[quote=Anonymous][quote]The point you keep missing is that IQ tests are not the same thing as intelligence. IQ tests attempt to give an approximation of intelligence, and IQ test scores correlate to some extent with academic performance, [b]but IQ TESTS AND INTELLIGENCE ARE NOT THE SAME THING[/b]!! So yes, you can improve a child's score through preparation but that does not make the child more intelligent. And yes, you can improve intelligence through enrichment, challenge, etc., but that is not the same as prepping for an IQ test. [/quote] I wonder what is intelligence? Please help me understand this concept. You seem to understand. Can intelligence be measured? How can intelligence be measured? Is intelligence fixed (like our everpresent and omnipotent GOD)? What is an IQ test? What does the IQ test measure? Can one improve the score on an IQ test but not improve intelligence? Are Asian American children more intelligent than others in the DC area?
