Intelligence Models - Alec Van Gelder

1. Emotional Intelligence

   • Emotional intelligence helps you understand your own emotions that come up in your mind all the time as well as helps you understand and read other people's emotions. It also helps you act on your emotions and how to handle them when they take over your mind. "Regulating your moods, resisting impulses and temptations, and controlling your behaviors are all important components of EI." ( Garson 2019, Pg. 317). EI also has a huge impact on our personal relationships and how we interact with people.

       • "The ability of individuals to recognize their feelings and those of others for motivation and management of emotions for themselves and their relationship with others" (Erik Triitsch 2021, Pg.1)
         • Self-Awarness
           • self-awareness is the ability of an individual to know the current mood and its reasons. It enables individuals to understand their strengths and weaknesses and process the effect of moods, emotions, and drives in other people. (Erik Triitsch 2021, Pg.2)

         • Modivation

         • Self-Regulation
           • The ability to control unexpected or disruptive emotions or impulses by maintaining a positive outlook even when situations do not go as planned. It helps prevent spontaneous judgment. (Erik Triitsch 2021, Pg.3)
             • Since I am younger still I think I am more adaptable to listening to other people's opinions and views and the ability to change my mind.

2. General intelligence

   • "General intelligence is the single, common factor that contributes to performance on any intellectual task." (Garson 2019, Pg. 314). General intelligence usually leads to high IQ test scores. It is responsible for your writing ability, math ability, drawing ability, and problem-solving ability. It affects your performance and abilities in work and school. People with high general intelligence generally have greater knowledge of health-related things and it can help them live longer.
     • General Intelligence - Alec Van Gelder
       • "Spearman concluded that there is a single g-factor that represents an individual’s general intelligence across multiple abilities, and that a second factor, s, refers to an individual’s specific ability in one particular area" (Charlotte Ruhl 2020, Pg.2)
         • Mechanical
           • problem solving ability
             • I Feel I love working with things that are more hands-on and I like to work out problems.
         • Spatial
           • Drawing/ Creative ability

3. Fluid & Crystalized

   • General intelligence is theorized two have two different parts, Fluid & Crystalized. Fluid is described as "information processing, especially in novel or complex circumstances, such as reasoning, drawing analogies, and thinking quickly and flexibly." (Garson 2019, Pg. 315). Crystallizes Intelligence is described as "knowledge gained through experiences, such as vocabulary and spelling, and cultural information, and use this knowledge to problem solve." (Garson 2019, Pg. 315).

4. Triarchic Theroy

   • Robert Sternberg was the psychologist who came up with this theory in 1999. It stated that "intelligence is split into three parts in the brain creative thinking, analytical thinking, and, practical thinking." (Garson 2019, Pg.317) Analytical intelligence is problem-solving, completing analogies, and figuring out puzzles. Practical intelligence is your everyday tasks, like your judgment things and how you interact with other people. Creative intelligence is how you solve novel problems and what your mind dreams about and how you express it.

5. Multiple Inteligences

   • "The idea that people have many different types of intelligence that are independent of one another." (Garson 2019, Pg. 316) The theory is broken up into 7 different categories. spatial, mathematical/logical, bodily-kinesthetics, linguistic, musical, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. Gardener's theory is special because shows that people can have major differences in some of the aspects but yet have outstanding intelligence in others. it shows that all people will have some deficiencies but that everyone is unique and special.
