80 IQ Retard brainlet here. Is there such a thing as having "mathematical logic"? I have a few friends who do as much math on there spare time as I do, so not that much. If we're learning a new concept, they seem to be able to grasp it incredibly fast, and then be able to work with it and logically come with conclusions, easily being able to predict multiple theorems or laws before ever being taught them. Ok, so they just have a higher cognitive ability then I do, great. However, in any other subject, they do just as good or even worse then me, with the sides seemingly flipped. If we start learning something about chemistry, which involves the same skills as math does, I start to grasp concepts better then they do. Whats happening here?

Nothing? not even a complaint? I'm basically if intelligence has separate components completely separate of eachother.

Nothing? not even a complaint? I'm basically just asking whether intelligence has multiple groups completely independent of eachother

You wouldn't be able to type that out in a clear way if you had an IQ of 80. But you did.
Yes, some people are smarter than others in some things, but the way you talk about it, it's almost guaranteed you're still in HS, so you haven't seen any "real" math or science yet.
But you will find as you go on that someone who instantly grasps a concept in one subject, is much more likely to instantly grasp another concept in another subject.

Also this is a slow board, not getting a response for 20 minutes is normal.

Math isn't about memorizing experimental data

man it sucks that intelligence is genetic

there are different types of intelligence.

howard gardner identified these nine. the one your friends seem to be good at is likely "logical-mathematical".

these groups are roughly correlated (.33 something) but im too lazy to find a source. im sure its out there somewhere about "g" intelligence.

the disparity in you grasping concepts in chemistry as opposed to math is probably because you didn't formulate early mathematics intuition or didn't have a strong mathematical upbringing. or it could stem from a lack of confidence. anyone who disagrees with these claims is probably a pure maths major and want to believe that they are naturally smart instead of coming to terms with reality that they aren't a genius.
