Triangular Learning and Thinking Drives Our Creative Intelligence

In this episode, I delve into the concept of Creative Intelligence. Our current educational systems predominantly emphasize a linear approach to learning and thinking. However, individuals with gifted neurodivergence leverage their sensing intelligence to branch out from the linear learning path and subsequently connect these branches back to the main path, thus fostering novel thinking. This phenomenon is what we refer to as creative intelligence.

Unfortunately, creative intelligence is not effectively nurtured within our existing educational systems. These systems are structured in a way that inhibits the development of sensing intelligence. Students are often confined to dull classrooms, instructed to keep their hands in their laps and maintain a forward-facing posture. Moreover, the teaching pace is typically slow and lacks the flexibility to accommodate individualized learning or in-depth exploration. Subjects are taught in isolation, devoid of their broader context, resulting in a significant reduction in the student's cognitive potential. Consequently, students tend to become mere tools for their teachers or employers, gradually losing their capacity for autonomy and the ability to forge their unique path in the world.

By exploring the interconnected facets of our knowledge through the triangle links of understanding, we can unlock innovative concepts that have the potential to reshape the world.
