Chess playing is often cited as the paradigm example of intelligent behavior in humans, and a great deal of work has been done in trying to understand just how people do play chess successfully. Early on, this problem of playing chess became a challenge to computer scientists.
However, some common characteristics of intelligent behavior include: 1. Adaptability: Intelligent individuals can quickly adjust to new situations and learn from experiences. 2. Problem-solving skills: They are capable of identifying problems and finding solutions that are effective and efficient.
Some psychologists believe that the ability to listen to another person, to empathize with, and to understand their point of view is one of the highest forms of intelligent behavior.
Psychologists believe that listening to others, empathizing and understanding differing points of views is one of the highest forms of intelligent behavior.
In general, intelligence is an emergent property of a system that arises from complex interactions between elements in the system. Any intelligent behavior displayed should be implicit, i.e. grounded in the element interactions, rather than an explicit goal or rule.
Let us go back to the four core features of behaviour that characterise intelligence, namely generality, flexibility, goal-directedness and adaptivity.
Sternberg's theory identifies three types of intelligence: practical, creative, and analytical.
According to the triarchic theory, intelligence has three aspects: analytical, creative, and practical (Sternberg, 1985).
Highly intelligent people are usually highly rational, even when they are also emotionally intense. They enjoy finding solutions to big problems and are aware of their deep potentials. However, they are often misunderstood. Being different, they are often scapegoated.
Robert Sternberg developed another theory of intelligence, which he titled the triarchic theory of intelligence because it sees intelligence as comprised of three parts (Sternberg, 1988): practical, creative, and analytical intelligence (Figure 7.12).
The seven primary mental abilities in Thurstone's model were verbal comprehension, word fluency, number facility, spatial visualization, associative memory, perceptual speed, and reasoning.
These disciplines include human intelligence HUMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), imagery intelligence (IMINT), measurement and signatures intelligence (MASINT), and open source intelligence (OSINT).
The eight types of intelligence described by Gardner include: musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalistic. In 2009, he also suggested two additional types of intelligence, namely, existential and moral.
Any Intelligent system has three major components of intelligence, one is Comparison, two is Computation and three is Cognition. These three C's in the process of any intelligent action is a sequential process.
The triarchic theory describes three distinct types of intelligence that a person can possess. Sternberg calls these three types practical intelligence, creative intelligence, and analytical intelligence.
This post explains, in very basic terms, these six key drivers: altruism, hedonism, homophily, memetics, narcissism and tribalism.
Truly intelligent people are naturally curious. They can't get enough of learning, they chase knowledge and genuinely enjoy learning new skills. They often learn new things and new skills just out of curiosity, even when they know they don't need those skills for their career or for any other purpose.
Here are the signs of smart people:
They don't talk as much as you do, because they know they got smart by listening. They know lots of things other than what they're specialised in. Theirs is the gift of a broad mind, constantly fed with the stimulant of being interested in what everyone else is doing.
Emotional intelligence is an awareness of your actions and feelings – and how they affect those around you. It also means that you value others, listen to their wants and needs, and are able to empathize or identify with them on many different levels.
