Essential Task 8 -2: Outline • • • General intelligence Triarchic theory Crystallized vs. fluid intelligence Multiple intelligences Emotional intelligence
General Intelligence • Theorist: Charles Spearman (1904) • Also called g factor • According to Spearman, this g factor was responsible for overall performance on mental ability tests.
General Intelligence • How did he prove it? Spearman used factor analysis to find correlations among tests of different cognitive tasks. • Technical definition: The g factor is a variable that summarizes positive correlations among different cognitive tasks, reflecting the fact that an individual's performance at one type of cognitive task tends to be comparable to his or her performance at other kinds of cognitive tasks. • Huh? If you are good at intelligent you will be good at many things.
Triarchic theory • Theorirst – Robert J. Sternberg (1985) • More of a cognitive look at intelligence rather than a psychometric focus. • Sternberg’s theory of intelligence is made up of three parts – Analytic – Creative – Practical
Triarchic Theory: Analytic • Academic problem solving skills • similar to the standard psychometric definition of intelligence e. g. as measured by Academic problem solving: analogies and puzzles, and corresponds to his earlier componential intelligence. • Sternberg considers this reflects how an individual relates to his internal world.
Triarchic Theory: Creative • insights, synthesis and the ability to react to novel situations and stimuli. • Sternberg considers this the Experiential aspect of intelligence and reflects how an individual connects the internal world to external reality.
Triarchic Theory: Practical Intelligence • (a) adaptation to the environment in order to have goals met • (b) changing the environment in order to have goals met • (c) or, if (a) and (b) don't work moving to a new environment In which goals can be met • People with this type of intelligence can adapt to, or shape their environment.
Crystallized vs. Fluid Intelligence • Theorist: R. B. Cattell (1971) • Identified two clusters of mental abilities – Crystallized intelligence one’s lifetime of intellectual achievement, as demonstrated largely through one's vocabulary and general knowledge – Fluid intelligence the capacity to think logically and solve problems in novel situations, independent of acquired knowledge. • Crystalized intelligence increases with age while fluid intelligence decreases in old age.
Multiple Intelligences • Theorist: Howard Gardner – 1980 s • the extent to which humans possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways, “ • 9 Intelligences
Multiple Intelligences • 1. Naturalist Intelligence (“Nature Smart”) • 2. Musical Intelligence (“Musical Smart”) • 3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence (Number/Reasoning Smart) • 4. Existential Intelligence (Phil Smart) • 5. Interpersonal Intelligence (People Smart”) • 6. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (“Body Smart”) • 7. Linguistic Intelligence (Word Smart) • 8. Intra-personal Intelligence (Self Smart”) • 9. Spatial Intelligence (“Picture Smart”)
HISTORICAL OVERVIEW • 1990 – Salovey & Mayer coin term “emotional intelligence • “it is an intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action. ” • 1995 - Daniel Goleman publishes “Emotional Intelligence. ”
GOLMAN’S THEORY • THE BRAIN HAS EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE – Limbic structures generate feelings & emotions – Reptilian brain downshift as the amygdala performs “neural hijacking”
COMPONENTS OF E. I. • Self-Awareness • Self-Management or trustworthiness • Motivation or resilience • Empathy or recognizing emotions in others • Social skills or handling relationships
COMPONENTS OF E. I. • FIRST THREE ARE PERSONAL – SELF-AWARENESS – SELF-REGULATION – MOTIVATION • LAST TWO ARE SOCIAL – EMPATHY – SOCIAL SKILL
SELF-AWARENESS • “THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE AND UNDERSTAND YOUR MOODS, EMOTIONS, AND DRIVES, AS WELL AS THEIR EFFECTS ON OTHERS • Do I know how I’m coming off in this situation?
SELF-REGULATION • “THE ABILITY TO CONTROL OR REDIRECT DISRUPTING IMPULSES AND MOODS OR THE ABILITY TO SUSPEND JUDGMENT TO THINK BEFORE ACTING. ” • Can I stop the R brain downshifting?
SELF-REGULATION • ABILITY TO RELAX • ABILITY TO MANAGE STRESS • ABILITY TO CONTROL MOODS • ABILITY TO RECOVER FROM EMOTIONAL UPSET MORE QUICKLY • ABILITY TO EMPLOY THE 6 SECOND PAUSE
SELF-REGULATION • PEOPLE WHO SELF-REGULATE – CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF TRUST AND FAIRNESS – REDUCE EMOTIONAL REACTIVITY IN ENVIRONMENT
MOTIVATION • “A PASSION TO WORK FOR REASONS THAT GO BEYOND MONEY OR STATUS” • JOB CAPABILITIES – Achievement drive – Commitment – Initiative – Optimism
EMPATHY • “THE ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONAL MAKE-UP OF OTHER PEOPLE. ”
EMPATHY • ABILITY TO TAKE OTHER’S PERSPECTIVE • CARING ATTITUDE • CAN BETTER READ VERBAL & NONVERBAL CUES • ATTUNED TO NEEDS & EMOTIONS OF OTHERS
EMPATHY • EMPATHY BUILDS ON SELFAWARENESS. • THE MORE OPEN WE ARE TO OUR OWN EMOTIONS, THE MORE SKILLED WE ARE IN READING OTHERS’ EMOTIONS
SOCIAL SKILLS • “PROFICIENCY IN MANAGING RELATIONSHIPS AND BUILDING NETWORKS. ” • Using your empathetic knowledge
ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENTS • Work Profile Questionnaire—EI Version • Emotional Competence Inventory 360 • Emotional Intelligence Appraisal • Bar. On Emotional Quotient Inventory • Mayer-Salovey-Caruso-EI Test
