It is an important factor in determining the course of life of an individual. It affects a person's adjustment, the vocation he will choose and how he will express his tastes and interests.Intelligence has been described in various ways including, abstract thought, understanding, self-awareness, communication, reasoning, learning, having emotional knowledge, planning, problem solving etc.The term Intelligence is derived from the Latin verb Intel liger which derives from inter-legers meaning to "pick out" or discern. A form of this verb, intellect us, became the medieval technical term for understanding, and a translation for the Greek philosophical term nous. This term was however strongly linked to the metaphysical and cosmological theories of teleological scholasticism, including theories of the immortality of the soul, and the concept of the Active Intellect.
