Step 1:
Three smartest people I know:
1. Marie Cuire
2. Mark Zuckerberg
3. Albert Einstein
In what ways are the smart
Marie Cuire: She was able to detect the harmful rays that come from uranium, and the way in
which said rays can pass through solid materials. While there is no IQ score available for Marie
Curie, she was known for her intelligence and her research notebooks are said to be mind-blowing.
Mark Zuckerberg: claimed to have an IQ of 152, which is considered a genius and in the top 0.1%
of the population in the world. He was the first person to develop such a successful social media
platform Facebook.
Albert Einstein: Strong Sense of Curiosity, Thinking Outside the Box Beyond his curiosity thus
allowing him to make inventions like The Einstein refrigerator, an absorption refrigerator that uses
heat to run a cooling system, The quantum theory of light, which explains the photoelectric effect
and the wave-particle duality of light and The Avogadro’s number, which is the number of atoms
or molecules in one mole of a substance.

Step 2:
Based on my reading I can conclude that Marie curies intelligence can be based on
nature and the way in /which she was nurtured. her parents were teachers, and She was taught to
read and write very young and was a very bright child who did well in school. They also stated
She had a sharp memory, worked hard on her studies, and was considered the smartest. Thus, we
can say she was born with great intelligence. She had creative intelligence for her to suggest
unfamiliar ways to solve problems. Based on her discoveries and inventions we can boldly state
that in Gardner theory Marie Curie processes most of Logical-Mathematical Intelligence. As she
carried out mathematical operations and investigates issues scientifically.
Mark Zuckerberg, both his parents are doctors, many writer say he was born smart
as both his parents are intelligent. He has both creative and high emotional intelligence, Mark
Zuckerberg is an example of a leader with emotional intelligence. He was able to find a new model
of social interaction and integrate the everyday things of social relationships on the Internet. Thus,
in Gardner theory Mark Zuckerberg has logical Mathematical intelligence as he saw a social
problem and coded a program Facebook to solve the problem.
Albert Einstein, based on my research many scientists believe albert Einstein was
born smart and they have also proven so as his brain was preserved for research. Einstein’s brain
had unusual characteristics that may explain his incredible cognitive abilities. In addition to his
unusual brain structure, he also had a smaller parietal lobe. This extra fold means that Einstein had
two brains. Albert Einstein had more of a creative intelligence as, He had a strong sense of
curiosity, thought outside conventional boundaries (thinking outside the box). Gardner’s theory
would say he possessed logic mathematical intelligence as he discovered so many facts and
principles in sciences today. As my research shows, he had the ability to develop equations and
proofs, make calculations, and solve abstract problems.
