Cannot be measured directly; can be evaluated by studying the intelligent acts that people perform. Western definitions seem to emphasize adaptation to the environment, basic mental processes, higher order thinking, and speed of processing. However, some cultures may be suspicious of the quality of work that is done very quickly hence, emphasizing depth of processing rather than speed of processing. Confucian perspective emphasizes the characteristics of benevolence and of doing what is right. The intelligent person spends a great deal of effort in learning, enjoys learning, and persists in lifelong learning. Taoist perspective emphasizes humility, freedom from conventional standards of judgment, and full knowledge of oneself as well as of external conditions. Yang & sternberg (1997): found five factors underlying taiwanese chinese conceptions of intelligence: general cognitive factor, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, intellectual self-assertion, and intellectual self-effacement.
