Answer:
Explanation:In the article “Blue-Collar Brilliance” Mike Rose states that we as a society solely base intelligence on grades and tests but from his various experiences and observations he states that the line of blue-collar work can often require more mental activity than they are credited for. This is because of the conditions that apply to the blue-collar line of work such as cost-effectiveness, productivity, efficiency, problem-solving skills, communication, and much more. Along with the most important condition when it comes to working, time. Blue-collar workers have to be quick on their feet, Rose says, so they can use their cognitive skills quickly and effectively to complete their job. These tasks became muscle memory with experience, they were learned by observation, trial and error, and, physical or verbal assistance from a co-worker or trainer. Roses states that formal education is not the only way to attain intelligence and that we as a society have to come to realize that intelligence is diverse.
