It was found that intelligence quotient (IQ) was more in [[kapha]] [[prakṛti]] individuals. Moderate IQ was observed in [[pitta]] [[prakṛti]]. It was comparatively less in [[vata]] [[prakṛiti]] individuals.

The process of cognition is known as “jnanotpatti”. The five sensory faculties (jnanendriya) give inputs to the internal processing unit, including mind, ego, and intellect. [Cha. Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 1/24] The sensory signals are subjected to analysis, thought process, and generation of assumptions at the level of mind. The intellect performs the process of discrimination (adhyavasaya) and decision (nishchaya). It sends signals to the motor faculty for initiation of needful action. [Cha. Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 1/20-23].
