We could focus on some specific intelligence-related characteristics that have often been identified in the definitional debates about what makes us human. Here is a short list of some (potentially overlapping) candidates:

  • Reason
  • Rationality/irrationality
  • Common sense
  • Willpower
  • Emotion
  • Phenomenological experience
  • Creativity
  • Language/capacity to construct new language or social meaning
  • Planning for others
  • Language with which to plan for future/others
