Preferred term

mathematical intelligence  

Definition(s)

  • Mathematical intelligence is considered a strong indicator of general intelligence, and items requiring numerical and spatial reasoning have historically been a component of what constitutes an IQ or “g” score. The traditional view of mathematical intelligence as a construct measurable by a standardized battery leaves little room for the role of imaginative thinking and does not take into consideration the extracognitive and sociocultural factors that influence a person's mathematical creativity.
