Understanding Your Intellectual Abilities
Intelligence
Human intelligence is the intellectual capability of humans, which is marked by complex cognitive feats and high levels of motivation and self-awareness.
Cognitive
Intelligence humans posses the cognitive abilities to learn, form concepts, understand, apply logic and reason including the capacities to recognize patterns, plan, innovate, solve problems, make decisions, retain information, and use language to communicate.
Measured?
There are conflicting ideas about how intelligence is measured, ranging from the idea that intelligence is fixed upon birth, or that it is malleable and can change depending on an individual's mindset and efforts.
Subcategories
Several subcategories of intelligence, such as emotional intelligence or social intelligence, are heavily debated as to whether they are traditional forms of intelligence. They are generally thought to be distinct processes that occur, though there is speculation that they tie into traditional intelligence more than previously suspected.
