Walsh iv, Hughes 6

I found the seven 'intelligences' to be interesting...although, I don't think you can stick one person in just one category. Someone might be good with numbers and good at drawing which would put them in logical-mathematical and spatial intelligences'. I like the point that a personality evolves within the individuals culture.

Also, how child copes with difficult situations will decide how they will deal with a personality trait. And, a child may often feel pressure to get into a certain field because their parents did.

The three stages of diagnosing shamans were interesting:devilization: seeing a shaman as doing evil, being demonic, medicalization: from a psychiatric point of view, being simply disturbed, not evil, and idealization: the vision that they are not demons or disturbed. A round of enthusiasts seeing them as spiritual masters.
