II.   Mind (PSY)

Intellect, also known as “comprehension” and “intelligence”, is one (1) of the seven (7) primary classes of properties of Mind and describes the faculties of judgment, abstraction, reasoning, discernment and conceptual understanding of the internal, external and other dimensions. The word “Intellect” also defines these faculties collectively as an object itself and a person who possesses such skills to a higher degree.

The word Intellect is derived from the Latin word intellectus meaning “to perceive, understand, realize”. The ancient Greek equivalent word is "nous".

There are Twelve (12) Primary Faculties of Intellect, or Intelligence being Sensism, Athleticism, Mathematicism, Pragmatism, Collaborationism ,Altruism, Abstractionism, Conceptualism, Hierarchism, Grammatism, Constructionism and Illusionism:

(i) Sensism is the Intelligence of utilizing the senses to detect greater information and empathy from the environment and others; and

(ii) Athleticism is the Intelligence of proprioception (kinesthetic sense) whereby one has a high ability to sense and move the relative parts of the body in sometimes complex technical movements; and

(iii) Mathematicism is the Intelligence of mathematical proficiency and ability to solve various levels of mathematical complexity; and

(iv) Pragmatism is the Intelligence and ability to effectively implement decisions and take actions that are useful in practice, not simply theory; and

(v) Collaborationism is the intelligence of working with others and empowering them to utilize their skills to the best of their abilities; and

(vi) Altruism is the Intelligence of helping, protecting, nurturing the needs of others through ideas, models and actions greater than one’s self; and

(vii) Abstractionism is the Intelligence of observing, analyzing and solving problems associated with complex shapes.

(viii) Conceptualism is the intelligence of being able to conceptualize complex environments, images and interactions.

(ix) Hierarchism is the intelligence of information process and analysis to produce ordered architectures based on hierarchies and classifications such as systems of logic and ordered argument; and

(x) Grammatism is the Intelligence of the use of linguistics form, rules and usage to communicate effectively to others of the species; and

(xi) Constructionism is the Intelligence of de-constructing or constructing a series of steps or actions and the ability to repeat such steps with a high precision of accuracy.

(xii) Illusionism is the Intelligence of bringing to life creative inspiration as well as the ability to mimic others, settings and environments.

The Twelve (12) Forms of Intelligence may be divided into “General Intelligence” and “Higher Intelligence” according to whether a member of a higher order life form is naturally borne with a degree of Intelligence or whether it is a skill that must be acquired through education.

Of the Twelve (12) Forms of Intelligence, six (6) may be defined as General Intelligences and skills possessed by higher order species such as mammals being: Sensism, Athleticism, Mathematicism, Pragmatism, Collaborationism and Altruism.

Of the Twelve (12) Forms of Intelligence, six (6) may be defined as Higher Intelligences that must be acquired through education being: Abstractionism, Conceptualism, Hierarchism, Grammatism, Constructionism, and Illusionism.

Higher order life forms such as Homo sapiens are normally borne with a predisposition and natural talent towards at least two (2) General Intelligences and at least one (1) Higher Intelligence.

All members of the Homo Sapien species possessing physically unimpaired apparatus of mind have the ability to develop all Twelve (12) Forms of Intelligence.

General Intelligence Quotient, or “IQ” is a score derived from a valid testing system that reflects the twelve (12) types of intelligences and is constructed using a median score set to one hundred (100). A testing system that does not incorporate the testing of all twelve (12) types of intelligences cannot be regarded as producing a valid General Intelligence Quotient.

A Specialized Intelligence Quotient, or “sIQ” is a score derived from a valid testing system that reflects one (1) of the twelve (12) types of intelligences and is constructed using a median score set to one hundred (100).

An Aggregate Intelligence Quotient, or “aIQ” is a score derived from a valid testing system that reflects at least three (3) and less than twelve (12) types of intelligences and is constructed using a median score set to one hundred (100).
