It is problem solving skills and the ability to adapt to and learn from life"s everyday experiences. It cannot be measured directly; it can be evaluated by studying the intelligent acts that people perform. There is more than one definition of intelligence the western definitions seem to emphasize adaptation to the environment, basic mental processes, higher order thinking and the speed of processing. However, some cultures may be suspicious of the quality of work that is done very quickly. Hence, they would emphasize the depth of processing rather than the speed of the processing. Confucian perspective emphasizes the characteristics of benevolence and of doing what is right. The intelligent person spends a great deal of effort in learning, enjoys learning and persists in life long learning. Taoist perspective emphasizes humility, freedom from conventional standards of judgment, and full knowledge of oneself as well as of external conditions.
