(A) Child rearing practices of technologically advanced societies	(IV) Skills of generalisation and abstraction, minimal moves and mental manipulation	These societies foster generalisation, abstraction, minimal moves and mental manipulation in children through the way they bring them up.
(B) Technological intelligence	(III) Skills of attention, observation, analysis, performance and achievement orientation	Persons in such societies are well-versed in attention, observation, analysis, performance and achievement orientation; this behaviour is called technological intelligence.

NCERT (2026-27): “CULTURE AND INTELLIGENCE …
Technologically advanced societies adopt child rearing practices that foster skills of generalisation and abstraction, speed, minimal moves, and mental manipulation among children. These societies promote a type of behaviour, which can be called technological intelligence. In these societies, persons are well-versed in skills of attention, observation, analysis, performance, speed, and achievement orientation. Intelligence tests developed in western cultures look precisely for these skills in an individual. Technological intelligence is not so valued in many Asian and African societies. The qualities and skills regarded as intelligent actions in non-western cultures are sharply different, though the boundaries are gradually vanishing under the influence of western cultures. In addition to cognitive competence that is very specific to the individual, the non-western cultures look for skills to relate to others in the society. Some non-western societies value self-reflection and collectivistic orientation as opposed to personal achievement and individualistic orientation.”

“The Sanskrit word ‘buddhi’ which is often used to represent intelligence is far more pervasive in scope than the western concept of intelligence. Buddhi, according to J.P. Das, includes such skills as mental effort, determined action, feelings, and opinions along with cognitive competence such as knowledge, discrimination, and understanding. Among other things, buddhi is the knowledge of one’s own self based on conscience, will and desire. Thus, the notion of buddhi has affective and motivational components besides a strong cognitive component. …”
