Dr. Mario Alonso Puig - Si CREES que no eres bueno en nada, nunca lo serás

Episode Date: March 10, 2026

¿Y si no te faltara capacidad, sino el contexto adecuado para que pudiera desplegarse?Durante años hemos reducido la inteligencia a una sola idea y, muchas veces, a un número: el cociente intelectual. Pero la inteligencia no es solo razonar o memorizar. Existen distintas formas de inteligencia, y cada persona puede brillar en un canal diferente.En esta conversación hablamos de por qué la inteligencia se puede cultivar y expandir, de cómo los tests tradicionales solo miden una parte y de la importancia de la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples de Howard Gardner.También exploramos algo clave: cuando una persona cree que “no es inteligente”, su autoestima cae y eso afecta directamente a su rendimiento. Por eso, descubrir en qué eres bueno puede devolverte algo la confianza en ti.Y finalmente enfatizamos en dos inteligencias fundamentales para que nos vaya bien en la vida.¡Suscríbete!MÁS INFORMACIÓN Y RECURSOS ÚTILES: 📖 Libros🎧 Accede a mi audionewsletter gratis🎟️⁠ Entradas a la nueva conferencia 2026PÁGINA WEB Y REDES SOCIALES OFICIALES:🌐⁠⁠Página Web⁠⁠📷⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠▶️⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠📲⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠💼LinkedIn𝕏 Twitter

What is very important, transmit it, is that the intelligence is that the intelligence can cultivate, that the intelligence is can expand. And that the intelligence really is something that is something that can't understand

the reality profound of the things. Entendar that nobody is a tonto. What the past is that if something is because not we're talking in the channel in the process a information.

But as, We've decided that there are an intelligence, not various intelligences. So, we're going to desprecisear, we're going to deseching, that's not in the current dominant. Hey, being intelligent, not, or is the same

than be able to, no, or agile mentally? Well, that is a great question. It's the same being intelligent than be list. I'd say that the intelligence is a, you know, capacity that we have

to be able to adapt to the certain situations that we can't understand that we can't use

that we've understood and that that's that we can't advance in the life.

A many people that are intelligent that have a great capacity but they

also that we say that is a little is a little bit that's not sure that

opportunities that can be to be that that intelligence always are distinctions subtiles

difficult what is very important transmit is that the intelligence can cultivate

that the intelligence can expand and that the intelligence really is

something is something that is something the reality profound of the things

well we we are talking in singular, the intelligence of someone, the fact has made it

during many years and there can see doing it with the conscientious the intelligence

not is exclusively the capacity that we have to reason why there are many other

intelligences the concept intellectual exactly what is? Well, let us this is an

investigation that is a case many many years and to some and to

to elaborate a test that distinguier to those people with an intelligence normal or superior to normal and a

people who not have that that not had that the question when the test was that

this was that this would be in a form to judge to us this is this is

he's I'm I'm I'm there and for this there's there's there

there was I when was a small to to be a college an exigency

was precisely to do that the test of cociente intellectual. What is the test of the test of

the test that is a test that maybe only some of the capacities of the intelligence. Recordem

that it comes to intus leger penetra in the profundity of the

things. So, only your capacity, the capacity of the

reasonamient mathematical, linguistic, or spatial. So, the grand

advance in the camp of the intelligence is he was the professor Howard Gardner, that was a professor for professor David Perkins of the MIT.

So Howard Gardner was convinced that the study that was made the intelligence was for the least incomplete. That there

many people very intelligent and that were transitabhan for the life, creendoset that not

they were that they were not had power. And so he said my dear friend Robinson,

a lot of some systems schoolers that directly those desechable because it was the sensation that they

not had sufficient intelligence. And when a sometimes these people, um,

marginated by the system educative, of the we form part of those, montavers,

or had an authentic discoveries, but they were saying, what, what's more

surprising, in the other to say that that's not

so so the professor Howard of Harvard started an project that he

called zero, because it was a zero. And in that project, in what he wanted to discover if there more factors in the intelligence.

