Document Summary
Generally agreement that in includes these building blocks: mental speed: simple reaction time test --> how quickly you do things. Pressing the space bar whenever a plus sign appears: working memory and attention. Keeping tracks of multiple bits of information for later retrieval. Keeping the goal in mind whilst doing the tasks. Saying the color of the word rather the word itself. Pressing the space bar on the x whenever it is preceded by a y. How often you take tests in general --> experience. Iq = (mental age / chronological age) x 100. This is not the way we measure iq today. Find the people who needed help in school. Mental age: how well did they do compared to other people that age. If the mental age is higher than the chronological age, you usually have a higher iq than normal. Broad, generalized entity that tests have in common.
