What Is Brainpower? A Definition
What is brainpower? My dictionary simply says this: “Intellectual capacity.” That’s the entire entry. This two word definition leaves a lot of things unanswered. For example, does “intellectual capacity,” and therefore brainpower simply mean IQ, or “intelligence quotient”?
I have another definition of brainpower that I prefer. It is “The effective use of one’s brain.” Power, after all, is defined as, “The ability or capacity to perform or act effectively,” and “Strength or force exerted or capable of being exerted.” Power is not the mere possession of things that have potential, but the ability to use them. Military power, for example, does not arise solely from owning weapons, but from having men who are trained to use them.
