He can afford only a few performance modifications to his car, but he chose these with knowledge of how to get the most performance increase for his money. Although Jared seldom thinks about his brain, each of his considerable intellectual skills is achieved through the physical actions of his brain tissue. The obvious feature of Jared’s brain is the large, wrinkled cortex. In this chapter we will follow the typical approach of relating the mind’s functions to the structures and mechanisms of the cortex.
The mind’s qualities therefore appear elusive, even spooky. The naı¨ve view of the mind makes it difficult for us to make decisions about mental qualities such as intelligence, even when we face these decisions on a daily basis. A teacher must determine whether a child is able to deal with a new lesson. A supervisor on the factory floor must evaluate whether a new worker will understand the problems that appear in the work flow. With no real training in how the mind works, people must discover for themselves how to judge the qualities of intelligence.

Subjective Intelligence The basic theory is laid out in Chapter 5, but we will spend another chapter exploring its breadth and depth. Like a good solution to any puzzle, a theory works best when it opens up new explanations we did not expect. In Chapter 6 we will see how the theory of consolidating concepts across visceral and somatic networks explains other structures of intelligence in new ways.
