Intelligence is not the only gift needed, not a panacea for all evils. I tend to consider myself quite a lot intelligent (not that this means more than I do possess some sort of self esimation) and, because I'm intelligent I acknowledge my limits (e.g. I do not have any damn sense of rythm :-/) and look for solutions: eg to pay a teacher that is able to identify and tell me my errors and to provide examples to be followed! Intelligence has nothing to do with the inner sense of rythm, yes my intelligence tells me to listen a lot of music, my intelligence tells me to study more this than that, but intelligence cant give me a gift I dont' have, only time persevrance and application can, maybe, mend my lack of rythm
In conclusion my opinion is intelligence has nothing to do with being self-teached
bye, uliano
PS I'm self teached in a huge lot of things, form math to rock climbing
