The living world always amazes us with many different features. Some are simple while some of them are very complex, but these features differentiate them from non-living. Today we are going to talk about one of the features which are present in almost all living beings, the character which decides why are you reading this blog and what is the next thing that you will be doing. Yes, we are going to discuss Intelligence.
From the past intelligence has always been one of the complex themes. Theories have always been controversial about intelligence as we can’t measure intelligence. So, is the accurate measurement of intelligence possible? This argument is still active. British psychologist Charles Spearman introduced the concept of general intelligence, in which according to him, we can measure the value of intelligence and demonstrate it in numbers.
Some say it is the behavior of capability of learning skills, knowledge, and applying it. It includes logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, reasoning, planning, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Every individual differs in their understanding, learning, and their experience. So, we can say everyone has a different kind of intelligence.
Intelligence is present in every living organism, some have simple while others have very complex intelligence like us humans.
Intelligence in computer devices is known as artificial intelligence.
From our school time, there has been a trend going that those who learn most of the syllabus are the most intelligent kids in the school. Is this true? No, not fully as learning and intelligence have a connection but they are not the same. Intelligence differs from learning as Learning is the ability to retain data and information while intelligence is the ability to perform all these processes by encompassing many aspects of intellectual function.
Debates are going on whether intelligence is hereditary or environment-based. Let's have a look: If intelligence is only hereditary then that means you can’t develop any of your skills or any kind of reasoning is that true?
Coming to the second case, is intelligence only environment influenced? The answer is 'No’. So we can say that intelligence is affected by both of these, there is the influence of the genes on your intelligence, and you can also increase your intelligence.
Now, we must ask ourselves, are humans the only ones who show intelligence? “No”! A bacteria attacking its host, an amoeba engulfing food have intelligence.
Intelligence is one of the most controversial topics that remains from the very past, and it remains the same, but there are theories, observations, and some experiments which reveal some drops of the vast ocean of intelligence.
