Understanding Psychology & Intelligence
Creative intelligence enables people to see old things in new ways from different angles, or perceive the “art of the possible.”
Innovativeness is a state of mind. Creative Intelligence (CI) requires a certain degree of independence and mental balance, the proper psychological level of inner drive, positive attitude, and genuine autonomy. The mind with creative intelligence has the ability to figure out better ways to do things, but not for winning a small battle of ego. Creative intelligence can be viewed from multiple perspectives:
Cognitive Psychology: This perspective studies the mental processes, such as representation of information and speed of processing, that constitute intelligence. Cognitive theories assume that more intelligent individuals represent information more clearly and operate on it faster.
Cognitivism and Contextualism: This combined approach studies the interaction between the environment and mental processes, recognizing that intelligence is not isolated but operates within a context.
Psychological Measurement (Psychometrics): This approach focuses on individual differences in test scores to understand intelligence. However, fair assessments require understanding the underlying processes of intelligence to avoid misleading conclusions.
Biological Science: This field considers the neural bases of intelligence.
-Computational Aesthetics and Creativity: Computational aesthetics, often classified as a subfield of AI, explores aesthetics through machines, while computational creativity addresses creativity exhibited by machines. These fields can involve mathematicians, engineers, psychologists, and philosophers.
-Systems Approach: This perspective considers the relationship between the creative individual and the larger world, including the domain (knowledge or activity area) and the field (opinion leaders).
