Intellect means:

Options:
(a) Perceiving
(b) Remembering
(c) Thinking

✅ Correct Answer:

(c) Thinking

Explanation:

Intellect refers to the mental capacity for reasoning, understanding, and thinking. It is the faculty that enables humans to analyze information, make decisions, solve problems, and reflect on abstract concepts. While perceiving and remembering are important cognitive functions, intellect specifically involves higher-order thinking and reasoning processes. Repeating is mechanical learning without intellectual engagement.

In education, developing intellect is central to critical thinking, problem-solving, and higher-order learning, which are emphasized in PPSC pedagogy and psychology questions.
