	Intelligence - MSN Encarta
		Intelligence draws on a variety of mental processes, including memory, learning, perception, decision-making, thinking, and reasoning.
		Most intelligence researchers define intelligence as what is measured by intelligence tests, but some scholars argue that this definition is inadequate and that intelligence is whatever abilities are valued by one’s culture.
		In recent years, a number of theorists have argued that standard intelligence tests measure only a portion of the human abilities that could be considered aspects of intelligence.

		Unlike previous intelligence tests, which required an examiner to test and interact with each person individually, the Army Alpha and Beta exams were administered to large groups of recruits at the same time.
		Because intelligence tests frequently include these same areas of knowledge, many experts believe that it is impossible to distinguish between intelligence tests, achievement tests, and aptitude tests.
		Before an intelligence test can be used to make meaningful comparisons, the test makers first give the test to a sample of the population representative of the individuals for whom the test is designed.

	Anxiety Zone - Intelligence quotient
		An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from a set of standardized tests that were developed with the purpose of measuring a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group.
		The term "intelligence quotient" comes from Binet's test, in which each student's score was the quotient of his or her tested academic age with his or her actual age.
		...the abstraction of intelligence as a single entity, its location within the brain, its quantification as one number for each individual, and the use of these numbers to rank people in a single series of worthiness, invariably to find that oppressed and disadvantaged groups—races, classes, or sexes—are innately inferior and deserve their status.

		Intelligence researchers have discovered that people with bigger brains are smarter than their smaller-brained counterparts, according to a news release published by the Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA on June 17, 2005
		Intelligence Tests as far as a measure of human intelligence is concerned often just show that you are good at passing one type of culturally-specific intelligence testing regime.
		Intelligence Quotients are therefore only part of the picture - there are many factors besides their Intelligence Quotient that contribute to success.

		Intelligence is not something that can be bought off the shelf and its analysis requires uncommon rigour and discipline.
		Intelligence agencies are like restricted clubs, elitist and exclusive in many ways, which cannot afford to have nasty little sub-groups plotting against each other.
		But an intelligence agency loses its way if this reform is carried out by those who neither understand the system, nor empathise with it, or suspect it for its secret ways, or have a pre-determined agenda and are, at times, hostile to it.

		The concordance of intelligence is not presented because it changes with the different studies.
		Intelligence is a continuous variable of Nature, which complicates the quantitative research of its heritability.

	What Is Your Emotional Intelligence Quotient
		Given that emotional intelligence is so popular in corporate America, and given that the concept is a psychological one, it is important for I/O psychologists to understand what it really means and to be aware of the research and theory on which it is based.
		They described emotional intelligence as "a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action".
		In fact, one of his main points was that the abilities associated with emotional intelligence have been studied by psychologists for many years, and there is an impressive, and growing, body of research suggesting that these abilities are important for success in many areas of life.

		Binet created the concept of "mental age," according to which the test performance of a child of average intelligence would match his or her age, while a gifted child's performance would be on par with that of an older child, and a slow learner's abilities would be equal to those of a younger child.
		The Wechsler Intelligence Scales, developed in 1949 by David Wechsler, addressed an issue that still provokes criticism of IQ tests today: the fact that there are different types of intelligence.
		Given the proliferation of recent theories about the nature of intelligence, many psychologists have disagreed with Herrnstein and Murray's central assumptions that intelligence is measurable by IQ tests, that it is genetically based, and that a person's IQ essentially remains unchanged over time.

		An IQ test does not measure intelligence the way a ruler measures height (absolutely), but rather the way a race measures speed (relatively); IQ is described as a "quotient" because, originally, it represented the ratio between a person's "mental age" and actual chronological age.
		The term "intelligence quotient," in which each student's score was the quotient of his or her tested mental age with his or her actual age, was adopted by Terman from a 1912 proposal by German psychologist William Stern.

	Intelligence and IQ
		Originally, it was a quotient (a ratio): IQ= MA/CA x 100 [MA is mental age, CA is chronological age].
		Most of the normal curve of intelligence, I believe, is due to a variety of physiological impairments of brain efficiency, such as that resulting from malnourishment, prenatal trauma, chromosomal damage, and, most often, simple inheritance of certain neurochemical makeups.
		Some things -- street smarts, common sense, and social intelligence, for example -- are “specializations” of intelligence, just like academic intelligence is. Other things -- like musical ability or kinesthetic abilities or artistic abilities -- are talents in their own right, and not new kinds of intelligence.

		Some of those with fabulous IQ scores were doing poorly in life; one could say that they were wasting their potential by thinking, behaving and communicating in a way that hindered their chances to succeed.
		One of the major missing parts in the success equation is emotional intelligence, a concept made popular by the groundbreaking book by Daniel Goleman, which is based on years of research by numerous scientists such as Peter Salovey, John Meyer, Howard Gardner, Robert Sternberg and Jack Block, just to name a few.
		For various reasons and thanks to a wide range of abilities, people with high emotional intelligence tend to be more successful in life than those with lower EIQ even if their classical IQ is average.

		Originally, IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, was used to detect persons of lower intelligence, and to detect children of lower intelligence in order to place them in special education programs.
		The first IQ tests were designed to compare a child's intelligence to what his or her intelligence "should be" as compared to the child's age.
		So today we compare an adult's objective results to the objective results of other adults, and determine how intelligent each test taker is compared to all other test takers, instead of comparing test takers to an arbitrary age related standard.
