Dynamic Intelligence

Hello friends.

I had an email exchange with Roger yesterday and he asked me to post it to the forum.
Roger's website, the one I am refering to in the mail, is here:

Roger,
I've been marveling and cogniting on your Success Formula from your Ability Consultants website yesterday and today.





I've looked at it before but yesterday I was on a Clean Slating spree of the word "intelligence" and was reminded of it.

This is a real vital knowledge you formulated, Roger!

I used it today to analyze one of my projects that is not succeeding the way it could (and should). Falshoods and Impediments popped to view and I was able to see how it all stopped the Abilities, Learning/Knowledge and Drive out of the project. And I immediately started writing down ways to address the impediments and falsehoods.

As to my Clean Slating of the word intelligence, I ended up formulating a definition of (Dynamic) Intelligence.
It's not perfect but it works for me much better than the standard dictionary definitions.

What say you? Would you add something, remove or change something?
I appreciate your feedback very much:
Quote
(Dynamic) Intelligence
the ability to clearly perceive and distinguish differences, similarities, and samenesses, to recognize patterns and understand compositions, contexts, and relations, to estimate value, significance, truthfulness, and reliability — and then to learn from the observations and apply this knowledge with the required purposeful intensity to adapt to new, unresolved, or persistent conditions of existence, to envision, plan, and implement effective solutions to problems — and thereby create wanted change, achieve goals, shape one’s environment, and enhance the availability and quality of future options.
Most definitions are static. On a second thought, it's more of an essay rather than a definition. :-)
It covers many aspects of Intelligence and is dynamic and feels (almost) complete for me.
And by the way, with this definition I was able to make more use of your formula above.

Would love hearing some input from you on this.

Have a great afternoon!
Christian

Mate, this is quite brilliant and wonderful! Please post it along with my response to the forum! 

Your comment:

"It covers many aspects of Intelligence and is dynamic and feels (almost) complete for me.
"And by the way, with this definition I was able to make more use of your formula above."

Your comment is exact and complete . . . This, because we are addressing a Dynamic Intelligence.
Most definitions in Dictionaries simply address static simple conditions, not living, changing conditions. But then most people, particularly those in professional academia, are stuck reduced to limited fixed conditions. 

What we are addressing here is LIVE, LIFE! It is an evolving and changing state of affairs.
Roger




I am still having wins on my Clean Slate and the situation I was addressing. 
Roger, thank you for the wonderful acknowlegment and recognition. Makes it even more real to me  :D

All the best everybody,
Christian

Brilliant mate!

Can I copy and paste it in my Glossary of Terms?

As I catch it, intelligence is more an ability than a quality and you described in it the points we could use to get a better result. Using our precise perception, analysing and evaluating all the data we recollected from it, and now adding the Roger's Success Formula (thanks for putting my attention on this again), we now have more precise tools to make our dreams and actuality.

Worth putting into practice right now!!!

Hello Jorge,
I'm glad you like this concept and definition of Dynamic Intelligence.

I am still working on it a little bit and will post an update in a few days.
In itself this definition works very good as is.
What I am going to add is another dimension (or layer) of dynamic application of intelligence. Beyond mere problem solving.

The current statement says: "... — and then to learn from the observations and apply this knowledge with the needed purposeful intensity to adapt to new, unresolved, or persistent conditions of existence, ..."

This is good and valid, but there is another dimension intelligence (and the things from the beginning of the definition statement) can be applied to: "... — and then to learn from the observations and apply this knowledge with the needed purposeful intensity to adapt to new, unresolved, or persistent conditions of existence, or to apply in creative, artistic, philosophical, technical, engineering, or scientific exploration or aspirations —"

We often see intelligence as a mere "problem solving" faculty. But it dawned on me that intelligence at the beginning was used for exploration, too and to follow our dreams and aspirations. We might have split off from the heavens to solve the problem of boredom (that's application to a negative/unwanted), but the positive want and drive (or aspiration) was to explore other options!
Therefore I am adding this layer of pursuing dreams, creating beauty, discovering truth, inventing technologies and engineering, and exploring possibilities to the definition of dynamic intelligence. Both: the handling of unwanteds and the pursuit of wanteds, by use of intelligence, result in envisioned change and improved conditions and options.

I am still working on the definition. While it's solid and working as is, there are still some little nuances I want to include. As said, this is more an essay now, rather than a definition. :-)
But honestly, even when it's getting a bit longer I don't feel it's too long or hard to read. The sequence of the definition is deliberately chosen, starting with perception, discernment, estimation/evaluation, going over to learning and retaining knowledge and finally purposeful application with the right amount of intensity/effort and at the end naming the WHATFOR.

Thank you Jorge, and again, I'm glad it is something you find useful, even worth putting in your glossary! Just please be a bit patient  [hat] 

For me: I am still blowing so many misconceptions, some even not directly related to intelligence but still somewhat linked. It's like I am rebooting my "operating system".  ;D

And with the rise of Computer Learning we have to compete with the so called "artificial intelligence". The main factor that is different is we are living, dreaming, aspiring, spiritual beings who can truly be present, perceive, envision... machines only can perform sophisticated circuits and programm commands. But with the use of intelligence we can put the machines to work so they serve us -- and not the other way around!  :D

Have a great day!
Christian

Yes!
I printed out Roger's Formula and gave it Sabine to "think" with and I had a lenghty debate with her step-father (he is a great card player, won many local tournaments).
I talked with him about what definition of intelligence he's using when playing cards and then I talked with him about Roger's "Success Formula". He cognited a lot and while talking about it he came up with many examples of what is what in card playing (e.g. what the impediments are, falshoods).
He specifically asked me if Knowledge is an inner source of Empowerment, which I affirmed. "Yes, of course, one of the most important sources of Empowerment is the quality of Knowledge, not mere collection of data". But we looked at other sources of Empowernment too. It was a great talk.
I enjoy having deep conversations.

I've been reading a bit more on Roger's site tonight and I found this great article on intelligence:
https://www.abilityconsultants.com/intelligence/

I might have read it before, but I don't really remember. But it could very well be as I've been on this site often in the past. But it seems my definition above was heavily inspired by this article and when I was clean slating Intelligence and began to get the full picture of the concept it all came together.

But now after reading it (like for the first time, in a new, independent unit of time) I understand why Roger wanted me to share our exchange!
 
Especially the last part (bold emphasis by me) is very close to what I included in the definition. 

Quote
If an executive is to star and to personally survive in this current age of extreme change, and if he or she is to lead his or her team and discharge his or her corporate responsibility in a winning fashion in these times and in the new age, then he or she must have his or her faculty of intelligence operating optimally. He or she must be able to perceive and learn, must be able to evaluate importance and discern applicability, and must be able to envision, plan, and implement the application of this knowledge.

But honestly, I don't remember whether or not I've read it. But I tend to say yes. I was just not ready to grok it when I first read it and it "clicked" when I clean slated the term.  :D

I thought I should share... I just found and read the article. 

Best regards,
Christian

Thanks mate!

Good catch!
Roger's site has brilliant articles, just revealed for truth seekers  ;)
