INTELLIGENCE, INTUITION AND CREATIVITY

1. Theory of intelligence  

This online book of the Global Cognitive Theory is dedicated to the various concepts or definitions of intelligence and intelligence as a knowledge manager:

• I have tried to define the different forms of its internal workings from the preconcepts and automatic responses to the responses generated by logic and the system of language. The organization criterion chosen is the degree of reliability associated with the response of intelligence when its system faces a problem or requirement.

• An approach to creativity, in the sense of creativity being formed by complex functions or packets of basic functions of intelligence that support certain complex abilities of the brain.

• The next step is to speculate on the physiological structure that is most apt to execute the required functions, its genetic nature and, as a consequence, the way in which intelligence is transmitted to following generations.

• The coherence of the proposals of this theory of intelligence need an additional element, evolutionary psychology or the way in which intelligence grows and develops. It seems slightly complicated that it develops and improves its efficiency through random mutations.

After the previous comments, we should have a better understanding of the different concepts of the word intelligence, particularly about terms used for relational intelligence and conditional intelligence.

The section of related links includes the four online books of the Global Cognitive Theory:

• The brain and modern computers.
• Intelligence, intuition and creativity.
• Memory, language and other brain abilities.
• The will, decision making process and artificial intelligence.

Another related link is referred to the online book of the Global Theory of the Conditional Evolution of Life.

There is also a link to the on-line book of the Global Scientific Method and the philosophy of science. It includes the design of new scientific methods and the classification of the stages and steps of the scientific method; understanding the scientific method in the broad sense as the application of logic to the generation of common knowledge with a high level of reliability.

The scientific method works fine in general, but it works much better in its developmental phase than in its phase of general acceptance. All types of social interests affect the last phase, from the realm of sociology as in the case of Darwin’s theory, to the technician nature as in the case of the Theory of Relativity.

The last item of the related links is The EDI Study about Evolution and Design of Intelligence, a complete statistical survey on the heritability of intelligence performed on the fieldwork database of the Young Adulthood Study, 1939-1967

This statistical study is an empirical research about some considerations of the Global Cognitive Theory related with the brain and evolution, in particular the definition of intelligence.

The results of the statistical survey The EDI Study regarding an elegant intelligence show some important considerations:

• The hereditary nature of relational intelligence is confirmed.

• The genetic information with less intellectual potential is the significant one, as the GTCEL states regarding the concept of conditional intelligence.

• Likewise, it seems that the main functions of intelligence, or those evolving faster, are fairly concentrated in only one chromosome.

• The most innovative element of this work on cognitive psychology is undoubtedly the section relating to simulation. This section contains the explanation of how the artificial intelligence quotient vectors are generated by using the previsions of the new theory of evolution; they practically behave like the variables that were actually observed, in despite of the intrinsic complexity involved.

• As if that were not enough, with the due caution this subject deserves, the existence of a finalistic or teleological evolution is scientifically proven to agree with that indicated by the General Theory of Conditional Evolution of Life.

Given that the current results in this book suggest a fairly radical change from the common opinions held by the majority of the scientific community and society, the logical deduction is that more extensive studies on cognitive psychology using the same methodology need to be performed.

An example of further exploration of this study is found in the section that has been added subsequently, which is related to partner choice and intelligence. In this section a hypothesis regarding a concrete requisite of the acceptable limit of the difference in intelligence when forming a couple, is confirmed and simultaneously reinforces the model's overall coherence. In fact, the requirement refers to the unconscious choice of an unknown intelligence for current cognitive psychology.
