How does IQ test actually work?
In: Biology
Alot of good answers here, but I think the key to keep in mind is to ask the question, “What is intelligence?” If intelligence is how well or how efficiently you can solve certain puzzles or problems then our current method for testing and measurement makes sense. But in reality, intelligence is far more complex than that, and thus our manner of measurement is not all that accurate. There’s still debate as to how we define intelligence and how we therefore measure it. At the end of the day, we don’t have a better solution to this problem so our current IQ testing is the best we have, but there are some interesting arguments being made for new ways of defining and measuring IQ.
