Human intelligence is a multifaceted construct that has been the subject of study and debate for decades. The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) has traditionally been used as a measure of cognitive ability, but new research suggests that it may not be sufficient to assess intelligence in its entirety. In this context, the concept of DWRI Intelligence (Development of Wide Regions of Intellectual Interference) arises, proposed by Rodrigues (2022), which seeks to expand the understanding of intelligence beyond IQ.
DWRI Intelligence is not limited to the skills measured by traditional IQ tests, such as verbal, numerical, logical and spatial ability. Instead, it encompasses a broader range of cognitive abilities, including emotional, social, and creative intelligence. DWRI is seen as the result of the interaction between the genetic potential of intelligence, measured by IQ, and the development of various brain regions through environmental, social and educational stimuli (Rodrigues, 2022).
This new perspective challenges the traditional view of intelligence as a single and immutable ability, proposing that it is a dynamic and multifaceted phenomenon that can be developed and improved throughout life. DWRI Intelligence highlights the importance of considering not only IQ, but also other factors, such as personality, life experiences and sociocultural context, when assessing an individual’s intelligence.
