Three studies were conducted to explore the notion of intelligence in Mexican ethnic groups.

However, indigenous teachers, defining intelligence from the ethnic viewpoint, stressed its social in the same proportion as its technological aspects. In the second study, the concept of intelligence of nahua mothers emphasized the importance of social aspects of intelligence. In the third study, bilingual teachers from different ethnic regions defined intelligence in equivalent terms as nahua teachers from the first study.

Los resultados del primer estudio indicaron que los profesores mestizos y nahuas definen la inteligencia infantil en términos tecnológicos, propios de países industrializados. Sin embargo, cuando los profesores nahuas la definieron desde la perspectiva étnica incluyeron proporciones equivalentes de conceptos sociales y tecnológicos. En un segundo estudio se indagó el concepto que poseían las madres nahuas, quienes subrayaron la importancia de los aspectos sociales de la inteligencia. En el tercer estudio, profesores indígenas de diferentes regiones étnicas definieron el concepto de inteligencia congruentemente con los profesores nahuas del primer estudio. De los tres estudios, se concluye que las nociones de inteligencia se relacionan con el grado de contacto cultural de quien la define.
