence within cultures.” ( p.189)

10. •Cultures have different values of
importance to the various types
of intelligence.
•Gardner says: "It is the culture
that defines the stages and fixes
the limits of individual
achievement.”

11. Conclusion
•There are different ways to learn and to
define Intelligence, their characteristics
and the way people learn.
•Adulthood is cumulative of experiences
that allows us to develop our sense of
intelligence and to know how do we learn
and what learning skills we already have.
Those experiences make us appreciate
and defined our educational goals.
