Definition

  • Intelligence is a broad term that can be used to describe aptitude in any of a spectrum of competencies (for example, spatial, musical, or interpersonal). Intelligence and intellectual capacity have been conceptualized a number of different ways; however, there are three categories of intelligence in particular that widely influence the ability to deceive and to detect deception: general intelligence, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence.
