Intelligence is a relative term, and there is no concrete definition of the word. However, according to the conventions of psychology, there are some common types of intelligence, which can be classified.
In most of the dictionaries and encyclopedias, ‘intelligence’ is defined as mental ability which allows the individual to perceive, retain and practice the knowledge to which he/she is exposed. However, this is a vague and ambiguous term. Intelligence differs from person to person, and no one on the earth is qualified to judge how intelligent another person is. This is a purely psychological phenomenon, which compels us to give people labels like ‘smart, ‘intelligent’, etc. A person who is considered intelligent by one person may not be considered to someone else who has apparent greater mental prowess. However, there are some broad generalization that have been arrived at after extensive study that has been conducted by www.newspsychology.com, which allows us to classify intelligence. Our research works are working on psychological issues to solve them with better solution.
