Classification of intelligence

 


The human brain is considered to be a very fascinating and powerful tool. The study of brain functions is considered by psychology. Intelligence or intellect is considered to be the comprehensive sum of a person's ability to learn, study, innovate, and solve problems. The study of intelligence is essential in the field of education, as it is used to monitor the academic progress of students and to prepare appropriate lesson plans for learning.


Classifications of intelligence:


Categories              IQ(Intelligence)


Genius                       140 and above

Highly intelligent         130 to 139

Intelligent                       120 to 129

Above average               110 to 119

Average                              99 to 99

Slow learner                     80 to 89

Stupid                                  70 to 79

Stupid                                    60 to 69

Dumb                                     30 to 59

Precocious                            29 or less


Formula for determining intelligence:


Intelligence formula: IQ=MA ×100

                                             CA

Physical age: CA=MA ×100

                                IQ


Mental age: MA=IQ×CA

                                  100


Types of Intelligence Tests:

Intelligence test is a test that measures the intelligence of a child. To what extent his behavior is targeted and evaluated is called intelligence test.


It is generally divided into two types.


  • Individual Intelligence Test:

  • Group Intelligence Test


Intelligence plays a very important role in human society. An individual's intelligence is related to his wisdom, determination and creativity. But sometimes, when the intelligence is not enough to handle certain challenges, good public intelligence is needed. For this reason, two important aspects of individual and collective intelligence are developed.


Individual Intelligence Test:

Individual intelligence includes individual analysis, management skills, logical thinking, research spirit and autonomous decisions. Each person has his own unique form of intelligence. These are obtained from the person's experience, education, environment and life lessons.

Individual intelligence helps a person to emerge in art, science, literature and many creative fields. For example, Einstein or Dr. Kalam of the Aadhutan era have made significant contributions to the world through their individual intelligence. Such individuals develop new inventions and theories from their inner intelligence.

In fact, individuals with high individual intelligence can provide good answers to many problems. But sometimes, they are recognized within their own scope of vision, because it may necessarily be limited to their experience and understanding.


Collective Intelligence (Group Test):

Collective intelligence is the collective intelligence of a group or community. It is when members of a team, organization or community think together. Collective intelligence can help in solving complex problems effectively, because many sharp minds work together.

For example: When engineers, economists, management experts, and technologists discuss a big project, their collective intelligence results in a better plan. Social media, Wikipedia, and open source projects are good examples of collective intelligence.

Collective intelligence is born of cooperation, communication and mutual respect. This intelligence involves more energy in decisions and provides a broader perspective. But sometimes, the problem of groupthink can be a hindrance to collective intelligence, as everyone thinks the same way, which has a negative impact on creativity.

Coordination of the two intelligences:

The coordination of individual and collective intelligence is found to be the most effective. The individual intelligence of each person is most useful in a group, and when all the intelligences are used together, it enhances the potential of the group. Education, business, science, government, etc., give good results when this coordination is used. Individual intelligence helps in coming up with new ideas, but collective intelligence helps in implementing them. Due to this, together with both intelligences, excellence, cooperation and development are possible in our society. Intelligence is a very important part of the inner power of a human being. It is a combination of logical thinking, the ability to determine what is there and creativity. Intelligence helps in bringing growth, success and prosperity in an individual's life. Now, the demand for intelligence is increasing in all fields including science, technology, education, business, administration and literature. Individual intelligence strengthens the inner growth of an individual. It helps an individual to face the difficulties of life and grow within himself. Similarly, collective intelligence promotes cooperation, unity and mutual respect in a group, providing better solutions.

Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory

                              Jean Piaget Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, is widely known for his pioneering work in child development. His Cognitive Development Theory explains how children construct a mental model of the world around them and how their thinking processes develop through various stages. Piaget believed that cognitive development in children occurs in a series of stages that are universal and follow a specific order. He emphasized that children are not passive learners but active participants in the learning process, constructing knowledge through their experiences. Key Concepts of Piaget's Theory Before exploring the stages, it's essential to understand some key concepts in Piaget’s theory: Schemas: Schemas are basic mental structures or frameworks that help individuals organize and interpret information. They are like building blocks of knowledge. F...

Kohlberg's stages of moral development

Image
                                       Kohlberg Lawrence Kohlberg, a famous American psychologist, described the stages of moral development of an individual. Using his studies, he made important contributions to moral development. Kohlberg developed his own perspective, incorporating the ideas of Jean Piaget. Kohlberg divided moral development into three main stages and each of these into two substages, which can be divided into six stages in total. 1. Pre-constitutive Stage: During this stage, children's morality is probably shaped by rewards and punishments. They evaluate their behavior by external consequences. Stage 1: Punishment and Subordination: During this stage, children behave in a way that is not necessarily dictated by rules. They quickly judge the purity of behavior by its effectiveness. For example, "I can't do this because punishment is a test." Stage 2: Personal gain and ...

Assessment for Learning and Assessment for Education: Principles and Needs

Image
  Assessment for Learning and Assessment for Education: Principles and Needs In education, “Assessment” is essential to measure any progress and success, to identify appropriate outcomes externally and to assess student learning ability. Both the concepts of “Assessment for Learning” and “Assessment for Education” can lead to effective learning in the field of education. In this blog, we will discuss their considerations, differences and their importance in the current education system. Assessment for Learning: “Assessment for Education” is often called “Summative Assessment”. It is a concept of need used to measure student learning at the end of a sentence or after a specific period of time. In this, the conditions are usually intended to measure the student’s achievement. For example, final exams, final projects, and individual or group presentations. Assessment for Education provides additional responsibilities to students, as it motivates them to achieve better results. It prov...
