INTELLIGENCE

   INTELLIGENCE

 

Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including as one's capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, planning, creativity and problem solving.

The ability to learn facts and skills and apply them.

• THURSTON- intellegence is both general ability and a number of specific abilities.  
• STAGNER- intelligence is the learning ability and the ability to see new situation.
• FIELDMAN - intelligence in the general capacity of person to adjust consciously  his thinking to a new requirement.

HUMAN INTELLIGENCE

• ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE                                                                                                                                          

 THEORIES OF INTELLIGENCE     

       

HOWARD GARDNER   MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE           

                    VERBAL-LINGUISTIC INTELLIGENCE

involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals. This intelligence includes the ability to effectively use language to express oneself rhetorically or poetically; and language as a means to remember information. Writers, poets, lawyers and speakers are among those that Howard Gardner sees as having high linguistic intelligence.

MATHEMATICAL INTELLIGENCE

consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically. In Howard Gardner’s words, it entails the ability to detect patterns, reason deductively and think logically. This intelligence is most often associated with scientific and mathematical thinking.

MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE

involves skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns. It encompasses the capacity to recognize and compose musical pitches, tones, and rhythms. According to Howard Gardner musical intelligence runs in an almost structural parallel to linguistic intelligence

VISUAL-SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE 

involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.

BODILY-KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCE

 entails the potential of using one’s whole body or parts of the body to solve problems. It is the ability to use mental abilities to coordinate bodily movements. Howard Gardner sees mental and physical activity as related.

INTERPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE 

is concerned with the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people. It allows people to work effectively with others. Educators, salespeople, religious and political leaders and counselors all need a well-developed interpersonal intelligence.

INTRAPERSONAL INTELLIGENCE

 entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one’s feelings, fears and motivations. In Howard Gardner’s view it involves having an effective working model of ourselves, and to be able to use such information to regulate our lives.

NATURALIST INTELLIGENCE

enables human beings to recognize, categorize and draw upon certain features of the environment. It ‘combines a description of the core ability with a characterization of the role that many cultures value

EXISTENTIAL INTELLIGENCE

 a concern with ‘ultimate issues’, is, thus, the next possibility that Howard Gardner considers – and he argues that it ‘scores reasonably well on the criteria

SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE

 is far more complex. According to Howard Gardner (1999: 59) there are problems, for example, around the ‘content’ of spiritual intelligence, its privileged but unsubstantiated claims with regard to truth value, ‘and the need for it to be partially identified through its effect on other people’. As a result:

MORAL   INTELLIGENCE       

In his exploration, he begins by asking whether it is possible to delineate the ‘moral domain                                                                                                                              

 ROBERT STENBERG  TRIARCHIC THEORY OF INTELLIGENCE

1. COMPONENTIAL- the ability assessed by intelligence test.

2.EXPERIMENTAL- the ability to adopt to new situations and to                                              produce new ideas

3.COTEXTUAL- the ability to function effectively in daily situation.

4.PRACTICAL- related to overall success in living rather than                                          intelligence in academic performance.       

    EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

1.Facilitating emotions

2.Perceiving emotions

3.Understanding emotions

4.Managing emotions            

• Charles Spear man Fluid Intelligence                                       -is the ability to deal with the new problem and situation.It is also the ability to draw inferences and understand the various concepts, independent on acquire knowledge.
• Crystallized Intelligence                                                              -this is the store of information, skills and strategies what people have acquire through their experiences and the use of fluid intelligence.       

My reflection- every individuals have different intelligence....some are auditory ....and other are visual......
