Explain the term intelligence. Describe the PASS model of intelligence.

Wechsler defined intelligence as the global and aggregate capacity of an individual to think rationally, act purposefully and to deal effectively with his / her environment.

PASS Model of Intelligence developed by J P Dass, Jack Naglieri & Kirby in 1994.
This model is comprised of the following-
P – PLANNING
A – AROUSAL / ATTENTION
S – SIMULTANEOUS
S – SUCCESSIVE

Planning: After the information is attended to and processed, planning is activated. For example, planning a time schedule for gyming.

Arousal/Attention: An optimal level of arousal focuses our attention to the relevant aspects of a problem. Too much or too little arousal would interfere with attention.Simultaneous and Successive.

Processing: Information is integrated into our knowledge system simultaneously or successively. In this process, relations among various concepts are integrated into a meaningful pattern for comprehension.
