Competence and incompetence: Relationship with diversity and individuality

The terms "competent" and "incompetent" are used to evaluate

an individual's abilities and intelligence, but they are based on subjective judgments and are not defined by objective indicators.

Competence includes various elements such as intelligence, knowledge, skills, and experience, but the definition of competent will change depending on which element is emphasized.

for example,

Some people consider people with high academic ability to be competent;
Some people consider people with good practical skills to be competent.

It is also necessary to distinguish between competencies in specific fields and competencies that are generally required.

for example,

People who excel in mathematics will be evaluated as competent

in the field of mathematics, but
If your communication skills are poor, you may not be evaluated

as ****competent in general.

In this way, competent and incompetent are determined by

comprehensively evaluating various factors, and cannot be defined

in a general manner.

Individuality and diversity are important concepts when considering competence and incompetence.

Personality refers to the unique characteristics that each person has. Ability is also a part of individuality, and each person has different abilities.

Diversity means recognizing different differences. It is important that different people have different abilities.

If we view the terms "competent" and "incompetent" as fixed concepts, it may hinder respect for individuality and understanding of diversity.

The important thing is to evaluate each person's abilities from multiple perspectives** and to respect each person's individuality**.

Ability is not something you are born with, but can be developed through effort.

Everyone has high potential.

By respecting individuality and understanding diversity, it is important to create a society where all people can express their individuality and maximize their abilities.

 

Ability to grow and not grow

Some abilities are innate and some are acquired.

Innate abilities include

intelligence
physical ability
sensory ability

And so on.

These abilities are determined to some extent by genetics and environment.

However, it is also possible to develop it through acquired efforts.

Abilities that can be acquired include:

knowledge
Skill
experience

And so on.

These abilities can be developed through learning and experience.

Generally, abilities that can be acquired are called abilities that develop.

The ability to grow is

academic ability
Exercise capacity
artistic ability
communication ability

And so on.

These abilities can be greatly developed with proper instruction and practice.

On the other hand, innate ability is sometimes referred to as ability that cannot be developed.

However, it is possible to increase it to some extent with effort.

for example,

Intelligence can be developed through learning and experience.

Physical abilities can be improved through training.

Sensory abilities can be developed through training.

There are individual differences in the growth of ability.

It is natural that the same ability will develop in different ways depending on the person.

The important thing is to evaluate your abilities objectively, without underestimating or overestimating them.

And continue to make efforts to improve your abilities.

Effort always leads to results.

If you keep trying and don't give up, you can develop any ability.
