Difference of Intelligence Level and Its Effects

(Rana Saeed Ahmad, Lahore)

As the members of one species, we have common heredity (biological heritage) in many things; our internal and external body organs are similar in shape and number. However, we differ in performance. Taking performance into consideration, people may be divided into two major classes. First Class includes individuals who possess very high character; usually, they are educated, intelligent, efficient, skillful, honest, civilized and patriotic citizens, hence, they are useful not only for themselves but also for their families and nation. Second Class comprises of people who have low character; generally, they are illiterate, unskillful, stupid, sluggish, dishonest and uncivilized. These individuals are selfish; hence, they work only for their own interests and do not understand the concept of welfare of society and honour of the nation, therefore, they are burden on relatives, society and nation.

Similarly, nations on the earth may be divided into two main groups. First Group includes nations that are highly advanced in technology, financially very rich, morally well civilized and extremely powerful in defense. Moreover, these nations are politically stable and their government institutions --- legislature, judiciary and administration --- and social organizations are performing their functions and duties very honestly and efficiently. They have succeeded in establishing welfare states, which provide basic facilities like balanced diet, residence, education, medical care, protection of property and life and speedy justice to their people. Consequently, in these countries, there are few political disturbances, legal crimes, moral wrongs and threats to property and life. Among these nations America, Canada, England, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan are famous. They are called Great Nations. They are dominating over the World. Second Group comprises nations/countries that are technically and academically backward, financially poor, morally less civilized and politically in stable. They have failed in establishing welfare states. Moreover, they cannot safeguard their sovereignty and are under the domination and control of the nations of the First Group. Besides, due to the above reasons along with others, these nations are surrounded by a lot of social, moral, racial, economic, law and order, political and other problems and difficulties.

For example, today while I am writing these lines, Pakistan is encircled by problems like price hike, energy shortage, extremism, terrorism, poverty, budget deficit, corruption, judicial cases against heads of state, etc.

So, there is crystal-clear disparity in character, abilities and performance of individuals and nations.

Now the questions arise, (a) what are the causes of this disparity and (b) how character, abilities and performance of a person and a nation may be improved?

This is an important and burning question of humankind. Psychologists, intellectuals, analyst, religious scholars and other people have answered this question according to their beliefs and knowledge. I have also tried my best to find out correct answer of the question. After serious study, careful consideration and thoughtful observation of many years, I have come to the conclusion: (a) the real or basic cause of disparity is the Differences of Intelligence Level, found among the individuals and the nations, and (b) in order to improve their character, abilities and performance it is inevitable to uplift their Present Intelligence Level.

In order to clarify of my above conclusion, I would like to highlight, in few lines, the Importance of Intelligence, the Effects of Difference of Intelligence Levels and meaning of Present Intelligence Level and Physiological Limit.

Intelligence is a miracle of the universe and the most precious thing for us. As, all our voluntary actions, whether morally right or wrong, religiously virtuous or sinful, legally lawful or unlawful are the productions of our intelligence. Even, a finger’s movement is the command of intelligence. Therefore, all the elements of character --- thinking, planning, sensations, sentiments, emotions, awareness of moral values and other similar qualities --- are the creations of our intelligence. In the absence of intelligence, no voluntary action can be conceived or performed.

Difference of Intelligence Level plays a decisive role in shaping the fate and destiny of individuals and nations. The individuals who have higher intellectual level succeed in every field of life. In the same way, nations who have higher intellectual level are ruling and dominating the world. On the other hand, individuals having low intelligence level fail to succeed in life. Similarly, a nation of low intelligence level cannot establish welfare, self-sufficient and sovereign state.

Present Intelligence Level means those intellectual capabilities, which a person has acquired so far; while, Physiological Limit indicate those capabilities, which a person inherits by birth. Present Intelligence Level may be improved by a better social environment and amenities.

The main objectives, amongst others, of writing of this article are to uplift and improve the Present Intelligence Levels of People. I have tried to present my viewpoints as scientifically as possible.
