WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE ?

There are several ways by which you can judget the intelligence levels in an individual. Therefore there are several definitions of intelligences. like

  • The act or state of knowing; the exercise of the understanding.
  • The capacity to know or understand; readiness of comprehension; the intellect, as a gift or an endowment.
  • Information communicated; news; notice; advice.
  • Acquaintance; intercourse; familiarity.
  • Knowledge imparted or acquired, whether by study, research, or experience; general information.
  • An intelligent being or spirit; -- generally applied to pure spirits; as, a created intelligence.

TYPES ON INTELLIGENCE


Verbal Intelligence

The ability of brain to know the vocabulary and to generate the relation between them.

e.g.
a dog is to puppy and a cat is to ___________________
a logical answer would be kitten.

Now the brain has gathered the same relation between a dog to that of a puppy and search the vocabulary to fit the best suited answer in the black which carries the same relation.

Numerical Intelligence

The ability of brain to play with alphabets and numbers

e.g.
what should be the next number in the series 2, 4, 6, 8, ___
a logical answer would be10.

Now the brain has understood the sequence of the odd numbers and generated the next number in the sequence.

Engineering Intelligence

The ability of brain to manipulate space and dimensions in our mind. The ability to fit spaces in appropriate places.

The above three intelligences that are most commonly tested in the IQ tests but these are not all, in fact there are other types of intelligences which are more of those that complies with the personality and intellect of an individual.

Creative Intelligence

It is also known as perceptional intelligence. This could further be defined as the “giant universe in side the brain which creates all the possible answers and solutions”. This is the ability of mind to link colors, spaces, dimension which does not normally link together thus create new and unusual ideas. It is the capability of brain to make unusual connections.

e.g.
When a simple “pick the odd man out” test was given to a girl of 6th grade.
To pick the odd man out from earth, pale moon, sun and lemon. She crossed the earth. When inquired about this unusual selection. In most of the cases the obvious choice was to be that of lemon because it was not the object of universe like other three. The girl replied that the earth was the only object she found “blue”.

Her brain created a different picture out of it. This is known as creative intelligence. An unusual answer which is based upon concrete logic but entirely different to that of a normal opinion.

Inter-personal Intelligence

The ability of brain to relate with all other brains. Or the ability of brain to contact with all other intelligences and to communicate with them.

This is perhaps the most important of all. This intelligence is prominently responsible for the relationships that you have with other people.

Intra=personal Intelligence

The ability of brain to know who you really are fundamentally. In can also be defined as the ability to know your personality under you supervised control. It is talking with your self intelligently.

Sensual Intelligence

It is the ability of the brain to exercise all the senses superbly well about your self. This is the ability of the senses to take in all the information and process them intelligently.

Bodily Kinesthetic Talismanic Intelligence

It is the ability to predict the probable out put of massive calculations in a split second and to decide the action in response to them.

e.g.
Crossing a busy street without crossing is a perfect example.
While crossing the road, an individual looks to his side and observes the liver and pulley based objects (humans), vehicles of different masses, dimensions, colors and material approaching him at varied velocities. Now, in a split second his brain captures all, calculate the probable output as what will reach approach him when and where; and then take the step ahead or wait at place or to step back. And then between cars, cycles and other small to big vehicles the individual crosses the road mostly without even a single brose on his body.

This is a massive calculation of post Newtonian and post Einsteinian levels but the brain calculates it in split second. No computer can calculate the calculation of that complexity and massive data till date. The biggest evidence is that no such computer has been engineered till date that could cross any busy street with this proficiency.

Spiritual Intelligence

It is the ability of brain that involves an individual to live in harmony in relation to its environment. It is a very gentle but very strong intelligence.

Genius Qoutient

It is also known as the intelligence of intelligences. The combination of all intelligences as when to apply which at what occasion.
