They\u2019re often known to look at things from an intellectual point of view. But there\u2019s more to it than meets the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re analytically inclined or if you want to level up this aspect of yourself, explore how you can truly appreciate the importance of analytical intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-analytical-intelligence\">What is analytical intelligence?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those with analytical intelligence (also known as componential intelligence) are expert problem solvers. They\u2019re able to recognize patterns, apply logic, and use deductive reasoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This category of intellect, according to psychologist Robert Sternberg, is the ability to:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Process and apply logical reasoning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify patterns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make accurate predictions about the outcome of complex events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s closely aligned with academics, science, and computations. And as someone who\u2019s \u201cbook smart,\u201d you\u2019re able to analyze, evaluate, judge, compare, and contrast in those fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, let\u2019s say you\u2019re reading Margaret Atwood\u2019s <em>The Handmaid\u2019s Tale<\/em>. As an analytical thinker, you could easily compare the main characters&#8217; motives or analyze the story&#8217;s context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In psychology, analytical intelligence relates to the <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/referencework\/10.1007\/978-0-387-79061-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201c<em>mental mechanisms individuals utilize to plan and undertake academic and problem-solving tasks<\/em>,\u201d<\/a> as defined by the Encyclopedia of Child Behavior and Development. It\u2019s closest to what\u2019s measured on the traditional IQ test.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as opposed to experiential and contextual intelligence, which uses learned knowledge or experience to solve novel problems, analytical intelligence instead relies on internal mental knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-sternberg-s-3-types-of-intelligence\">Understanding Sternberg\u2019s 3 types of intelligence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychologist Robert Sternberg created the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/triarchic-theory-of-intelligence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">triarchic theory of intelligence<\/a> in the 1980s to pursue a new way of examining human intelligence. It breaks it down into three distinct types: analytical, experiential, and practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you already understand the essence of analytical intelligence, let&#8217;s break down the two other types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-experiential-intelligence\">Experiential intelligence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with experiential intelligence (also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/creative-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">creative intelligence<\/a>) have a flexible mindset and can quickly adapt to their environment. They are risk takers, problem solvers, willing to be different and think outside the box \u2014 traits that enable them to invent or imagine a novel solution to a problem or situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, let\u2019s say something gets broken and you don\u2019t have the right tools to fix it. If you\u2019re able to McGuyver it, you\u2019re using creative intelligence to solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-practical-intelligence\">Practical intelligence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cStreet smarts\u201d is the layman\u2019s term for practical intelligence (also known as contextual intelligence). People with this intellect, according to Sternberg, are able to adapt quickly to unfavorable conditions and confidently navigate their surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, how would you react if you got lost in a new city, and what would be your plan to find your way back home? As a practical thinker, you\u2019re able to use knowledge based on your experiences to find solutions to this particular problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe \n  src=\"https:\/\/quiz.mindvalley.com\/intelligence-types\" \n  width=\"99%\" \n  height=\"658\" \n  frameborder=\"0\" \n  scrolling=\"yes\"\n  title=\"Brilliance Finder Quiz\"\n  style=\"border: 2px solid #A004EC; border-radius: 8px;\">\n<\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-analytical-intelligence-vs-experiential-intelligence-vs-practical-intelligence\">Analytical intelligence vs. experiential intelligence vs. practical intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all possess all three types of intelligence. However, we tend to lean on one rather than the rest. Here\u2019s a side-by-side comparison of all three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Analytical Intelligence<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Experiential Intelligence<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Practical Intelligence<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Alternative Name<\/td><td>Componential intelligence<\/td><td>Creative intelligence<\/td><td>Contextual intelligence<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Abilities<\/td><td>Solve problems that require a single solution<\/td><td>React to new situations and able to successfully produce new ideas<\/td><td>Apply intelligence in practical, everyday situations<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Key Skills<\/td><td>Analyzes things from a theoretical perspective, evaluates pros and cons, explains theoretical and abstract ideas, compares and contrasts ideas easily, critiques ideas, sees long-term solutions to complex problems<\/td><td>Imaginative, design-oriented, appreciate newness and originality, think outside the box, problem-solver<\/td><td>Learn by doing, utilize tools to get things done, implement ideas, enjoy problem-solving, apply knowledge, action-taker<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is possible to level up and expand beyond your intelligence comfort zone, should you wish to. So let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-analytical-intelligence\">How to use analytical intelligence?