Study Notes
Human Intelligence
Definition
- Human intelligence refers to the mental abilities necessary for adapting to the environment, learning from experience, and using knowledge to solve problems.
Types of Intelligence
- Fluid Intelligence: The ability to reason, think abstractly, and solve novel problems.
- Crystallized Intelligence: The ability to use learned knowledge and experience to solve problems.
Theories of Intelligence
-
Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory: Proposes that there are multiple types of intelligence, including:
- Linguistic
- Logical-mathematical
- Spatial
- Bodily-kinesthetic
- Musical
- Interpersonal
- Intrapersonal
- Naturalistic
-
Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of Intelligence: Proposes that intelligence consists of:
- Analytical intelligence (academic problem-solving)
- Creative intelligence (generating novel solutions)
- Practical intelligence (applying knowledge in real-world situations)
Measuring Intelligence
- Intelligence Quotient (IQ): A score that represents an individual's cognitive abilities, usually measured through standardized tests such as Stanford-Binet or Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS).
- IQ Scores: Typically follow a normal distribution, with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
