The Triadic Functionality of Human Conscious Intelligence: Based on the Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature

Abstract

Intelligence is defined as the output of the functionality of the human brain that allows adapting to an environment. The research on intelligence began in 1976 and included monitoring the evolution of 102 individuals, among them 9 high IQ, 71 more than 20 years and 31 for more than 10 years. It allowed defining three different types of intelligence: the conscious intelligence, the genetic intelligence and the collective intelligence. It included also the discovery of the anti-intelligence that allows profiting from the environment while avoiding adapting to it. The discovery of the triadic functionality of intelligence, that is based on the triadic functionality of the ontogenetic intelligence of nature, introduces a structural shift in the understanding of human adaptive behavior and enhances the development of educational programs towards driving people to assume a proactive role in the environment. As human actions are driven by the concepts they have, conscious behavior begins by accepting that the concepts of what is being done have to be known. The discovery that ethics is in fact an intelligence that defines human intentions and evolves in the maturity process of an individual increased the level of transparency of human actions. The conscious intelligence of individuals defines their adaptive capacity, that is materialized by the strategies they use to influence the environment while being influenced by it. It applies to any field of human actions.
