When a child performs well in their subjects, first mark in class, the child is known to be an intelligent child. But what is the definition of intelligence? A child’s scores in exams determine whether the child is intelligent or not. The truth is that the highest grade doesn\u2019t determine the level of intelligence in a student. There are different factors that determine intelligence in individuals, and marks are one of the factors, not the only factor. The marks in the type of test also matter to determine whether the child is intelligent or not. In school, most of the exams are about learning the concepts and answering the questions asked. The children need to have good memory capacity to remember what they have learned to write in the exam. Does this determine intelligence in a student?<\/p>\n

The definition of intelligence, according to the American Psychological Association, is Intelligence is the ability to derive information, learn from experience, adapt to the environment, understand, and correctly utilize thought and reason. Different definitions of intelligence were highlighted. For example, 1921 American psychologist Lewis Terman defined intelligence as the ability to think abstractly, whereas Edward Thorndike defined it as the ability to learn and give a valid response to questions. In recent days, the definition has been more focused on adapting to the environment, which is an important part of understanding intelligence.<\/p>\n

Adaptation occurs in different settings: home, school, social circle, family, strangers, etc. For example, a student in school adapts himself to learn and gain knowledge that is needed in his academics. Adaptation is making the change that is required in oneself to cope with and manage the environment. The situation and the environment keep changing. Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences. The theory states that intelligence is comprised of different abilities like linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, musical, bodily kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and natural.<\/p>\n
