The issue of IQ seems to apply only where it is part of a selection criteria.So even though it can be predictably reliable it may not be valid as an intelligence criteria.To me intelligence is the ability to adapt to existing environments.Academia is an existing that demands subjects specific skills.Intervening variables such as time constraints,motivation,persistence,and the ability to self-correct may be important variables. I suspect that differential IQ rates may be more a function of brain activity.After all,a slow learner still learns. But intelligence is not confined to paper-pencil or clicking tasks. I consider the enumeration of intelligence to IQ and the Spearman g as Reductionistic Eurocentric Cognitive Imperialism.Interestingly though,the Chinese were the first to locate the area of the black box of Malaysian flight 370 with a cheap hand held device.We should keep in mind that it is not how smart you are but how are you smart. michael --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
