Fluid Intelligence  (Paperback, Colonel (Dr) Jyotirmaya Satpathy, Dr. Mageswari Ranjanthran, Dr. Kavitha Subramaniam)

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of fluid intelligence and its relevance in decision-making. The author highlights the importance of gathering and sieving information, applying critical thinking, and questioning oneself to arrive at near-optimal decisions. Through selected inquiries, the book delves into topics such as the behavior of criteria adopted, the direct correlations that exist between approaches, and the identification of variables that affect preference making criteria. The book also explores the relationship between external variables and preference criteria used, the algorithms and computations underpinning preference processes, and the neuro-behavioural underpinnings of preference capacities. Additionally, it delves into the effects of norms, pressures, and stigma on preference-making and the crucial role of motivation and goal-orientation in influencing preference-making.
