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.
