• In order to create an appropriate test of Executive Intelligence we must first understand the difference between knowledge and intelligence.
  • Knowledge refers to information that one can recall about a subject, while intelligence determines how skillfully one uses such information to achieve a particular goal.
  • Knowledge and intelligence are interdependent. One cannot be applied effectively without the other, and they are both necessary to reach a sound conclusion.
  • The most common executive-assessment methodologies focus purely on knowledge and provide no measure of intelligence.
  • Adding an intelligence measure to currently existing knowledge assessments would nearly double the predictive accuracy of evaluations.
