In chapter 9 I learned about overconfidence. Many people are overconfident. People have a tendency to overestimate what they can actually do. Before performing various tasks, people think they can do them better than what they actually can. I found this to be very interesting since I don't think I can do very many things correctly. Overconfidence also takes place in businesses and other various activities. In today's world, too many people are overconfident.
Creativity is the ability to produce novel and valuable ideas. I believe I am partially a creative person, depending on the day and the mood. I apply my creativity especially in my Creative Writing class. This class makes me be creative because we have to write every single day about something new and it must always be interesting. Being high in creative intelligence can be a very valuable trait to have. Creative people tend to succeed in the creative industries, especially art and music. Creative people can come up with new ideas that are not boring at all. Being creatively intelligent can help you in your personal relationships by being able to help out others.
In chapter 10 I learned the eight different intelligences and what they are. This was very interesting to me, especially when I took the test. I got my results back and they were not always what I expected them to be. Being multiple intelligent was a good thing because it allows you to be a versatile person in your life by being good at many different things. This was interesting to me.

Overconfidence is very interesting. Everyday I see many people who are overconfident. I don't think I'm a very overconfident person. I usually look down on myself and don't think I can do things I'm capable of. Once and a while I do think I can do things faster and better than I actually can though. My creativity also depends on the day and mood. Danielle, ALL your ideas are valuable! =)
