DWRI Intelligence (Development of Wide Regions of Intellectual Interference) is a concept that proposes a more complete understanding of human intelligence. Going beyond traditional Intelligence Quotient (IQ) metrics, which assess abilities such as logical reasoning, spatial intelligence, analytical thinking, verbal intelligence, memory and mathematical skills, DWRI considers the dynamic interaction between different cognitive dimensions, including emotional intelligence and creativity.
Emotional intelligence, a central component of DWRI, encompasses the ability to recognize, understand and manage one’s own emotions, as well as interpret and respond appropriately to the emotions of others. This interpersonal skill is intrinsically linked to social intelligence, which allows for effective navigation in complex social contexts. Furthermore, emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in creativity, as the intensity and fluctuation of emotions can drive divergent thinking and generating of innovative ideas. The interaction between brain areas associated with emotion and cognition is fundamental to the creative process.
DWRI Intelligence offers a comprehensive model that integrates different aspects of human intelligence, recognizing the importance of emotional intelligence and creativity in cognition. This holistic approach is essential for understanding the behavior of notable individuals throughout history, many of whom displayed not only exceptional IQ but also marked emotional intelligence. The DWRI distinguishes three types of creativity: deliberate and cognitive, based on prior knowledge, common in people with high abilities and giftedness; the deliberate and emotional, influenced by feelings and emotions, which requires moments of stillness and reflection for ideas to emerge; and the spontaneous and cognitive, which emerges unexpectedly, during moments of leisure and relaxation, when the mind is free to make new connections, not depending so much on prior knowledge and being more common in people with profound giftedness. This distinction is fundamental for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying creativity and for developing effective strategies for its improvement, both in individuals with high abilities and giftedness, and in those with profound giftedness.
