Thinker or Intelligent ?

Thinker or Intelligent? that was the main topic of the day. At first both didn't seem to have a huge difference. But once u slowly digest and understands the entire lecturer session , then there is a fine line situated in between.

What makes us so differently? Aren't we all human beings? how can 2 totally different types of mindset being generated? well the answer lies withing our brain structure.






As you can see the image above clearly states tat the left brain is on to analytical thoughts , logic etc. Where as the right brain is more on the Creative department. Most people will develop one side greater then the other one. Only a small glimpse is able to master both.

| Intelligence |



Intelligence people are smart, really really smart. They prefer to store knowledge and use it to solve any pending issues they face. They will seek knowledge in advance for that " just in case" moments. Hence with mostly Logics and facts filled in their head. Intelligence people is far less Creative in terms of designing. Why? This is because most of the ideas they can think of is based on proven facts that has been carried out in the past and they will reuse it and reapply it.Thats not called creating, its called refurbishing.

| Creative |



Creative thinking when people thinks out of the box. Little fact and logic is known to them, hence allowing their brain to think wildly. designing something which defy the existing product / idea. It just makes you go " wow ". Thinker's idea will give that WOW factor more, where as Intelligence people will give that " OH " factor. Because the response Oh is mostly given when someone explains something to another someone, and the person who understands will go " oh "
An Example of some Thinker is Bill Gate. He thought of something which does not exist during that era, and people will thought of him as a insane person, those people are "intelligence" people.

Ken Robinson


A video of him giving a speech was shown in class. But i really had problems trying to
understands what his trying to say as his slang was too fast for us Asians to catch up.
He is a perfect example of having the best of both worlds. Ken Robinson is once a professor, he
then grew sense of creativity and he then apply's them both together. So in that case, Ken Robinson
is and Intelligence Thinker
