(Also known as Resource Structure in BaZi)
The INTELLECT Component consists of Analyser and Philosopher Talents.
INTELLECT Component people are known as thinkers. They are very analytical, with problem-solving abilities. They are the consummate advisors who always have the facts and figures ready at their fingertips (or, if they don’t, they will ensure that they will find it out!). They are often very methodical and precise in all that they do. They love having information, as knowledge is what motivates and spurs them to greater heights.
THE GOOD
When INTELLECT Component is at its brightest, most functional, and healthiest moments, the person will come across as someone who is very knowledgeable and able to analyze things intellectually or/and philosophically. They are fast learners and collect information about any topic efficiently. People with learning abilities are also emphatic and provide a significant amount of support to those in need. INTELLECT Component, when at its best, is the closest to what we know as motherly love and care, something which is purely selfless and nurturing.
These individuals excel in questioning the hows behind every project, task, information, or procedure. They are very reflective and quiet in behavior and are always keen to get to the heart of the matter. As such, they can also be very structured and orderly. INTELLECT Component people can be counted upon to research everything thoroughly before they embark on anything new.
THE BAD
On the other hand, INTELLECT Component individuals can also be overly pedantic and slow, with a tendency to be dull and too concerned with facts and figures. They drag things out in the hopes of being able to get more information, and sometimes their over-thinking tends to hinder their decision-making progress. Instead of acting fast, they tend to think even more about the matter without ever coming up with a practical conclusion.
When the INTELLECT Component is excessive, uncontrolled, and idle (not in use), the person might be quite thin, even anorexic.
They also put a lot of emphasis on reputation; they can react very ferociously if their name or their actions are judged negatively. Their ego is very sensitive, so other people should be careful not to question their reputation too bluntly or without good arguments.
TALENT BRIDGE
INTELLECT ↔ OUTPUT
INTELLECT ↔ WEALTH
Components often create connections between each other, we call these cooperations a Talent Bridge. These relationships are significant for the overall quality of the Talents and Supertalents, making them more useful and productive.
When INTELLECT Component has a connection with OUTPUT, it represents intelligence, ability to learn, and get a high degree in school. The person with such a combination will be excellent in analyzing and processing data and able to put it to practical use through the OUTPUT Component.
A combination of INTELLECT and WEALTH will very likely result in a person pursuing their own business, looking for financial independence, not working for somebody else.
