What is intelligence?
That's a tough question with a complicated answer. At least it used to be.
Clinical psychologist, Dr. Todd Snyder has wrestled with it for years.
Dr. Synder is a rare breed of human. He has an innate level of receptivity to the world around him, intuition, if you will. He also has an entrepreneurial mindsight. Couple that with classical academic training and thousands of hours of clinical experience and you get Todd.
Todd's combination of unique disposition and experience has advantages. It also presents challenges. For example, real-world experience and textbooks don’t always align. It can be difficult to navigate both at the same time. Straddling these two worlds, Todd realized something was missing. There is no practical, unifying theory to reconcile the various theories and observations.
So he created it. His graduate presentation answered the question: "What is Intelligence?" And did so in the most unifying and practical way we've ever heard.
Simple, because it’s easy to understand. Unifying because it ties all working theories together. Practical because it can be applied, immediately.

How To Upgrade Your Intelligence
“Intelligence is the ability to get what you want.”
Any skill that helps you make better decisions in you life can be considered a form of intelligence.
Dr. Snyder’s definition emphasizes the practical application of intelligence. Rather than just increasing cognitive ability, the focus is on the ability to get what you want.
