Intelligence

## Summary

* **Intelligence**: 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 Quotients**: **IQ** is a scientific number representing a person's reasoning ability as compared to the statistical norm or average for their age, taken as 100.

* **Photographic Memory**: The ability to recall a past scene in detail with great accuracy.

* **Eidetic Memory**: The ability to vividly recall an image you are exposed to, but only briefly.

## 8 Types of Intelligence

* **Spatial Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to successfully perceive and derive insight from visual data. This cognitive process is known as an aptitude for understanding visual information in the real and abstract word as well as an innate ability to envision information. People with this spatial ability can usually create effective images that explain concepts and design prototypes that incorporate spatial reasoning.
* **Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to solve problems or create products using the body or parts. It is the intelligence of strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, dexterity, movement, expression, and body language.
* **Musical-Rhythmic Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to detect and create rhythmic patterns formed through instruments, voice, and the environment.
* **Linguistic Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to understand and use spoken and written language. This can include expressing yourself effectively through speech or the written word as well as showing a facility for learning foreign tongues.
* **Logical-Mathematical Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to use numbers correctly and reason are essential elements in the field of study and the workplace.
* **Interpersonal Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to understand and interact effectively with others.
* **Intrapersonal Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to understand oneself and one's thoughts and feelings, and to use such knowledge in planning and directing one's life.
* **Naturalistic Intelligence**:
	+ The ability to identify, classify and manipulate elements of the environment, objects, animals or plants.

## Intelligence Scale

There is no way to reliably quantify intelligence, and even these rankings are just suggestions and guidelines for pages. It is more important that a page discusses a character's intelligence and gives feats for their varying skills than have a solid ranking, although it may help with quickly summarizing their overall intellects and how they measure up to others.

### Non-Sentient Intellect (Mindless)

* Beings that have no capacity for intelligence at all.

### Low Animalistic (Instinctive)

* Beings that are incapable or virtually incapable of conscious thought, and merely carry out simple pre-programmed behavior 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.

### High Animalistic

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

### 1st Level Intellect (Below Average)

* Beings of below average intellects and unremarkable skills.

### 2nd Level Intellect (Average)

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

### 3rd Level Intellect (Above Average)

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

### 4th Level Intellect (Gifted)

* Beings who demonstrate high reasoning ability, can master difficult concepts with few repetitions, and display high performance capability or notable mastery in an intellectual or specific academic field.

### 5th Level Intellect (Exceptionally Bright)

* Beings with who are capable of having a very high reasoning ability, can master very difficult concepts, and display very high performance capability or notable mastery in two intellectual or specific academic fields.

### 6th Level Intellect (Genius)

* Beings with an extraordinary capacity for knowledge and intelligence, usually in 2 or more areas of varying depth. This level of intellect is the level of geniuses, polymaths, and genuinely advanced prominent intellectuals.

### 7th Level Intellect (Extraordinary Genius)

* Beings with an extraordinary capacity for knowledge and intelligence, usually in several areas of varying depth. This level of intellect is the level of enhanced geniuses, polymaths, and genuinely extremely advanced prominent intellectuals.

### 8th Level Intellect (Super Genius)

* Beings whose knowledge spreads over multiple fields of science and who vastly surpass the upper superhuman and alien limits. At this level, many are capable of creating extremely advanced futuristic technology, executing complex strategies even under high pressure, outperforming supercomputers, and even accurately predicting the future through sheer mental calculations. This is where super scientists of exceptional scientific knowledge begin to appear.

### 9th Level Intellect (Enhanced Super Genius)

* Beings whose knowledge spreads over all fields of science and vastly surpass Super Geniuses.

### 10th Level Intellect (Super Intelligence)

* Beings whose knowledge spreads over everything.

### 11th Level Intellect (Advance Super Intelligence)

* Being are glaringly, obviously, and super/unnaturally more intelligent than other beings in their universe because their mental capabilities and applications are pushed beyond the unnatural level.

### 12th Level Intellect (Transcended Intelligence)

* Beings that have powers and capabilities are so advanced that they can easily be confused for deities by other beings.

### 13th Level Intellect (Absolute Intelligence)

* The highest level of non-omniscient intellect, possessed by individuals with unfathomably supernatural intelligence who are capable of creating impossibly advanced physics-defying and reality-warping technology for extremely diverse purposes.
* A being that has a continuously increasing intellect which can grow and adapt without any apparent limit. Their intellect increases every moment and allows them to solve difficult problems given they have the time to have their intellect increase to a sufficient level for necessary comprehension.

### Omniscient Level Intellect

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

### Note

A character may have more than one intelligence rank if the statistic varies depending on the area. This means that they can reach exceptional levels in some respects, but be unimpressive in others.
