 Intelligence quotient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from a set of standardized tests developed to measure a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group.
Tests are designed so that the distribution of IQ scores is Gaussian, that is to say that it follows a bell curve.
Tests also differ in their g-loading, which is the degree to which the test score reflects general mental ability rather than a specific skill or "group factor" such as verbal ability, spatial visualization, or mathematical reasoning).

 Scientific American Presents: Feature Article: The General Intelligence Factor: November 1998
The debate over intelligence and intelligence testing focuses on the question of whether it is useful or meaningful to evaluate people according to a single major dimension of cognitive competence.
Intelligence as measured by IQ tests is the single most effective predictor known of individual performance at school and on the job.

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.

 Police face intelligence test - vnunet.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The problem concerns the national intelligence database, and efforts to ensure that police forces can be alerted to information collected in any region, so that the kind of mistakes that allowed Ian Huntley to kill Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman will not be repeated after the system goes live in 2005.
Because the UK does not have a national police force, the individual forces sharing the intelligence information are in much the same position as a confederation of direct marketing companies seeking to amalgamate a collection of contact databases.

 the Turing test and intelligence - abelard
Intelligence is not merely ‘there’ or ‘not there’, but presents on a continuum in which we are potentially able to make distinctions.
As such, intelligence may be regarded as inherent in every object down to the level of stimulus-response, or even the ‘equal’ and opposite reaction of Newton’s descriptions.
While discussing the intelligence of machines, Turing, in his paper, even suggests injecting ‘irrationality’ into the functioning of a computer aimed at emulating human intelligence.

Presumably, this is because advocates of the intelligence reform bill understand a simple reality: The only way their legislation — or at least some of its most dubious provisions — could become law is if Congress were denied the opportunity fully to consider and debate such "reforms."
Hunter redoubled his campaign against, among other provisions, the bill's transfer of direction and budgetary authority over defense intelligence programs from the defense secretary to a newly created director of national intelligence.
The president, the nation's security and that of the American people will be better served if intelligence reform is undertaken next year in a more deliberative, patient and orderly way.
