IQ Level – Who Cares?

| Total Words: 396

What is your IQ level? What is “intelligence quotient anyhow? The American Heritage Dictionary defines it as “The ratio of tested mental age to chronological age, usually expressed as a quotient multiplied by 100.” More or less, it’s a test of intelligence, with 100 as the average score. IQ tests have some problems however.

One IQ test asks which of four fruits is different. It’s the one with more than one seed, but what if you weren’t familiar with these fruits? The test is culturally biased, because it assumes certain knowledge, yet is supposed to test for intelligence, not knowledge.

Look at these letters: “ANLDEGN.” Rearrange them to spell the name of a(n): Ocean, Country, State, City or Animal. Tests are timed, so I start with oceans, since there are few oceans, and thus I can eliminate these quickly. The problem is that this is a test taking technique I use, and an intelligence test shouldn’t be testing test-taking ability. I’ll score higher than a person of equal intelligence who hasn’t learned simple techniques for scoring higher on multiple-choice tests, right?
