WHAT IS INTELLIGENCE?
Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget would have described intelligence as the thinking ability that helps a person solve problems and adapt to his/her environment. But this definition does not include many other abilities and qualities that most of us would use to describe intelligence. Intelligence could also mean the ability to do abstract thinking, to carry out our plans, or to think logically; it also might mean everything that a person has learned in his/hers lifetime.
Before 1960, some people believed that, for the most part, intelligence was innate or inborn. In other words, either you were born smart or you weren’t and nothing could change that. More recently, scientists have begun to look at how a person’s environment might influence the development of intelligence.
The other main issue in understanding intelligence is how to measure it. Two of the main abilities that have been measured in IQ (intelligence quotient) tests are verbal comprehension (understanding words) and the ability to think with and about numbers. IQ tests also measure other parts of intelligence such as general thinking ability, vocabulary, memory, and spatial ability, i.e. the ability to figure out thing in space (for example, someone who is good with maps and directions probably has a lot of spatial ability). However, other abilities often connected with intelligence, such as creativity, artistic and musical talent, social skills, and regular common sense, are often not included on standard IQ tests.