And then he pointed a point a little to what you he said, he said, he could be to be

intelligentias. Sure, that S is a Rene's a lot of that's a thing, no, no,

you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you're,

Or, or no, is. Now, now, you have to ask what type of intelligence have. It's

saying, someone who has a question intellectual back, can be very intelligent

in other other's other than a example, I'm an idea of a article

for article. But, you know, not it doesn't matter to be a lot of

other and that and that should be a series of some for some

personal not. For suppose, and also I'm another precious, that

I heard that's the American Robinson, that has been probably in the camp of intelligence

to the people more bestacled that were in the world, of a little

that they said they said in the middle to the mother, that this a need

that he had a little and that they were they were a, that were

a person a bit could help maybe she had been they're they've

they're you have diagnosed of person torpe and for so if you you're not intelligent

the future the future that you get a is more more of this mother

gave to his his wife and he took the incredible fortune

to get with a professional with a sagacity out of

normal so when when he went to the consulta of

this psychologist the psychologist the music classical and

observed some movements curious in the nina. Then, he said, the mother, pardon,

can you come to come to ask you to have to find some papers, something like, so, like,

so much sutil, for the little, so, he was, to get a quarter that had, you know,

these windows, you know, these, and a spee per other, and the little bit of the question, but the mother,

via the crystal. And then before to getse, subio the volume of the radio, the psychologist,

and the So they went to the psychologist and the mother was a and he said, observe. And then the little, being that was alone, she went to and he started to and then the psychologist to the mother

of the, the, the little, he said, you have a star of the dance in potencia. It was one of the best ballerinas that had been in the Reign-United.

What do you? And Howard Garner calls this intelligence, intelligence kinesthesiacic intelligence of movement what is

that the system in the school in the young he never consider that that was

that was part of the intelligence so what what we has brought out

the professor garner has been a an an an an

ampliation to not consider never that nobody is torpe that

to understand that nobody is a tonto what the is that if something is because not we don't we're

talking in the canal in the process a information interesting. I've got I've got

I've got eight types of intelligence that he identified the professor, the psychologist, I know

that I've been a Cambridge I was in Cambridge. I was the program that did so

is that I'm like language, mathematics that these two are the

most are the most with the stereotype of person in this. Exactly. Logical. But then, then,

I was that I was thinking in a friend my to have been doing relations public in a in a discotheca and he, he's, like in a suerty

consiguing contracts. Maybe not is the the major capacity to make multiplications or raises quadad of

memory, Tandpok has the gerga more specialized in in his profession, but it has a capacity to create with the people that has a success

in a success in your work brutal. Sure. You have to be in a thing that is very connected, is it very connected. When a person

think that is intelligent, so your autoestime can. When your Autostimma, cae and you can't find

an desire you. There's a change in the riego of the brain and the part of the

brain that is connected with the world of the intelligence receive less blood, with what

you make you make more you're a situation emotional has an impact

intellectual. So that that's a friend that's he does know that's

good in the moment in the moment in that is good in something,

he he's stima more and when a person is stima, confia more, if anyone can be good on all. But, all we can be

good in something. And that's to what we to transmit to all the persons that can be, not only that

can be, that are good in something, and that they have to discover it, because a very drama is when a person

says, is that I'm good in nothing, is that I'm not, no, you're good in that

that's that's valorando, but if you're very good in something that's very well, even in a certain context, the person that you mentioned you,

well, at the first was a person that had a lot of many of retos in the system of and it's quite, he was very in the life.

He's very in the life. Why? Because, because he has connected with something that's alineated with his

capacities and that also refuerza his autoestime. Of course, all we know. One oppositor is a opposite.

program, he's put nervous, he's put in the opposition, they're saying,

that's is separate the cognitive of the emotional, is a thing of the

that you know, you say, well, you know, you're well, you're

good, but that's that's that's you can't you know, the problem is when

one's when one's not because the system or a certain system, only consider

two factors, so how you you're going to consider only two factors when we're

We know we know, for the number one of the world, Cathedric, where he's not going to say Harvard, because he has to get us with another more, that we're going to not yet of eight, but of nine intelligences. How not you're going to be good in one of those? And, of the moment in that you know that you're good in something, that you recuperates the confidence.

