What is the relevance of the various types of intellectual ability for organizational behavior?

What will be an ideal response?

The capacity to do mental activities such as thinking, reasoning, and problem solving can be defined as intellectual ability. The seven most frequently cited dimensions making up intellectual abilities are number aptitude, verbal comprehension, perceptual speed, inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, spatial visualization, and memory. Intelligence dimensions are positively related, so if a person scores high on verbal comprehension, for example, he/she is more likely to score high on spatial visualization. In addition, jobs differ in the demands they place on intellectual abilities. The more complex a job is in terms of information-processing demands, the more general intelligence and verbal abilities are necessary to perform successfully. Where employee behavior is highly routine and there are few or no opportunities to exercise discretion, a high IQ is not as important to performing well. However, this does not mean people with high IQs cannot have an impact on traditionally less complex jobs.
