3. Discussion: Intelligence
How can intelligence be measured?
IQ tests, Standardized test, personality tests, success in life, emotionally/socially mature, etc.
But scoring well on an IQ test doesn’t predict success, nor does a relatively average or lower score predict a life of misery. “That’s because having a high IQ is like owning a car with a big engine”, said David Lubinksi, psychologist and co-director of the Study of Mathematically Precocious Youth at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. “If there’s no gas in your car you’re not going to go anywhere. If road conditions are bad, you’re not going to go anywhere,” he said. In the case of intelligence, you need good health, hard work and motivation to take advantage of inherent brainpower.
