Educational systems, however, have tended to emphasize only the first three, neglecting the other forms of talent and ability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The consequences of this omission are clear. Many of today&#8217;s most successful entrepreneurs emerged from non-academic backgrounds, with little formal training in conventional disciplines. Their success highlights that talent is often found in areas that transcend the narrowly defined parameters of traditional intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Intelligence is not only inherited, it is cultivated<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Following this line of thought, other researchers developed the theory of emotional intelligence: the ability to perceive, understand, and integrate emotions in a way that shapes our behavior and relationships.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daniel_Goleman\"><span dir=\"auto\">Daniel Goleman<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0, who popularized this concept, argues that emotional intelligence is not innate but cultivated. Skills such as self-awareness, social awareness, and relationship management can be developed through deliberate practice and, when mastered, significantly enhance leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">We all know brilliant analysts, endowed with prodigious intellectual capacity, who lack the emotional skills necessary to lead teams, making it difficult for them to reach positions of influence. Similarly, there are many leaders with average IQs who have achieved prominence precisely because they invested in developing their emotional intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Science has refuted the belief that intelligence is entirely genetic. As\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Richard_E._Nisbett\"><span dir=\"auto\">Richard Nisbett<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0, professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, has demonstrated, it is becoming increasingly clear that\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.es\/books\/about\/Intelligence_and_How_to_Get_It.html?id=p6oqxCteIyAC&amp;redir_esc=y\"><span dir=\"auto\">intelligence can be modified by the environment<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Educational environments have evolved to the point where they make populations more intelligent, and in more diverse ways, than in the past. Teachers play a crucial role in this process. Most of us can recall at least one teacher whose influence shaped our path, who recognized hidden potential within us, and who knew how to bring forth abilities that would otherwise have remained dormant.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Intelligence, art, beauty<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Among the often-overlooked forms of intelligence, one stands out as particularly relevant: aesthetic intelligence, understood as the capacity to comprehend, analyze, produce, or create works of art. Historically, one way to cultivate it was through the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grand_Tour\"><em><span dir=\"auto\">Grand Tour<\/span><\/em><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0: the journey across Europe undertaken by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/canal.march.es\/es\/coleccion\/grand-tour-educacion-estetica-sociedad-i-busca-edad-oro-49638\"><span dir=\"auto\">young English aristocrats<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0in the 18th and 19th centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">By traveling through France and Italy, they gained direct access to different cultures, arts, and traditions, acquiring not only knowledge, but also perspective, character, and the reflective capacity necessary to face adult life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Schiller: Beauty as a liberating force<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">In his\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com.ec\/books?id=LW0jyqlbUccC&amp;printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\"><span dir=\"auto\">\u201cLetters on the Aesthetic Education of Man\u201d<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Friedrich_Schiller\"><span dir=\"auto\">Friedrich Schiller<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0(1759-1805) emphasized this role of beauty as a force of inner liberation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Reflecting on the failures of the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Revoluci%C3%B3n_francesa\"><span dir=\"auto\">French Revolution<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0, Schiller concluded that political freedom could not be secured solely through laws: it required an inner freedom, cultivated through aesthetic experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Schiller described humanity as divided between two impulses: the sensory, which binds us to desire and change, and the formal, which draws us toward permanence and reason. This tension fragments the individual and destabilizes society. His solution was the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/perspectivasesteticas.blogspot.com\/2018\/08\/el-impulso-del-juego-como-principio-de.html\"><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;play impulse<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0,&#8221; which manifests itself in the experience of beauty and art, in which human beings are simultaneously rational and sensitive, subject neither to necessity nor obligation, but free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">For him, aesthetic education was not a luxury, but the foundation of any truly humane society. Without it, revolutions risk degenerating into violence or tyranny; with it, citizens, educated in beauty, possess the inner harmony indispensable for sustaining freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Hume: the civilizing power of the arts<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">A generation earlier,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Hume\"><span dir=\"auto\">David Hume<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0(1711-1776) had similarly defended the civilizing power of the arts. In his short essay\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.es\/books?id=19FCEQAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=gbs_ge_summary_r&amp;cad=0#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\"><span dir=\"auto\">&#8220;On the Delicacy of Taste and Passion&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0(1777), he distinguished between two forms of delicacy that shape human character.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The delicacy of passion refers to the degree of emotional intensity with which one experiences fortune or misfortune. Those who feel intensely experience joy more strongly, but also suffer adversity and criticism more deeply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Temperate individuals, on the other hand, face life&#8217;s ups and downs with equanimity. Hume concluded that, on the whole, it is preferable to be temperate than passionate, since in life sorrow and adversity predominate over pleasure and joy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Refined taste is cultivated through the appreciation of literature, music, and the arts. Those with refined taste experience profound pleasure in them, while those who lack it remain indifferent. Hume argued that refinement of taste can counteract the pains of passion. By strengthening our judgment and broadening our perspective, it teaches us to consider minor misfortunes as trivial, while providing us with sources of joy within our own control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">This idea remains surprisingly relevant. Cultivating aesthetic intelligence not only enhances resilience but also intercultural management skills. As Hume observed, someone unfamiliar with Italian music cannot be persuaded that it surpasses a Scottish melody. Cultural appreciation requires exposure, patience, and training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">In both professional and personal life, the shared development of refined taste fosters intellectual affinity and strengthens bonds. Hume even noted that it enhances love and friendship by making us more selective in our relationships and less dependent on the company of the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span dir=\"auto\">An education that teaches appreciation and reflection<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Taken together, the theory of multiple intelligences, research on emotional intelligence, and the philosophical reflections of Schiller and Hume all point to the same conclusion: education must be broader, deeper, and more humane, preparing people not only to calculate or analyze, but also to empathize, appreciate, reflect, and imagine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">In short, it must cultivate the full range of human intelligences, including aesthetics. Because by doing so, it not only produces more educated professionals but also freer, wiser, and more resilient human beings, prepared to face both the challenges of their time and the timeless demands of living well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Santiago I\u00f1iguez de Onzo\u00f1o is President of IE University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more than a century, the dominant measure of human intelligence has been the (\u00a0intelligence quotient ( IQ )\u00a0test ), a tool designed to quantify reasoning ability through the resolution of linguistic and logical-mathematical problems.
