Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a comparison was made of the effect of a shot through the brain of a zebra, a lion, or an elephant with the effect of a shot through the brain of a turtle, a crocodile, or a python, a great difference was noted. In the warm- blooded group death was instantaneous. In the cold-blooded group there was more or less muscular activity for varying periods of time, up to several hours. Why one animal behaves like a high-powered motor, set in high gear, exhausting itself by a high expenditure of energy, and another behaves like a low-powered motor, set in low gear, and therefore capable of carrying on indefinitely at a moderate expenditure of energy, has long been an enigma. This became our problem ..."--Amaon.co.uk product desc. (new ed.).

Download or read book Personal Intelligence written by John D. Mayer and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Personal Intelligence, John D. Mayer, the renowned psychologist who co-developed the groundbreaking theory of emotional intelligence, now draws on decades of research to introduce another paradigm-shifting idea: that in order to become our best selves, we use an even broader intelligence--personal intelligence--to understand our own personality and the personalities of the people around us. Bringing together a diverse set of findings, his theory explores our ability to read faces; to accurately weigh choices in relationships, work, and family life; and to judge long-term goals. Mayer illustrates his points with examples drawn from the lives of successful athletes, police detectives, and musicians, showing how people with high personal intelligence are able to anticipate their own desires, predict the behavior of others, and motivate themselves to make better life decisions. Personal Intelligence is an indispensable book for anyone who wants to better comprehend how we make sense of our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Intelligence IF I am not mistaken, we mean now-a-days by Intelligence, what was formerly called Understanding or Intellect - that is to say, the faculty of knowing; this, at least, is the sense in which I have taken the word. At all events, I here intend to examine our knowledge, that is to say, our cognitions, and nothing else. The words faculty, capacity, power, which have played so great a part in psychology, are only, as we shall see, convenient names by means of which we put together, in distinct compartments, all facts of a distinct kind; these names indicate a character common to all the facts under a distinct heading they do not indicate a mysterious and profound essence, remaining constant and hidden under the flow of transient facts. This is why I have treated of cognitions only, and, if I have mentioned faculties, it has been to show that in themselves, and as distinct entities, they do not exist.

Download or read book Virtually You The Dangerous Powers of the E Personality written by Elias Aboujaoude and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Instantly engaging and eminently accessible . . . . an enlightening and cautionary exploration of an increasingly intrusive aspect of modern society." —Booklist While the Internet can enhance well-being, Elias Aboujaoude has spent years treating patients whose lives have been profoundly disturbed by it. Part of the danger lies in how the Internet allows us to act with exaggerated confidence, sexiness, and charisma. Aboujaoude dubs this new self our “e-personality” and argues that its traits are too potent to be confined online. Offline, too, we’re becoming impatient, unfocused, and urge-driven. Virtually You draws from Aboujaoude’s personal and professional experience to highlight this new phenomenon. The first scrutiny of the virtual world’s transformative power on our psychology, Virtually You demonstrates how real life is being reconfigured in the image of a chat room, and how our identity increasingly resembles that of our avatar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building Human Intelligence While it is true that physical health is the best guarantee for a healthy mental condition, which is also expressed in the saying of the Romans, Mens sana in corpore sano,1 it is, never theless, shown that a surprisingly large number Of great men, particularly of the great thinkers and scholars such as Kant, Helmholtz, Newton, Watt, and others, have been sickly chil dren, and often remained weak their whole lives long; yet this in no way affected either their mental faculties or their longevity. To illustrate some Of my statements I, found it necessary to delve somewhat more into the modes of life and habits Of some of the great men. The necessary data were found in a number of treatises by contemporaries of these mental heroes, as well as in the writings Of Moebius and W. Oswald. I have also used a number of encyclopedias, which were placed at my disposal in the British Museum, in London, and in the Royal Libraries, at the'hague, in Holland, particularly the very correct and thor ough biographies found in the Encyclopedia Britannica and Hispano Americana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instinct and Intelligence The meaning of the term Education is "to draw out what is in a child"; it therefore includes the training of his inherited instinctive disposition or character, as well as the "putting in" needful knowledge, or the "instruction" of his intellectual faculties. Educationists of the present time appear to exaggerate the importance of training the intellect, and are apt to overlook the fact that each individual possesses certain instinctive qualities which to a large extent determine his behaviour throughout life. These qualities, which no human power can eradicate, may, however, be favourably modified by appropriate training.

Download or read book On Intelligence Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by H. Taine and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Intelligence, Vol. 1 Such is the method it has been attempted to follow in this work. In the first part, the elements of knowledge have been determined; by consecutive reductions we have arrived at the most simple elements, and have passed from these to the physiological changes which are the condition of their origin. In the second part, we have first described the mech anism and general effect of their combination then, applying the law we have discovered, we have examined the elements, formation, certitude, and range of the principal kinds of our knowledge, from that of individual things to that of general things, from the most special perceptions, previsions, and recollections, up to the most universal judgments and axioms. In these inquiries, Consciousness, our principal instrument, is not sufficient in its ordinary state; it is no more sufficient in psychological inquiries than the naked eye in Optical in quiries. For its range is not great; its illusions are many and invincible; it is necessary continually to beware of it; to test and correct its evidence, nearly always to assist it, to present objects to it in a brighter light, to magnify them and construct for its use a kind of microscope or telescope; at all events, to arrange the surroundings of the object, to give it the necessary relief by means of contrasts, or to find beside it indications of its presence, indications plainer than it is, and indirectly pointing out its nature.

Binet, and those who are acquainted with the outlines of the theory of the Nancy school, who make so much of suggestion, will be able to see how strong the case may be made against that point of view.

Download or read book The Psychological Methods of Testing Intelligence Classic Reprint written by William Stern and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychological Methods of Testing Intelligence The Objection is Often made that the problem Of intellectual diagnosis can in no way be successfully dealt with until we have exact knowledge Of the gen eral nature Of intelligence itself. But this Objection does not seem to me pertinent. In science there is no such precise sequence Of the different research prob lems. We measure electro-motive force without knowing what electricity is, and we diagnose with very delicate test methods many diseases the real nature of which we know as yet very little. Indeed, it may be asserted, quite on the contrary, that prog ress in testing intelligence may Shed light from a new angle upon the theoretical study Of intelligence and thus supplement the psychology Of thinking in a valuable manner. If it turns out, for Instance, that certain symptoms are relevant and others irrelevant for the differentiation Of the intelligence shown by different persons; if, again, one series of these symp toms exhibit a high degree, another series a less de gree of intercorrelation, then our knowledge Of the structure Of intelligence must thereby be little by lit tle increased, and thus there will develop a fruitful reciprocity between the two phases Of investigation, theoretical and applied. Naturally, we cannot begin our work without a pre liminary definition Of intelligence, however pro visional it may be. And this definition must be neither too broad nor too narrow.

Download or read book Psychology of Intelligence Analysis written by Richards J Heuer and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seminal work, published by the C.I.A. itself, produced by Intelligence veteran Richards Heuer discusses three pivotal points. First, human minds are ill-equipped ("poorly wired") to cope effectively with both inherent and induced uncertainty. Second, increased knowledge of our inherent biases tends to be of little assistance to the analyst. And lastly, tools and techniques that apply higher levels of critical thinking can substantially improve analysis on complex problems.
