Processing more information in less time while maintaining accuracy and comprehension.
Processing efficiency means accomplishing cognitive work faster without sacrificing quality. Those with high processing efficiency read faster with equal comprehension, solve problems quicker, and handle more information throughput. This manifests as finishing tests early, quickly grasping presentations, and mentally processing options faster in decisions.
Processing speed is a distinct cognitive ability that correlates with general intelligence. Inspection time tasks and reaction time measures show that neural efficiency underlies speed advantages independent of strategy differences.
Finishing timed tests with time to spare
Quickly grasping the key points of presentations
Reading faster than peers while understanding equally well
Making decisions faster without sacrificing quality
Faster always means sloppier (efficiency maintains accuracy at higher speed)
Speed is about rushing (it's about processing efficiency, not hurrying)
Slow processing means lower intelligence (speed is one component among many)
Ask yourself these questions to evaluate whether you demonstrate this trait:
Do you typically finish timed tasks faster than most others?
Can you quickly grasp the main points of new information?
Do you process information faster than peers without sacrificing accuracy?
Speed without accuracy is useless. Some problems genuinely require slow, careful thinking. The skill is matching speed to task demands.

Ask yourself: Do you typically finish timed tasks faster than most others? Can you quickly grasp the main points of new information? Do you process information faster than peers without sacrificing accuracy? If you answered yes to most of these, you likely demonstrate this cognitive trait.
While cognitive abilities have a genetic component, most can be enhanced through deliberate practice and training. Speed without accuracy is useless. Some problems genuinely require slow, careful thinking. The skill is matching speed to task demands.
