4. Difference between
intelligence and academic
excellence analysis, he reports that being intelligent
necessarily does not show in the academic
performance of an individual and therefore,
brilliance is not a measure of intelligence. The Triachic theory of intelligenceRobert Sternberg Primary mental ability intelligence
theory- Louis L. Thurstone
The psychologist, Louis L. Thurstone came
up with the primary mental ability
intelligence theory. Using the approach, he
explores seven different abilities of the
mind, and these are verbal comprehension,
spatial visualization, associative memory,
numerical ability, reasoning, fluency of
word as well as perceptual speed. These
abilities he explained are the most relevant
and should be used to determine the level of
intelligence for anyone, including children.
In the article, “Are you smart, or smart
enough?” by Leon F. Seltzer, the impact of
these mental abilities are analyzed. After the Robert came up with a report in which he
categorized intelligence into three
categories. First, the analytical abilities that
enable a particular person to solve the
problems that are in their environment. The
second type is the creative intelligence
which is the capacity and ability to
experience new circumstances where they
apply their experiences in the past as well as
the skills they have to overcome the
situation. In the article, “Intelligence, sleep,
and school achievement” by Joseph A.
Buckhalt helps to explore the tragic theory
of intelligence. The author studies a group of
children and their sleeping patterns. He also
explores their achievement in school. The
findings show that intelligence is higher for
children that had long hours of sleep. Measuring intelligence function
To measure intelligence, it is important to
consider some factors. These are as
discussed below. One, the reasoning capacity of an individual. The ability to
make the right choice when presented with a
given situation can be used to show the
reasoning capacity of an individual. Those
that respond appropriately could be highly
intelligent while those that do not respond as
anticipated are of little intelligence. The
second measure of intelligence is the
analytical abilities of an individual. The
analytical capabilities enable an individual
to identify the existing problems in a
situation and give the right solution to
overcome these challenges.
Difference between intelligence and
academic excellence
Life is comprised of many factors.
Some of these include academics and while
others require wisdom as to make the right
choices. Intelligence helps an individual to
reason and analyze different situations and
then make the best choice out of it. On the
other hand, academic intelligence only
enables people to solve academic problems
but fail when it comes to matters relating to
life decisions. References