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analytical thinkers can get to the bottom of things. They question rather than make assumptions, following the motto (most likely), &#8220;<em>When you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the abilities of those with analytical intelligence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Analyze.<\/strong> Like detectives, analytical thinkers will dig for every bit of information on any particular issue. They go in-depth to better understand it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Evaluate.<\/strong> Before making a conclusive decision on any given matter, they\u2019ll go through the process of elimination.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Judge.<\/strong> Rarely will emotion sway an analytical thinker. Instead, they\u2019ll use linear thinking to come to a sound, sensical, well-thought-out conclusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compare and contrast. <\/strong>They have the ability to easily note the similarities and differences between or among ideas. This allows them to highlight important details, make abstract ideas more concrete, and reduce any confusion between related concepts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/analytical-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">analytical skills<\/a> often search for information and evidence, have a logical and systematic approach to things, prefer routines, have the innate ability to concentrate, and have exceptional memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-examples-of-analytical-people\">Examples of analytical people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you\u2019re considered \u2018book smart.\u2019 What can you do with this ability?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are five career paths that you can get into and examples of people in that field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-mathematician\">#1: Mathematician<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It takes critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, problem-solving, time management, and analysis to be a mathematician. Think John Nash, who won the Nobel Prize in economics for his work in game theory. His work inspired the movie, <em>The Beautiful Mind<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many industries now rely on data, so people who are great with numbers and analyzing complex problems definitely have a bright future ahead of them. So much so that for math occupations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/math\/home.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">27% job growth rate between 2019 and 2029<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-analyst\">#2: Analyst<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s all about gathering, interpreting, and using complex data for an analyst. They take information, analyze it, and identify trends or areas of improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember the movie <em>Moneyball<\/em>? It\u2019s probably one of the most definitive movies that use analytics, where the general manager of Oakland Athletics and a Yale graduate use numerical analysis and predictive modeling techniques to reinvent the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-code-breaker\">#3: Code breaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A code breaker is a person who performs cryptanalysis, which is the process of deciphering coded messages without a key. They use logic and intuition to uncover or decode information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their abilities are important in warfare, as depicted in many combat movies, like <em>The Imitation Game<\/em>. The film highlights the life of a cryptanalyst who, with a team of code breakers, tries to decipher the code of the German enigma machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-academic\">#4: Academic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While this occupation isn\u2019t as demanding as solving complex mathematical problems, academics do use elements of analytical intelligence. Putting together a well-structured essay or publication involves thorough research, analyzing information, evaluating opposing arguments, and comparing and contrasting points of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great example of an academic analytical thinker is Robert Langdon from Dan Brown\u2019s series, starting with <em>Angels &amp; Demons<\/em>. The fictional Harvard University professor uses his brilliant problem-solving mind and knowledge of religious iconology and symbology to help solve mysteries surrounding that particular subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-director\">#5: Director<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of analytical occupation blends in with experiential and practical intelligence. However, a director possesses many analytical abilities, including assessing the scenes, comparing and contrasting the script\u2019s dialogue with how the actor presents it, and seeing the film\u2019s overall vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock, is a great example. He became known for thrillers, having directed cinematic masterpieces like <em>Psycho<\/em> and <em>The Birds.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2018\/11\/analytical-intelligence-Mindvalley-Live-LA-Kersti-Niglas.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Kwik, trainer of Mindvalley's Superbrain Quest\" class=\"wp-image-64752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2018\/11\/analytical-intelligence-Mindvalley-Live-LA-Kersti-Niglas.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2018\/11\/analytical-intelligence-Mindvalley-Live-LA-Kersti-Niglas-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2018\/11\/analytical-intelligence-Mindvalley-Live-LA-Kersti-Niglas-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2018\/11\/analytical-intelligence-Mindvalley-Live-LA-Kersti-Niglas-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jim Kwik, trainer of Mindvalley&#8217;s <em>Superbrain<\/em> program<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jim-kwik-s-10-habits-to-improve-your-analytical-brain\">Jim Kwik\u2019s 10 habits to improve your analytical brain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to level up, your morning routine is a great place to start. As <strong>Jim Kwik<\/strong>, world-renowned brain coach and trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s <em>Superbrain<\/em> program, says, \u201c<em>First you make your habits, and then, your habits make you<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are 10 habits, as suggested by Jim, to implement into your morning routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remember your dreams. <\/strong>As you solve problems during your waking state, your mind continues to work on them as you sleep.
