★Intension is the set of attributes a term connotes.
★As intension grows, more defining qualities are added and the class narrows.
★Dairy product has the fewest attributes and the widest extension.
★Cheese adds the attribute of being a cheese, then soft cheese adds softness.
★Strong soft cheese adds the most attributes, so it has the greatest intension.
