文章大意:讲IQ和gifted children。IQ测试是德国心理学家William Stern于1912年设计的。介绍了某位教授做的相关实验和大家的争议。教授宣称做这种测试很困难,因为有时候受比较多的因素影响。他并没有采用一般reading skill, math 以及传统方法来进行智商的测量。
测试发现:有好的culture background 的孩子成绩较好;家庭富裕的孩子比家庭比较poor的孩子要好。
教授宣称该测试只是一个参考。但这种手段成为了popular 的手段使用在包括school, recruitment in army, 就象身高、体重成为了一个人的指标。很多儿童因此而受到了不好的影响(limited by the line)。
一些专家提出了观点说其他的ability也是很重要的,而且IQ test 无法解释Einstein之类的人为什么那么有天分。
对一个人来说除了intelligence以外还有性格等各方面的因素。最后文章评判了孩子不应只以IQ为判断标准。
