While it is possible that a person with low IQ may have some specific high cognitive ability, it would be very unlikely that he or she is high in a wide range of cognitive abilities.

I teach my students about Gardners Multiple intelligences and help them realize that other intelligences , other than the ones schools measure are very important. I maintain that Interpersonal intelligence is one of the most important ones. You need to be able to get along with people in your personal life as well as at work to be successful. I worry most about my students when they have poor people skills. INtrapersonal intelligence is also very important. I help my students to get to know their strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes so that hey can use that information when they have to make choices about the future careers, vacations, friends- really everything. At school everything is about reading, writing and arithmetic. In life it about relationships at home, work and play at least the way I seeit.
