Yes, planning and control involve intellectual tasks as they require critical thinking, analysis, problem-solving, and decision-making to effectively manage resources, anticipate risks, and achieve organizational goals. These tasks often involve evaluating different options, creating strategies, and adjusting plans as needed based on changing circumstances.
All of those choices involve doing intellectual tasks. But of the choices, "planning or organizing" is the purest for mostly being done mostly in the mind. Even when we write out a plan, our minds have to organize it. And to organize anything requires thinking. But as I said, ALL of them use intellect and mental skills. For example, I can't manage well if I haven't thought about who I'm managing, their skills and weaknesses. Likewise, I can't delegate unless I think about what needs done and which person has the skills to do it. And often, you only figure out what needs delegated AFTER thinking through the plan, the actions, and outcomes you want. So planning is certainly intellectual, though the planning and control can be shared tasks among a group of people.
Planning: refers to the setting of goals,objectives and strategies of a organization.
According to Spearman's theory, performance in intellectual tasks is determined by a general mental ability factor called "g" or general intelligence. This factor influences overall cognitive functioning and is thought to underlie performance on diverse intellectual tasks.
Because in planning various alternatives are evaluated and the most suitable is selected which again requires higher level of intellegence.So,its is right to call planning an intellectual process.

The Structured Observation of Intellectual Functioning (SOIFE) is a tool used by psychologists to assess intellectual functioning through structured observations of a person's behavior in specific tasks. It provides insights into an individual's cognitive abilities, such as attention, memory, problem-solving, and reasoning skills, to help in diagnostic evaluations and treatment planning.
