=Human Intelligence=

By: Jehosafat Cabrera

 * The humanity has been inventing and manufacturing things for lots of years. So much that sooner or later someone will come to some sort of idea that will revolutionate the whole world or part of it. This happened to [|Alfred Binet]who was the inventor or came up to the idea of the **[|IQ Tests]**. IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient which is kind of a form to measure the intelligence of the people. Most of the people wonder why were they invented? or why did the population came up with this idea? Well, many people have a sort of answer but no answer has been prooved that is right. They are more like hypothesis or unknown ideas. In this essay we will discuss why the IQ tests were invented and his importance in the world. I hope you enjoy this little tour.

Most people think that IQ tests were invented to find intelligent people, so that the could help defend important nations and also to develop new technology for the humanity. But when people view the reality, the point of view of the people changed, they said that the IQ test was to find "stupid" people to make nothing more than trash. The IQ test had a great impact in society because now "ignorant" people did not wanted to work and they just found someone intelligent to do their work. They started to became lazyer. || ||
 * Alfred Binet, developed a test to "accurately" predict academic success when the French government asked him to help them determine which children in the public schools would have difficulty with the education. He, and his pal, Theodore Simon, found that tests of practical knowledge, memory, reasoning, vocabulary, and problem solving were better predictors of school success than the sensory tests used by Galton. Subjects were asked to perform simple commands and [|gestures], repeat spoken numbers, name objects in pictures, define common words, tell how two objects are different, and define abstract terms. Similar items are used in today's intelligence tests. || [[image:Free-IQ-Test-And-Free-Results.gif width="132" height="128"]] ||

In my opinion the defenition of intelligence is blind. It really doesnt exist for me, it is just something that the people uses in the m,ind that is very complicatwed to understand. The mind is very complex and the scince ied so it will be difficult to undersatnd intelligence at 100%. The defenition for intelligence for me is a form of life that is active or inavtive depending of the situaion involved. media type="file" key="FÃ¼r Elise (Piano version).mp3"
