Summary

This chapter reviews both implicit and explicit theories of intelligence worldwide and suggests that intelligence is both general and culturally specific. Although people around the world share some core views in their conceptions of intelligence, including cognitive competence (both verbal and nonverbal) and social-emotional competence, there are cultural variations regarding emphasis of different aspects. In general, people from Asia, Africa, and South America emphasize social, emotional, and moral aspects of intelligence more than did their counterparts from Western Europe and North America. The chapter also discusses the impact of globalization in the twenty-first century on the evolution of concepts of intelligence and concludes that, as the concept of intelligence has become increasingly inclusive, so do the measurements of intelligences.
