Which of the following competency is NOT a facet of intelligence in the Indian tradition?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Unlike the western views, which primarily focus on cognitive parameters, the following competencies are identified as facets of intelligence in the Indian tradition :
• Cognitive capacity (sensitivity to context, understanding, discrimination, problem solving, and effective communication).
• Social competence (respect for social order, commitment to elders, the young and the needy, concern about others, recognising others’ perspectives).
• Emotional competence (selfregulation and self-monitoring of emotions, honesty, politeness, good conduct, and self-evaluation).
• Entrepreneurial competence (commitment, persistence, patience, hard work, vigilance, and goal-directed behaviours).