And you're to trazzar your life, alineated with that in what you're you're saying, well because it's because it's a good for natural now I don't know how

we identify our intelligence but to what you see this reflection that I'm listening to

you know there's you know there's to distinguish between intelligence and I think we

we've we've not so if erroneamently the form historically

the intelligence with the but fissate this stereotype

because we we we're who is a a mathematician very, well,

very good, you, for example, that is that you do very to do not to do you, much people,

much people you'd say, well, is that Mario is very intelligent, but, but when

when you think in a musician, in someone, it's different, you know,

not you don't you don't you don't you know, I think it has been very well,

Albert, the language generate an enormous confusion, that is a

person intelligent that is a person that is a person that has a person that has a person that has a that's a

I think we're to go to something more more simple the intelligence is the capacity that we're

that makes adapt to and make front to the one person that is a

good a good a something something to come and it is a

person that's a person that is a capable of the world of the natural

is is a form of intelligence. A person that's to appreciate something, you're just are a dimension of the intelligence. So this is, this is marvellous

because we have montones of possibilities that's that are in our eyes but as we have decided

that there an intelligence and not various intelligences, then we get to despecial, we get to

that not is that in the current dominant. And when we a persons that have recuperated their autoestim, that confian in some

themselves, even they're that they're all they're not, they're they're doing, and we've been what they're doing, we're doing, there's there's a lot of, the other person who's

a great esteem, he started to observe this and say, how there's that's very in the life, too in the life, and

not have been done in the camp educative. And, he's, he distinguished two intelligences

that not only are the most are the most important. There are two forms of the intelligence in the theories of

intelligences multiple of Professor Howard Garner that are that are the things in the life. One is the

intelligence interpersonal. The capacity to connect with the capacity to understand to the people,

the capacity to put a little in their zapats, to understand that you have a

vision of the but not the vision of the that's the job of that. What is that? The collaboration. What can do do and that's worth without a lot of

someone? That could do you know, because the other is the intelligence intrapersonal. The capacity to understand to, not to judgeartes,

but to understand, what is what I'm doing? How I can do do it? So, the sum of

those two is what is what is the general. The intelligence emotional is a concept that even

the The who, the, the who really was Peter Salow and the popularized was Daniel Goleman, is very based on these two, these two forms of intelligence. Who, today, reflexioner to know,

many people, when really there's a whole intelligence and deserando to start. Who really valor the communication human in the value that has the intelligence interpersonal.

All we've seen. Equipos, that at the level individual, it seems that no are none that's very

brilliantes but when they're put in a machine that's because they're particularly

connected so I think that you think that no there's nobody that no

anybody incapable but that has a intelligence different mark

a mark a distinction enormous especially in the self how

people have said you're you're you're tont you're

you, Sencient, you have an intelligence different to that that person that said that you're a stonto, or that you're a stonta. Because, because, because, as a intelligenceian, senciente, no knows valor it.

That's good. That's good, Mario. One, an ultimate point, because I'm, I'm not understanding, and, pardon, for the redundancy, all the intelligences explain, much times

the fracosos of institutions educative, how would, the apprenticeship having in in-counter all this, how,

we can't we're in the colleges, in the universities, in the institutes? Let's see. It's has demonstrated,

the fact, it's a professor in Garner, that when he can do really a system

educative, he's the professors, it's the last important that is to teach,

is that I think there's many more, more, that can have,

how can't have more importance and more relevancy in the view of a person. I mean, how many people, looking for a trance, they're saying, my life, I'm sure of this professor, thanks to this professor. So when she cuied that system

and it's a help to distinguish the different types of intelligence, what can be succeed there is absolutely marvellous. Now, we have to care a those professors, there are to care, to do the system ofocative,

and there are to teach us for that also learn this distinction. Because, if I mean nobody

me explain the theory of the intelligences multiple, neither me, maybe the mind

for that that's different things, it's very difficult that I can

perceive that that the eyes. Completely. Thank you dear

my time. Until the time that's a week. A break.
