When we split into groups it seems that most of the groups interpreted "x intelligence" as an ability to understand knowledge through "x" means.  So for my group, musical intelligence, we talked about understanding material through music or rhythm.  I was thinking about it this weekend and wouldn't musical intelligence be more like having a real talent for music, just as picture smart might manifest itself through an ability for art or composition?  But, if intelligence is the affinity for a skill, isn't it ability?  We touched on the idea that there might be a difference between intelligence and ability, but I'm not sure what the main difference is (maybe something about one being inborn...but it feels like both are...).  Then again, maybe there is no difference...
