Document Summary
Intelligence in everyday life intelligence involves more than just a particular fixed set of characteristics. Many diff models of intelligence, not all have same components laypersons and experts agree on three clusters of intelligence: problem-solving ability, verbal ability, social competence. Iq: intelligence quotion, standardized measure of your intelligence and how you compare to others. Genius: someone with an above average iq. Plasticity: (range of ability modification) interindividual variability (adults differ in direction of intellectual development) Mechanics of intelligence: neurophysiological architecture, brain, wiring, messages, transition, underlying parts, how quickly ppl respond to things, how signal gets through, process things, solve problems, age-related decline. Pragmatics of intelligence: acquired bodies of knowledge embedded in culture, practical thinking things you gather and learn through experience over time. Mechanics: content poor, universal, biological, genetically predisposed, fluid, speed. Measuring intelligence as a score or scores on a standardized tests focus is on getting correct answers.
