Intelligence

## Summary

Intelligence is a word that is incredibly difficult to define, as it has been used to refer to many things, such as one's ability to process information, or their capacity for logic, self-awareness, creativity, reasoning, and/or problem solving, or their knowledge and memory. In its fullest definition, intelligence can be said to encompass all these things, which makes it incredibly difficult to quantify in versus debating terms, as many individuals may have plentiful ability in one area, such as knowledge, and also be lacking entirely in another, such as planning, emotional intelligence, or creativity.

## Intelligence Levels

**Mindless |** Those few beings that have no capacity for intelligence at all. Although some characters without a mind can be considered for this rating, one should assess the actions performed by said characters to see if they truly have no way of thinking. Those with a mind can also be considered for this rating if they can not display any form of thought.

**Instinctive |** Beings that are incapable or virtually incapable of conscious thought, and merely carry out simple pre-programmed behaviour patterns. For example, Snails, jellyfish. microorganisms, fungi, and individual insects.

**Animalistic |** Beings, such as most animals, that only possess very basic reasoning, awareness, and problem-solving skills.

**Extraordinary Animal |** Highly intelligent animals that can use tools or have comparable problem-solving feats. For example, dolphins, chimpanzees, and certain crows and octopi.

**Below Average |** Characters of below average intellects and unremarkable skills.

**Average |** Characters of average intelligence. While they have more developed intelligence in certain subjects, in many cases, their overall intelligence remains average.

**Above Average |** Characters that show greater cognitive ability than the norm, but do not particularly stand out in any intellectual or academic fields.

**Smart |** Character that shows rationality and mature thinking. Outstanding intellectually and academically more than usual.

**Gifted |** Characters who demonstrate high reasoning ability, can master difficult concepts with few repetitions, and display high performance capability or notable mastery in intellectual or specific academic fields, which makes them equivalent to real-world experts in these areas.

**Genius |** Individuals with an exceptional capacity for knowledge and intelligence, usually in one area of varying depth. This level of intellect is the level of real-world geniuses, polymaths, and genuinely extremely prominent intellectuals, and, in the absence of better feats, should be the default intelligence category for fictional characters with exceptional or superhuman intelligence.

**Super Genius |** Individuals whose knowledge spreads over multiple fields of science and who vastly surpass the real world's upper human limits. At this level, many are capable of creating extremely advanced futuristic technology, executing complex strategies even under high pressure, outperforming supercomputers[1], and even accurately predicting the future through sheer mental calculations. This is where super scientists of exceptional scientific knowledge begin to appear.

**Extreme Genius |** The highest level of non-omniscient intellect, possessed by individuals with unfathomably superhuman intelligence who are capable of creating impossibly advanced physics-defying and reality-warping fantasy technology for extremely diverse purposes.

**Nigh-Omnicient |** Characters who have knowledge of nearly everything, with only minuscule gaps existing in their knowledge.

**Omnicient |** Characters who know literally everything. Be aware that even if they may know everything in their own setting that this does not grant them knowledge of beings from outside of it.
