Play it, Einstein

In his biography of Einstein, Walter Isaacson writes that Einstein often turned to his violin when challenged in his work: 'He would often play the violin in his kitchen late at night, improvising melodies while he pondered complex problems. Then suddenly, in the middle of the playing he would announce excitedly, "I've got it!" As if by inspiration, the answer to the problem would have come to him in the midst of the music'. This suggest that Einstein's mental processing power relied on the dynamic nature of intelligence, or how intelligence is expressed in many different forms, such as analytical, creative or emotional intelligence, or combinations thereof.
