  MSN Encarta - Intelligence
Intelligence draws on a variety of mental processes, including memory, learning, perception, decision-making, thinking, and reasoning.
Most intelligence researchers define intelligence as what is measured by intelligence tests, but some scholars argue that this definition is inadequate and that intelligence is whatever abilities are valued by one’s culture.
In recent years, a number of theorists have argued that standard intelligence tests measure only a portion of the human abilities that could be considered aspects of intelligence.

 Great Ideas in Personality--Intelligence
Binet founded the French school of intelligence, in which intelligence tests were regarded as a practical means of separating the bright from the dull.
Intelligence quotient (IQ) was regarded as simply an average of numerous dissimilar abilities, not as a real thing with definite properties that could be studied.
Galton founded the English school of intelligence, in which it was believed that intelligence is a real faculty with a biological basis and could be studied using reaction times on simple cognitive tasks.

 Human Intelligence: New and Emerging Theories of Intelligence
Successful intelligence is defined as that set of mental abilities used to achieve one's goals in life, given a socio-cultural context, through adaptation to, selection of, and shaping of environments.
Practical Intelligence is the ability to size up a situation well, to be able to determine how to achieve goals, to display awareness to the world around you, and to display interest in the world at large (Sternberg, 1990; Sternberg et al., 2000; Wagner, 2000).
Emotional intelligence, on the other hand, "is a type of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use the information to guide one's thinking and actions" (Mayer and Salovey, 1993, p.

 Intelligence
“Intelligence” is in quotes because it is a fraught subject for technical and political reasons, raising issues of its nature, how it is tested, and the uses of results.
Intelligence is meant to be a generalised measure of overall ability, or potential ability: its proponents claim that it is getting at an underlying feature which is independent of specific skill development or learning achievement.
There is considerable debate over the hereditary component in intelligence, and the picture is getting more complicated all the time, but at least one school believes that intelligence can largely be identified with "problem-solving skills" or even forms of pattern recognition and that as such it can be taught.

 Educational Psychology Interactive: Intelligence
Sternberg hypothesizes that intelligence relates to, and is demonstrated in, three different aspects: (1) the internal world of information processing, (2) experience and past learning, and (3) the external world of adapting to, shaping and selecting real-world environments.
Intelligence is demonstrated in two complimentary ways: a person's ability to deal with novelty or new aspects on one's environment and how quickly one make new information processing automatic.
Intelligence is not only one's ability to adapt to one's environment; it also includes changing that environment or selecting a new one.

Intelligence is our capacity to create patterns of response that actually work.
Furthermore, the intelligence we apply can be merely clever or it can be wise (more or less).
It can also be more or less in tune with the patterns and intelligences around it -- including larger forms of intelligence that function in and beyond the natural world.

But he also has a lifelong passion for the mysteries of the brain, and he's convinced that artificial intelligence theorists are misguided in focusing on the limits of computational power rather than on the nature of human thought.
"Intelligence" is defined by Hawkins as "the capacity of the brain to predict the future by analogy to the past." And the first necessity on the way to building an intelligent machine is to understand how the human brain actually works, a subject to which he devotes most of his book.
The primary point of the book is the presentation of a general intelligence theory based on scientific study of the human brain for the purposes of moving forward the basic scientific principles behind the creation of intelligent machines.

The former intelligence official went on, “One of the reasons I left was my sense that they were using the intelligence from the C.I.A. and other agencies only when it fit their agenda.
Some former intelligence officials believe that Shulsky and his superiors were captives of their own convictions, and were merely deceiving themselves.

 Negroponte Unveils Intelligence Strategy
A senior intelligence official, who appeared with Negroponte at a briefing for reporters but asked not to be identified, said the democracy mission statement does not describe such covert operations but only outlines collection and analysis of so-called soft power intelligence in contrast to the threat-based intelligence that has been emphasized in the past.
The public release of the intelligence strategy "shows Congress and the public our commitment to building an intelligence community that is more unified, coordinated and effective," Negroponte told reporters at the briefing.
The senior intelligence official said that though U.S. human intelligence collection will increase, "we have a lot more to harvest with allies," and that both approaches will be used.

 t r u t h o u t - William Rivers Pitt | Blair-Powell UN Report Written by Student
The British report states that the Iraqi intelligence agency is "spying on foreign embassies in Iraq." The al-Marashi essay's version states that the Iraqi intelligence agency is "monitoring foreign embassies in Iraq." The rhetorical leap from "monitoring" to "spying" is evident.
An analysis of the footnotes for the al-Marashi essay clearly demonstrate that his work was meant to describe Iraq's intelligence apparatus and military situation in the 1990s.
The fact remains, however, that the British intelligence data, which comes from the most steadfast ally of the Bush administration, has been severely undermined by this report.

Although he 'canonizes' two additional intelligences, naturalistic and existential, he feels that what is more important is how people make use of MI to carry out daily tasks prized in the culture.
