Document Summary
Solving problems, how we actually use intelligence in daily life. What are multiple definitions of intelligence: expressed in different domains. Iq, but you don"t use it, it"s not meaningful. Intelligence is defined and shaped by culture: changes overtime, takes many forms. What is the psychometric approach: sir francis galton. Iq of 100 is average: method used to compare test scores of intelligence, we don"t really use this anymore. Include other things like spacial ability, performance aspects. Iq tests are completely biased (based on culture etc: our culture views the world in different ways and these differences are hard to identify. This is reasonable because the test is actually based on academics: once it suggests love life, math, languages etc, it is not a good test. : not looking at specific skills on tests (depends on practice), but: multiple intelligences, when we meet someone face to face, we are influenced by clothes, language, etc.
