IQ Tests :: Triarchic Theory, Intelligence, Success

To what extent do you agree that IQ bear witnesss are a meaningful measure of light?IntroductionThere is much debate about IQ tests. There are many definitions of recognition and no one agreed on a specific definition. Triarchic theory one of definitions which is describe intelligence categories in three aspects involved analytical, creative and practical (Sternbery, 1958). Some researches emphasize that IQ tests are nonmeaningful and measures intelligence as Cohen (1991) believes that IQ rafts can predict if people success in school and work or not. However, other researches argue that IQ tests is meaningless and it not possible to determined intelligence. For example, Rawat (2001) clime that IQ scores are affected by many factors. As a result, people could not depended on IQ results. This essay will argue that taking IQ tests as a measures of intelligence is insignificant. Although, it also might present some benefits. In order to demonstrate this the essay first will discuss I Q scores are able to change and it is not a good step to depend on. Second, it will argue that there are many factors affected on intelligence such as heredity and socio-economic factors. Moreover, it will show the differences amongst success and intelligence. Furthermore, it will focus on using IQ tests to discriminate between people. 1. High IQ scores do not prove intelligenceOne of the reasons of IQ tests are meaningless is the obtaining high scores in the IQ test is not enough of measuring intelligence. According to Rawat (2001) high scores in the IQ test do not mean someone is intelligent. Furthermore, Chon (1991) point out people can change IQ scores when they gravel the test more than once, also they could know the main idea of the test, how the test works, what procedures, how they can answer the questions. As a result, they can change their scores to a high level by preparation. Indeed, it could not be a good criterion of measure of intelligence because the result is not fixed and always changes. Goleman (1998) and Salovey and Mayer (1990) conjure that emotional intelligence is the important ability to express and understand emotional knowledge. As a result, IQ scores cannot be accounted by IQ test because it could not support and covered the emotional intelligences side. Therefore, it seems clear that attaining high scores in the IQ tests are not reliable results and cannot evaluate intelligence significantly.2. disparate factors can affect intelligence
