Module Overview
Originated by Prof. Viktorija Radotic
Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including as one’s capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, planning, creativity, and problem solving. It can be more generally described as the ability or inclination to perceive information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied when adapting to new or challenging situations. Within the discipline of psychology, various approaches to human intelligence have been adopted. The psychometric approach is especially familiar to the general public, as well as being the most researched and by far the most widely used in practical settings. In this module we look at what intelligence is and how we can develop our capacity for self-awareness in this area.
