Human intelligence is a very important research. How intelligent a person is tells you a lot. It can tell you many things, from the way people act, to some information of the person’s genes. Scientists measure intelligence running several different tests. Did you know that you can tell someone’s intelligence by their perspective of a ink dot? And because of the importance in measuring intelligence I’m researching about it.  According to Brody, Nathan (2011) the main idea about this subject is intelligence research is important to scientists because it helps them understand humans results of the tests taken. Some facts that support this idea are: People who do well on vocabulary tests tend to be good at verbal analogy. And people who do well on one kind of spatial tests tend to do well in other tests. A person that solves jigsaw puzzles often tends to be more intelligent since puzzles help you with the ability of solving any problem. Intelligence also infers in the way of thinking of a person. A person well educated will think differently than a person that has never received education. But not only does education influences intelligence, genes and the person’s surroundings do too. The environment of a person influence by the way the person will react or think about what is happening around them.

 A third article “The Measure of Intelligence” sates that to scientists it is really important to study and measure human intelligence, since people’s abilities changes according to their intelligence. Some facts that support this idea are: An intelligent person is the one with the abilities of verbal comprehension, world fluency. They have the ability to handle spatial relationships, number ability, memorizing, perceptual ability, and reasoning. Scientist find out about human’s intelligence by running several ability tests. As some scientists says one of the several definitions there are of intelligence is the common element in the set of diverse measures constructed to sample an individual’s reasoning and thinking skills and the ability to use good judgment. || VIDEO FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ^

Some facts that support this idea are: They’re very different because intelligence is sometimes reality independent while genius is not dependent extraordinary intelligence. To be considered as a genius you must have a 140 or 175+ score on a IQ test if not you’re not a genius, you’re just smart. The definition of the word ‘genius’ by the Romans is, somebody’s natural excitement for an activity. Some people simply think that being a genius is just being really intelligent and having a lot of creativity. You can measure creative genius when people are able count the number of themes published. People think that because you’re a genius you can do everything and that you’re perfect. Well geniuses a no where near perfect. There is not such a thing as perfection. Even geniuses make imaginary friends and just because you’re smart do not mean you have social intelligence.



 I found four main ideas about Human Intelligence. Intelligence is a very important factor of life. People measure intelligence to find out about human’s behavior and abilities. The main ideas are different from each other because each of them talk about different things/ one talks about intelligence in general and the other talks about genius.  In conclusion, my research shows that studying and measuring human intelligence is very important because it helps scientists and physiologists understand human. || ||
 * Yet another idea from the article “The Brain” (2011), is that a certain part of the brain is the one that has control of the intelligence of a person. Some facts that support this idea are: As most of the people know you think with your brain. But there is just one specific part of the brain that is thought to control someone’s intelligence. That part of the brain is called the Cerebral Cortex. The cerebral cortex is located in the front of your brain, right were your forehead is. Sadly the cerebral cortex starts to gets thinner as you get older and some people believe that that’s the reason the older you get the less you can remember.

**WHAT: ****<span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">intelligence is defined as a set of specialized abilities. Could be defined as the common element present in the set of diverse measures contracted to sample an individual’s reasoning and making skills. **

**<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">WHY: ****<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">people study intelligence to know how humans think. Also to know a humans behavior, because intelligence is a great influence in the results of every human activity. ** **<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">WHO: ****<span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">Louis L. Thurstone (1887-1955) he believed that intelligence consist in specific factors, called primary mental abilities. **

**<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">WHEN: ****<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">the IQ test was invented in the middle of the 18 thousands by Alfred binet. **

**<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">WHERE: ****<span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">on the several universities like Strafford. **

**<span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">HOW: ****<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Century Gothic','sans-serif';">people study intelligence by testing human’s ability running several tests. People who do well on vocabulary tests tend to be good at verbal analogy. And people who do well on one kind of spatial tests tent to do well in other tests. ** || ||
