Document Summary

Think back to the example of leilani muir who faced the greatest of difficulty getting pregnant. Seeking a solution/explanation, she came to know that her fallopian tubes were destroyed; causing permanent sterilization. Muir"s fallopian tubes were destroyed in the event of a failed intelligence test which resulted in her forced sterilization. The act of forced sterilization became a legislation in many areas and was passed if a person was genetically unfit for reproduction. Due to her presumed low iq, she underwent an appendix removal (to her knowledge), from which she"s unaware she"s also sterilized. The moral of muir"s story is that it is important to measure accurately, especially in science. Difficult to define the term intelligence on its own. Here, we will look at the many strategies + social consequences which have resulted from intelligence testing. Different approaches to intelligence testing: intelligence and perception: The era of interest in measuring intelligence stems from galton.
