摘要：The concept of intelligence, which has been wondered and researched from past to present, has a very complex and multidimensional structure. Intelligence is at the forefront of the issues that are emphasized and followed by researchers in the 21st century.This study basically aims to present the historical and conceptual facts about intelligence from past to present in a certain hierarchy. In the framework of this main purpose, firstly, information about the first studies on intelligence research is given in the article. Also, the common identification attempts of important researchers working in the field regarding intelligence are summarized. Then, a classification was made on major intelligence theories. Finally, many of the theories put forward by researchers from the past to the present to explain intelligence are presented in the historical hierarchy. As a result, it is seen that despite many studies on intelligence, it is still not possible to talk about a common definition and theory even today. Each theory and study put forward appears as a complement to the previous theory for intelligence. As a matter of fact, intelligence is a complex phenomenon that cannot be observed directly.
