This view is opposed to that which sees intelligence as a general ability, and each human can get a greater or smaller degree of that capacity.
Therefore, at the moment of chosing a career path is important to be aware of the types of intillegences that we can possess, and not only to gather information about the requirements of the industry or about the job environment.
