Learning from Experience C.S. Lewis once said‚ “Experience: that most brutal of teacher.

Sociology 1301 1B What is a Human Being: Option B After completing both the 1917 IQ test and the Mensa Workout IQ test I would have to say that to some extent they do provide some level of accurate measurement of intelligence. Most of the pictures in the 1917 test seem to as if they would be common sense.
