Visual-spatial is the first of the eight different types of intelligence I aim to highlight in my new body of work. It is a person's ability to perceive, analyse and understand visual information in the world around them.

Elon Musk, in 2021, said "It's easier to put a man on Mars than to change the school system."

Imagine a world where children are psychometrically tested at the outset of their education, discovering in which of the eight (some say nine) types of intelligence their strengths lie.

Imagine teaching those children based on these discoveries. We learn so easily what we are innately adept in.

Imagine the successful, fulfilling, happy lives those kids could lead if they knew their true vocation early on.

Imagine telling the kids who love solving puzzles, running around mazes and playing with jigsaws,

"Your strength is visual-spatial intelligence. One day you might grow up to be an engineer, an architect, a pilot, an artist. That's the sort of career you might love."

Imagine.

Invented in ’74 by Ernö Rubik, it has been widely reported that his intention was to help his students understand 3D objects. In fact, it’s real purpose was to solve the structural problem of moving the parts independently without the mechanism falling apart.

It has 43 quintillion combinations and took Ernö a month to solve.

There have been 350 million Rubik’s cubes sold to date according to Google.
