<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>What does it mean to be philocognitive?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

It means being addicted to the world of thought and knowledge.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Does a philocognitive think better than a non-philocognitive?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Probably, because they think more, but not necessarily; just as someone who exercises every day and for whom sport matters is a better athlete than someone who exercises twice a week and for whom it is not essential.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>What is the difference between \u201cgifted, zebra, high potential, neuroatypical, high-IQ, precocious, neurodivergent\u201d\u2026 and \u201cphilocognitive\u201d?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Philocognition brings all these terms, each reflecting a different nuance in one's relationship to thought and knowledge, under one single name that aims to be more comprehensive and more consistent.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Is philocognition hereditary?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Yes, no and\u2026 we don't know! We know that an individual's ability to produce high-quality reasoning is between 20% and 50% heritable. But:<\/p>

1\/ We do not know to what extent a taste for thought or knowledge is inherited, and<\/p>

2\/ It is possible to develop both the taste and the ability without being genetically predisposed to philocognition.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>So you can become philocognitive?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Yes, I believe so. Just as someone who was uncomfortable with their body can develop a strong taste for sport, and then skill in it, later in life, someone who is not particularly at ease with their thinking can develop it later on.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Does a philocognitive necessarily have a high IQ?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

No! A person with a high IQ is generally philocognitive, but there can be various reasons why a philocognitive may not have \u201cscored high\u201d on an IQ test (WPPSI, WISC, WAIS): fatigue, stress, unfavourable circumstances, lack of cognitive stimulation\u2026 Bear in mind that in ONE THIRD of cases, when someone retakes an IQ test a year or more after first taking it, their IQ varies by 20 points on average!<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>What percentage of the population is philocognitive?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Logically, I would say about a third, the other two thirds being operatives (who are addicted to action) and connectives (addicted to connecting with others).
Those who argue that philocognition (or giftedness) = an IQ above 130 conclude that philocognitives make up only 2.2% of the population. But they do not take into account the appetite for thought or knowledge, only the quality of part of the reasoning, and only at a given moment.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

FAQ Philocognition Que veut dire \u00eatre philocognitif ? \u00c7a signifie \u00eatre accro au monde de la pens\u00e9e et de la connaissance. Est-ce qu\u2019un philocognitif pense mieux qu\u2019un non-philocognitif ? Probablement, car il pense plus, mais pas forc\u00e9ment ; tout comme quelqu\u2019un qui fait du sport tous les jours et pour qui le sport est important est un meilleur sportif que quelqu\u2019un qui fait du sport deux fois par semaine et pour qui ce n\u2019est pas fondamental. Quelle est la diff\u00e9rence entre \u201csurdou\u00e9, z\u00e8bre, haut potentiel, neuroatypique, HPI, pr\u00e9coce, neurodivergent\u201d\u2026 et \u201cphilocognitif\u201d ? La philocognition regroupe tous ces termes \u2014 qui ram\u00e8nent tous \u00e0 des nuances diff\u00e9rentes dans le rapport \u00e0 la pens\u00e9e et \u00e0 la connaissance\u00a0\u2014 sous une seule et unique appellation, qui se veut plus globale et plus coh\u00e9rente. Est-ce que la philocognition est h\u00e9r\u00e9ditaire ? Oui, non et\u2026 on ne sait pas ! 0n sait qu\u2019il y a entre 20% et 50% d\u2019h\u00e9ritabilit\u00e9 dans la capacit\u00e9 d\u2019un individu \u00e0 produire un raisonnement de qualit\u00e9. Mais : 1\/ On ne sait pas dans quelle mesure on h\u00e9rite du go\u00fbt pour la pens\u00e9e ou la connaissance et 2\/ On peut d\u00e9velopper \u00e0 la fois le go\u00fbt et la capacit\u00e9 sans avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9tiquement par la philocognition. Donc on peut devenir philocognitif ? Oui, je le crois. Au m\u00eame titre que quelqu\u2019un qui \u00e9tait mal \u00e0 l\u2019aise avec son corps peut d\u00e9velopper un go\u00fbt prononc\u00e9, puis une comp\u00e9tence dans le sport de fa\u00e7on tardive, quelqu\u2019un qui n\u2019est pas particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 l\u2019aise avec sa pens\u00e9e peut le d\u00e9velopper tardivement. Est-ce qu\u2019un philocognitif a forc\u00e9ment un QI \u00e9lev\u00e9\u00a0? Non ! Une personne qui a un QI est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement philocognitive, mais il peut y avoir diverses raisons pour lesquelles un philocognitif peut ne pas avoir \u201cscor\u00e9 haut\u201d au test du QI (WPPSI, WISC, WAIS) : fatigue, stress, contexte d\u00e9favorable, manque de stimulation cognitive\u2026 Il faut savoir que, dans UN TIERS des cas, quand quelqu\u2019un passe une deuxi\u00e8me fois le test du QI apr\u00e8s l\u2019avoir d\u00e9j\u00e0 pass\u00e9 un an ou plus auparavant, son QI varie d\u2019en moyenne 20 points ! Quel pourcentage de la population est philocognitif\u00a0? Logiquement, je dirais environ un tiers, les deux autres tiers \u00e9tant repr\u00e9sent\u00e9s respectivement par les op\u00e9ratifs (qui sont accros \u00e0 l\u2019action) et les connectifs (accros \u00e0 la connexion aux autres).Ceux qui d\u00e9fendent l\u2019id\u00e9e que philocognition (ou HPI) = QI au-dessus de 130 en concluent que les philocognitifs ne repr\u00e9sentent que 2,2% de la population. Mais ils ne tiennent pas compte de l\u2019app\u00e9tence pour la pens\u00e9e ou la connaissance\u00a0; seulement de la qualit\u00e9 d\u2019une partie du raisonnement et seulement \u00e0 un instant
