Scale of Intelligence

The scale of intelligence, goes:


Reactive: It reacts to things, based on sensory input.



Associative: It recognizes other organisms, and can socialize with them.



Supra-Association: It not only recognizes other organisms, but can communicate with them in albeit primitive ways.



Personal: It recognizes itself as a personal entity.



Existential: It recognizes its own mortality.



Humor: It can have a sense of humor.



It possesses Cathexis: It has creative capacity.



Reason: Only men have this, but it can do complex things like algebra, or read and write.



Communal: It recognizes the needs of others above itself, and it can understand the otherness of a community, and has sacrificial ability to serve others before its own need.



Logocentric: It can properly identify the reality and substance of nature, and rather than be a product of will, it can understand a thing as it actually is, or even as it ought, as opposed to merely willing it to be. As most people understand the world as they will it, not as it actually is.



Prophetic: The ability to reconcile events, and predict future outcomes by assessing their natures in reality, and then forming correct conclusions based on such.



Above that you’re dealing with Angels and Demons and supernatural creatures. But, that’s the form of animal and human intelligence, as a scale.



IQ doesn’t fit on that scale, as someone with a low IQ could possess higher forms of intelligence.
