=HUMAN INTELIGENCE=

//﻿BY GERARDO ARROYO//
====﻿Inteligent test began in Earnest France .**IQ**, an abbreviation for "intelligence quotient", is a score derived from a set of test that were developed with the purpose of measuring a person's [|cognitive abilities]in relation to one's age group. It is expressed as a number normalized so that the average IQ in an age group is 100 in other words an individual scoring 115 is above-average when compared to similarly aged people. It is usual, but not invariable, practice to standardise so that the standard deviation of scores is 15. Tests are designed so that the distribution of IQ scores is more-or-less Gaussian, that is to say that it follows the bell curve. Scores on a given test in a given population have tended to rise across time throughout the history of IQ testing ([|the Flynn effect]), so that tests need repeated renormalisation if these standards are to be maintained.====

Testing the intelligence began in France. Psychologist[| Alfred Binet]in 1904 was commissioned by Government to find a method differentiating between children intellec ﻿ tually normal and those with inferior intelligence. The pur ﻿ pose of this was to put level students in special schools. This would help each child receive individualize attention and suppose to avoid disruption of the mentally normal children. The Phsycologist, developed a test called the[| Binet-Scale]or also called Simon-Binet Scale in recognition to Theophile Simon who assisted Binet in its development. The test made children perform different ta ﻿ sks such as naming objects, follow directions, copy patterns, put things in order and arrange things in order. The Psycologysts Binet and Scale put the test on children around 8 years old in different Paris schools which created the standard based data. IQ stands for “intelligence quotient”. The IQ of a person is the relation between “mental age” and chronological age being 100 the average score, meaning that if a 8 year old scores high on the 10 year old test has an IQ of 10/8x100, or 125.
