Question

is the global capacity to understand the world, think rationally, and use available resources effectively when faced with the challenges.

• A. Attitude
• B. Personality
• C. Intelligence
• D. Self-actualisation

Hint:

Think of Wechsler's definition: a global capacity to think rationally and deal effectively with the environment.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the question:
The sentence describes a global capacity. This capacity helps a person understand the world, think in a rational way and use resources well when a challenge comes up. We must name the term that matches this description.
This is a standard definition from the unit on intelligence.

Step 2: Recall the definition:
David Wechsler defined intelligence as the aggregate or global capacity of an individual to act purposefully, to think rationally and to deal effectively with the environment. The question repeats this idea in simple words.
The words global capacity, think rationally and use resources effectively all point to intelligence.

Step 3: Check option 1 (Attitude):
An attitude is a learned way of thinking, feeling and behaving towards an object, person or idea. It is about liking or disliking something. It is not a capacity to understand the world. So option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2 (Personality):
Personality means the unique and fairly stable pattern of traits, feelings and behaviours of a person. It tells us how a person usually behaves. It does not describe a capacity to solve problems rationally. So option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3 (Intelligence):
Intelligence is the global ability to understand the world, reason well and use available resources when a person faces a challenge. This matches the given statement fully. So option 3 is correct.

Step 6: Check option 4 (Self-actualisation):
Self-actualisation is the highest need in Maslow's hierarchy. It means becoming all that one is capable of becoming. It is a motivational idea and not a global cognitive capacity. So option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
The blank is filled by intelligence, which is option 3. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 3: Intelligence}} \]
