Capability

  • 1

    Smooth Idea - The ability to generate many ideas for one topic (total ideas are the most important, not quality, truth, or creativity).

  • 2

    Information Arrangement - The ability to arrange various things and actions in a certain sequence or pattern according to the rules specified (for example: number patterns, letters, words, pictures, mathematical operations).

  • 3

    Deductive Reasoning - The ability to apply general rules to certain problems in order to produce reasonable answers.

  • 4

    Inductive Reasoning - The ability to combine pieces of information to form general rules and conclusions (including finding relationships between seemingly unconnected events).

  • 5

    Problem Sensitivity - The ability to tell when something is wrong or maybe wrong. This does not involve solving the problem, only knowing if there is a problem.
