Abstract

This paper presents a fuzzy, computational model for the natural languish word ‘human intelligence’. This is a mathematical model that takes into account various interpretations of the word “intelligent” and enables comparisons between them for a given IQ index. The model is a linguistic variable mathematical model, built especially for the word ‘human intelligence’ and is called the ‘human intelligence’ linguistic variable. The model is constructed systematically along the whole paper. The first step consists of the representation of the word ‘human intelligence’ with a fuzzy set. This step is followed by the construction of fuzzy sets corresponding to the words obtained by adding different hedges to the word ‘intelligent’ (i.e. very intelligent, more or less intelligent, etc.) The steps, which follow, use fuzzy logic operators and fuzzy set operations in order to further expand the set of different possible understandings of the word human intelligence. Along the whole paper, different examples are presented in order to illustrate the new element incorporated in the ‘human intelligence‘linguistic variable, and illustrate computation with the new added element.
