Without standardized tests and college degrees, how do you recognize intelligence and aptitude?

<p>In my family (eight kids) all of us have some level of dyslexia. Standardized tests are hard. Some of us fought our way through college. Others are succeeding in the trades.</p> <p>But all of us have been misjudged as not being bright, put in the "slow" class and overlooked.In talking to Chris Cloud we both wondered if there was a better way to decide who would be good at a specific job. </p> <p>Francisco "Frank" Galindo, MBA and Paula Jenkins, MBA joined us for this conversation that doesn't have an easy answer.</p> <p>We barely touched the surface of a topic that needs A LOT more discussion.</p> <p>If we are using homogeneous judging methods we are going to end up with a homogeneous group; which we know is not ideal.</p> <p>How might others best recognize your skills and abilities without using degrees, certificates or tests?</p> <p>Connect with the panelists: Francisco "Frank" Galindo: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankgalindo-mba/  Paula Jenkins, MBA: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulajenkinslfsconsulting/ Chris Cloud: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ccloud/  Dr Robyn Odegaard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/</p> <p>Want a summary of the five Quick Hits I post every week, plus the links to the LinkedIn pages of each of the panelist to show up in your in-box every week?
