Intelligence tests are believed to measure intelligence, IQ, and converted into a numeric score. IQ is the cognitive processes, knowledge to solve problems, and reach goals (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Intelligence varies with each culture as well. The bell curve theory explains that a normal supply of IQ scores is generally divided into three substantial categories, which are people with low, average, and high IQ scores (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). Intelligence scores generated by the bell curve can show that people with high IQs are usually lawyers, doctors, scientists, and so forth (Shiraev & Levy, 2010). The bells curve also explains that people who have low IQs are more likely to be convicts criminals single mothers, drug addicts, and high-school failures, and so on (Shiraev & Levy, 2010).…
There are other factors that come into play, such as creativity. Give two children a test of how many ways a brick could be used and you will find that even if they have the same IQ score, one may come up with apile more uses than the other. High intelligences as measured by IQ do not essentially lead to success. Samantha Duncan wrote, “Outliers are "normal" people born with a certain drive and work ethic, but who also encounter extreme luck throughout their lives”. This is true to some point it stands alone. People are born with a certain drive and work ethic, but get lucky through out their lives. Some take advantage…
(handout) The four domains are: self- awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. Each of these domains includes essential evidence that emotional intelligence is included in a child’s development. With self-awareness this includes the beliefs and awareness of their own emotions. Becoming aware of emotions and behaviors at an early age will continue to help the child be able to express emotions in a constructive way. In regards to self-management positive or negative ways a child handles or expresses emotions demonstrates their understanding for emotions. If a child has a difficult time in this area, it could result in negative formations of future relationships. In social awareness having the ability to nonverbally communicate is another essential way for children to communicate. Children often act on impulses which restrains them from being able to express or identify emotions of another person. Creating empathy to understand the basic emotional needs of their self and another person’s as well. Correspondingly in management of a relationship, empathy will support in developing positive conflict resolutions. In a child’s perspective the common way of expressing an emotion is based on how they perceive their own emotion, in opposing the other’s feelings. Therefore helping to maintain positive and supporting…
IQ tests are often inaccurate. They do not test perception. They also don't account for abstract thinkers. IQ tests are very limited. They do not test how people see things, while a very brilliant person may not be able to construct a building out of legos. They might be able to postulate the theories of the universe but are so inarticulate they can't carry on a conversation for more than a few seconds. Their mind maybe a fantastic place of formulas and ingenious plans but they're trapped there, unable to be conveyed to others or vise versa.…
Today, it is generally believed that procuring academic results are not only primarily determined by higher intelligence but also by the higher emotional intelligence of students. Research has demonstrated that an individual‘s emotional intelligence is often a more accurate predictor of success than the individual‘s IQ. No matter how intellectually intelligent someone is, their success is still governed by how well they communicate their ideas and interact with their peers. Emotional Intelligence has been found a reliable predictor of academic achievement than general…
“ ‘Knowledge of a boy’s IQ is of little help if you are faced with a forkful of clever boys’ ”-Hudson (Gladwell 84). An IQ threshold suggests that after a certain amount a higher IQ does not correlate to success. This introduces the aspect of individual merit into success in regards to hard work. Until reading this book I have believed my successes to be a culmination of my own efforts.…
The term "emotional intelligence" debuted in several scientific articles written by John D. Mayer and Peter Salovey during the early 1990s. Emotional intelligence is defined as the compilation of four kinds of skills: perceiving and expressing emotions, understanding emotions, using emotions, and managing emotions.…
Another big difference between emotional intelligence (EQ) and IQ is that it measures how you manage and react with other people. To lead or create a successful business, you need to be able to have effective and efficient workers to do your work. To do this effectively, you have to get people working together harmoniously and this requires you to manage many people's emotions. A high emotional intelligent person can manage this efficiently compared to a low EQ person. IQ test cannot test this.…
The study of individual differences in ability in psychology is one of the very oldest areas of psychology. Test assessing individual differences in mental ability have been of great practical value in occupational, industrial and educational psychology. The psychology of ability is one of the 4 main branches of individual differences, the others being personality, mood, and motivation. The term “mental ability” or “intelligence” is used to describe a person’s performance on some task that has a substantial information-processing component when the person is trying to perform the task as well as possible. Tests of ability involve thinking, rather than remembering and reflect how well individuals can process various types of information. Intelligence can be described as a multifaceted capacity that manifests itself in a different way across the lifespan, but in general includes the abilities and capacities to acquire and apply knowledge, to reason logically, to plan effectively, to infer perceptively, to exhibit sound judgment and problem-solving ability, to grasp and visualize concepts, to be mentally alert and intuitive, and to be able to find the right words and thoughts with facility, and to be able to cope, adjust, and make the most of new situations. You should measure well-motivated people that try to do their best at the tasks. Mental abilities reflect cognitive processes and skills which are partly developed during education or training. Therefore, it is difficult to assess without taking educational background and interests into consideration. So what is intelligence.. In our own intuitive understanding of what is intelligence, we might say that someone who is intelligent is able to make logical reasonable decisions, to size up situations quickly and well, has read extensively, and comes up with good ideas. It's not a simple thing to come up with a definition of intelligence that will satisfy everyone. For our purposes, though, we'll use…
The Stanford-Binet measures five factors of cognitive ability: Fluid Reasoning, Knowledge, Quantitative Reasoning, Visual-Spatial Processing, and Working Memory. Each of these factors is tested in two separate domains, verbal and nonverbal” (Stanford-Binet). This test uses a single number to represent the individual’s score. This is known as the individual’s intelligence quotient (IQ). This score was calculated by dividing the test taker’s mental age by their chronological age, and then multiplying this number by 100. For example, a child with a mental age of 12 and a chronological age of 10 would have an IQ of 120 (12/10 x 100) (Cherry). So what do your scores mean? An IQ score of 130 or higher indicates a high score. From gifted to genius and then extraordinary genius. It is thought that those with a higher IQ score tend to exhibit perseverance, the desire to excel in life and great will power. However, not all individuals with high IQ scores are destined to be great. Creativity and personality traits are not measured and thus can turn a genius into a bum later on in life. It is also known that individuals with higher IQ scores tend to have more social problems and can lead to social isolation, anxiety amongst other issues later in life. Also, research indicates that those that are highly gifted are not necessary gifted in all aspects.…
Currently it is generally accepted in most western countries that the IQ test is a direct basis for determining intelligence however it does not measure all the different aspects, which should be taken into consideration when a persons intelligence is being gauged. IQ" stands for "intelligence quotient." A person's IQ is supposed to be a measure of that person's intelligence: the higher the IQ number, the greater the intelligence. This is inaccurate, however, since it assumes that there is only one kind of intelligence. Most people recognize that there are some people with fantastic memories, some with mathematical minds, some with musical genius, some with mechanical expertise, some with good vocabularies. Some people naturally excel at more than one of these behaviours. It would be more accurate to speak of human intelligences than of intelligence. An IQ test, therefore, should be considered a measure of some kinds of intelligence, but not all. The most accurate…
Wastewaters are waterborne solids and liquids discharged to the sewers and represent the wastewater of community life. In composition wastewater includes dissolved and suspended organic solids, which are "putrescible" or biologically decomposable. Domestic wastewater also contains countless numbers of living organisms -- bacteria and other microorganisms whose life activities cause the process of decomposition. When decay proceeds under anaerobic conditions, that is, in the absence of dissolved oxygen in the wastewater, offensive conditions result and odors and unsightly appearances are produced. When decay proceeds under aerobic conditions, that is, in the presence of dissolved oxygen, offensive conditions are avoided and the treatment process is greatly accelerated.…
