Characteristics of Intelligent Behavior
Finding Humor

• Examples include
self-effacing
humor, the use of
wit and puns, and
situational humor
• In the classroom,
I would use
humor to “liberate
creativity and
provides highlevel thinking
skills” (Kellough,
2011, p. 78)

Listening With
Understanding
and Empathy

- Rather than paying
scant attention and
being flippant when
listening, this
characteristic
involves making
yourself free of
distractions ,
looking the student
in the eyes, and
truly listening
• I would listen with
understanding and
empathy to gain
the students’
respect and trust

Responding With
Wonderment &
Awe

Thinking
Flexibly

• This means to
genuinely listen
and show
enthusiasm when a
student expresses
an idea or presents
an item
• The use of this
characteristic in
the classroom
serves to inspire
students and
hopefully motivate
them to produce
high-quality work
and thoughts

• When thinking
flexibly, students
think “outside of
the box” and learn
to approach an
issue from many
different angles
(Kellough, 2011).
• I would challenge
students to engage
in critical, flexible
thinking about
problems and
always look for
more than one
solution

Questioning and
Posting Problems

• With this
characteristic,
inquisitive
students freely ask
questions and pose
problems in the
classroom without
fear of being
shutdown by the
teacher
• I would wish to
encourage this in
the classroom by
setting aside
classroom time for
higher-order
questions and
critical thinking
