Social Sciences - Human Resources / Headhunting
Spanish term or phrase: capacidad intelectual
XXXX denota una capacidad intelectual acorde a las necesidades del cargo en referencia.
-----


The paragraph above is from the psychological evaluation of a candidate for a senior management position.

"Capacidad intelectual" means "brain power," but I would rather say "intellectual ability".

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated :)
