It is said that when Mozart heard sounds he perceived them as colours, and that when music played, rainbows streamed across his vision.

Narrative intelligence is the ability to recognise patterns common in fiction and to apply them to other kinds of information such as that found in science, politics and the media. In other words, a narratively intelligent person makes sense of the world by noting the story-like quality of ideas and events that feature elements such as a hero, a villain, a problem, help, knowledge and power and an objective. Take a topic currently in the news and try mapping these narrative elements on to the story.
