April 30, 2011New evidence that IQ is not set in stoneEver since there have been IQ tests, people have debated what they actually measure. Is it "intelligence", is it an abstract combination of mental abilities, or is it, as Edwin Boring said, "the capacity to do well in an intelligence test"? Regardless of the answer, studies have repeatedly shown that people who achieve higher scores in IQ tests are more likely to do well in school, perform well in their jobs, earn more money, avoid criminal convictions, and even live longer. Say what you like about the tests, but they have predictive power.Posted by Jim Zellmer at April 30, 2011 1:35 AM Subscribe to this site via RSS/Atom: ![]() Comments
