Mental self-management. Theory of intellectual styles and their development

Abstract

To date, there is a large amount of literature on general intelligence and multiple intelligences. There are many samples that measure this dymenia, but data on mind management up to this point in which I read the article had not reached me. They were not interested in the first lines yet, so I decided to write a report on it.

According to the author, intelligence depends on both external and internal causes. The external causes are the social reality, the prerequisites in which a person is realized, and the internal ones from the general intelligence and personality features. Data on the subject can be found in the works of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau. Intelligence management is about how we orient it and what we use it for. The fact that several individuals are placed in the same environment does not mean that they will handle their crystallized intelligence in the same way. On the contrary, man's understandings, his desires and peculiarities will prompt him in one way or another to use his intelligence by his own methods. Exactly this is depicted by the example of the three roommates who have the same level of abilities, but are carried out in different areas of life. Mental self-management is defined as purpose, configuration, level, range, and aspiration.
