The way our cerebral hemispheres function determines our intellectual performance and the way we explore the world. Are you an orderly and analytical person, or rather a spontaneous artist? Answer the questions by marking the answer that best suits you.
Even in the 1980s, intelligence was reduced to purely intellectual abilities. Currently, it is believed that intelligence understood in this way interacts with abilities in the emotional, motivational and interpersonal sphere. The interaction of various abilities from various spheres of the human psyche allows the use of intellectual potential. Therefore, today the term "intelligence" is used more broadly. The most common types of it are:
- cognitive (or abstract) intelligence - concerns natural and artificial systems. It comes down to such mental skills as the ability to analyze and synthesize information that can be captured in the form of signs, and to use the acquired knowledge for one's own purposes. In practice, it includes the ability to associate facts, carry out simple linguistic transformations, and perform logical operations. This intelligence can be programmed, expanded and also measured with special tests.
- verbal intelligence - ability to formulate statements, find words quickly and accurately, understand spoken or written text well.
- emotional intelligence - mainly consists in the ability to deal with your emotions, to name them, and to notice and influence the emotions of others. It is related to such mental skills as empathy and assertiveness. An ideal emotionally intelligent person is open to new experiences, can show feelings adequately to the situation (laugh, but also get angry), easily connects with other people, copes well with stress, can refuse, realistically assesses his own and others' achievements, is not afraid criticism and risk.
- social intelligence - related to emotional intelligence, the ability to adapt to and influence the human social environment.
- creative intelligence - the ability to generate new concepts or their unexpected combinations. Creative intelligence cannot be measured, but there is no doubt that people are differenther level.
This test does not give psychometrically correct information about the level of someone's intelligence and its type. It is only a psycho fun.
