## Resume

Intelligence is a difficult concept to define, since it is often used to define many things **.** A simple definition describes it as the faculty of the mind that allows us to learn, understand, reason, make decisions and form a specific idea of ​​reality, the ability to generate new information by combining what we receive from the outside with what we have in our memory. It is a general capacity that involves several factors, especially abstract thinking directed towards problem solving. Explaining it more fully, intelligence encompasses all of the things mentioned above along with the capacity for logic, self-awareness, creativity, knowledge, and memory.

Rather than attempting to reliably quantify intelligence, pages should reflect that intelligence has many facets and, when describing the intelligence of characters, specifically detail their areas of strength while acknowledging any intellectual deficiencies they may have. Characters who have average knowledge in general can be mentioned, while being quite smart and even geniuses in certain subjects: For example, there are characters who, despite having little knowledge or skill in most other areas, are artists. prodigal skill martial.

### **I.Q**

An **intelligence quotient** (abbreviated **CI** , or **IQ** in English) is a scientific attempt to qualify the intelligence of people in real life through tests. It's a common occurrence in fiction for authors to give their characters certain levels of IQ, often exceptionally high, and while some scientists believe that IQ holds true in real life, it's a very poor measure in fiction. An author can give a character as ridiculously high an IQ as they want, whether it's over 200, 314, 5,000, or even 10^30, but without feats, these numbers are meaningless, they just act as confirmation that the character is a lot. smarter than a common person.

Even if that wasn't the case, since different works give their characters different ratings, they're completely useless for comparing intelligence between them. This is without getting into the fact that many scientists consider IQ a poor judge of intelligence for the same reasons that intelligence is so difficult to quantify rather than debate.

## Suggested Levels

There is no way to reliably quantify intelligence, and even these rankings are just suggestions for pages. It's more important for a page to discuss a character's intelligence and provide feats for their different abilities than for having a solid ranking, though it can help quickly summarize their overall intellects and how they stack up against others.

**Mindless:** Characters who literally have no mind and have no intelligence ability at all.

**Animalesque:** Beings like animals, possessing only basic reasoning, awareness, and problem-solving skills. While various animals, such as chimpanzees, may possess greater capacities for such things, their intelligence will remain animalistic.

**Below Average:** Characters with below average intellects and unremarkable abilities.

**Average:** Characters of average intelligence. Although they have more developed intelligence in certain subjects, in many cases, their general intelligence is still average.

**Above Average:** Characters who display higher than average cognitive ability, but do not particularly excel in any intellectual or academic field.

**High:** Characters with considerable cognitive capacity, standing out in at least one intellectual or academic field.

**Prodigy:** Characters who demonstrate strong reasoning ability, can master concepts with few iterations, and display high-performance ability in specific intellectual, creative, or academic fields.

**Genius :** Individuals with an exceptional capacity for knowledge and intelligence, usually in an area of ​​varying depth, often possessed by scientists and strategists. This level of intelligence is the level of real geniuses and famous intellectuals in the real world and, rather than better feats, should be the default intelligence category for fictional characters treated as having exceptional or superhuman intelligence.

**Extraordinary Genius:** Individuals whose knowledge spans many fields of science and far exceeds the intellects of the most intelligent humans on Earth. At this level, many are capable of creating futuristic technology, executing complex strategies even under high pressure, and potentially even accurately predicting the future through mental calculations or super computers. This is where super scientists of exceptional scientific knowledge begin to appear.

**Super Geniuse:** The highest level of non-omniscient intellect, possessed by those individuals with superhuman intelligence and who generally have extensive command of most or all branches of science. Characters of such scale tend to be super scientists capable of creating incredibly advanced fantasy technology that defies physics and warps reality, even using only household items, and outsmarting even other extremely intelligent people. Super geniuses can often easily process calculations beyond the combined capabilities of modern humanity alone, and can quickly come up with extremely complex plans.

**nigh Omniscience :** Characters who have knowledge of almost everything, with only minuscule gaps in their knowledge.

**Omniscience :** Characters who literally know absolutely everything. It must be noted that even if they can know everything in their own environment, this does not grant them knowledge of external beings.
