knowledge through the story telling of an infographic. The “What is Career and Technical Education?” infographic drew me in with the calming variations of green color, and specific to the point details without all the added unnecessary information.

For instance, a savant that discerns numbers different than the average human, and uses those numbers to connect with others is an unconventional show of intelligence. And there are even infographics that people design, and dedicate time and effort into, showing their thoughts on intelligence.
