Abstract

‘Psychometry’ the science of measuring human intelligence has evolved slowly over the last  century. Today we have several theories for measuring this socially vital attribute of human  beings at various stages of development. Many of these theories are often contradictory and  the results are not conclusive. The measurement is done by administering mental ability tests  However, the search for a theory that yields good correlation is still ongoing.  Digital mental health by using a suite of digital technologies ranging from digital  interventions to the application of artificial intelligence is a logical next step in this progress.  Telepsychiatry and virtual reality in psychiatric treatment and rehabilitation are showing  considerable progress.  This paper reports the research of the author using three of the six major theories of  intelligence. The computational methodologies are generic and can be extended to any facet  of human potential measurement and development. It is reliant on advances in computer and  communication technologies such as high speed networking, multimedia and virtual reality.  If future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve  more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as  it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.  - Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th president of the United States of America
