Human intelligence Intelligence takes many forms and some of them cannot be measured in academic terms. While logical intelligence guarantees top-performing students a spot in a prestigious university, linguistic and artistic intelligence are likely to be accumulated throughout a course of time. Take Maxim Gorky - one of the greatest writers in Russian literature, for example. His writing is based on the knowledge and experience gained during the time he traveled across Europe. Hence, it is said that intelligence are not necessarily grown in an academic environment. Human intelligence cannot be simply measured by academic qualifications because it is an inborn character that we inherit from the previous generations and will pass it through the next ones. Thus, undeniably, universities do not represent one's intelligence. Furthermore, these days, it is argued that as the number of students continuing their education beyond school levels is increasing, our society is undergoing the so-called academic inflation. Therefore, it is fair to say that humans cannot be trained and never be made up to be intelligent in academic ways.
