INTELLIGENCE
The ability to perceive, pose and resolve problems.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
A person demonstrating high intelligence would perceive a situation accurately, formulate the problem clearly, and arrive at a workable resolution — not merely accumulate information.
Why It Matters
This definition ties intelligence directly to the ability to handle problems, making it a practical and improvable capacity rather than a fixed trait. Auditing and training aim to increase a person's ability to perceive, pose, and resolve problems.
