If we can understand Intelligence research, we can probably understand each other better, what’s not to like – the study of Intelligence is actually called: the study of individual differences.

The study of intelligence is, perhaps ironically, often shrouded in language that makes it anything but accessible. Consider, for example, the Developmental Priority Theory (DPT) and the AACog mechanism, terms that are meant to advance our understanding of intelligence. Instead, they have become a tangle of acronyms that obscure rather than inform. Imagine sitting in on a lecture where the speaker throws around terms like ‘ g’, 'relational integration', 'cognizance processes' and the ‘cognitive underpinnings of prodigiousness’, without pausing to explain their real-world relevance. This kind of inaccessible language forms a barrier, not just between researchers and the public, but between knowledge and its potential impact. The study of intelligence is so crucial to society, and those who study it must learn to communicate more effectively with the world beyond the academy and scientific conferences. Yet, the language of Intelligence research is mindogglingly dense, excrutitingly complex and unnecessarily brain numbing.

Have I lost you yet? Believe me reading about the science of intelligence is a decent into brain fog.. yet it should be something we all care about.
