The PASS Model of Intelligence (developed by J.P. Das, Jack A. Naglieri, and John R. Kirby) breaks intelligence into four components:
-
Arousal/Attention → II. Helps individuals attend to stimuli, focus, and maintain attention on tasks.
-
Simultaneous Processing → I. Involves integrating and relating information at once — such as visualizing spatial relationships or understanding patterns and concepts.
-
Successive Processing → III. Refers to remembering and processing information in a specific sequence, like language or step-by-step tasks.
-
Planning → IV. Involves setting goals, formulating strategies, and evaluating outcomes — essential for problem-solving and decision-making.
