- Intelligence as a process and product
- All inputs are data
- Outputs can be data/info/knowledge, possibly wisdom, but subjectivity/subjective capacity (room for interpretation of whether an output is considered I/K/W) increases at each level.
- But at the input level/state, the mind receives any output as data - must process in order to transmute into IKW.
Input/collect data. Synthesise data into information (grouping and labelling data meaningfully). Synthesise information into knowledge (group/label meaningfully). Synthesise into wisdom (knowledge applicable to what is considered “good” or “better”). Every stage yields intelligence, and requires intelligence to progress “upwards”.
