Intelligence Measurement

Intelligence has been defined in many ways:

• the capacity for abstraction
• Capacity for pattern recognition
• logic
• understanding
• self-awareness
• learning - ability to learn fast
• reading - ability to read effectively 10x better than average readers
• reasoning
• planning
• critical thinking
• problem-solving.
• Numeracy - subset of reasoning applied to basic counting and up to quick assessment of feasibility
• mechanisms and algorithms - understanding patterns of how things work
• Visualization - capacity to manipulate 3D objects in one's mind
• Orders of magnitude - understanding quantities in the large sense. Ex. How big is a grain of sand, how much does a container ship weigh, size of universe - and undersanding the magnitude readily to within factor of 10. This is essential numeracy that allows one to assess basic feasibility to free oneself of social and political manipulation.
• Nonlinearity - understanding or exponential growth and quantum phenomena

Not to mention very specific non-rational knowledge, treated separately due to the greater importance of these:

• Emotional Intelligence
• Moral Intelligence
• Negotiation - applied Emotional Intelligence combined with Divergent Thinking
• Creativity - simply Divergent Thinking
