Measuring Intelligence

            Intelligence I is proportional to experience X and the ability to recall that experience so that

I % EMEMORYX

where                                                    EMEMORY% '

substituting for ' and X gives

 

which reduces to                                  I % ,('+1)

 

            This equation says that intelligence is directly proportional to conscious experience and psychic maturity (which, in turn, is also a function of conscious experience). As stated earlier, intelligence is proportional to the height of our phase space; the maximum length of the ego-Self axis or

                                                            I % C + UP

            At psychic puberty, '=1 and C=UP. If we assume that this relationship still holds at mid-life where the ego-Self axis is normally a maximum, then by substitution we have

2C % 2,

or                                                         C%, and also UP%F

            This suggests that the energy available to the ego from psychic puberty to mid-life is directly proportional to its conscious experience up to that point.
