  1. Intelligence Bell Curve

  2. Where did those numbers come from? Individuals who wanted to quantify intelligence for specific purposes. • Francis Galton wanted to quantify superiority so could selectively breed superior people? • Alfred Binet created a test to objectively identify children with special needs. • Lewis Terman created a test to administer to newly arriving “feeble” immigrants. • Lets try some. Remote associations test and uses test. Which one more accurately accesses “intelligence?”

  3. You have exactly 2 minutes to… • Write down how life would be different if we all had three arms instead of two.

  4. Considerations • Is this (or other tests) fair? • Would a person from another culture be at a disadvantage? (if it is not culture-free, then it is not a true measurement of intelligence) • Do they measure achievement (access what you have learned) or aptitude (predicting your ability to learn)?

  5. Does a standard IQ test miss anything? Gardener says yes. He says the traditional verbal/spatial testing in too limited. He proposed a list of 9 intelligences: • Verbal/linguistic intelligence • Logical-mathematical intelligence • Visual-spatial intelligence • Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (dances and athletes) • Musical-rhythmic intelligence • Interpersonal intelligence (sensitivity to other people’s feelings) • Intrapersonal intelligence (insight into one’s own inner feelings) • Naturalist intelligence (understanding of nature and the laws that govern natural behavior) • Existential intelligence (insight into the larger philosophical issues of life).

  6. Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory • Analytical intelligence (the type of intelligence we use in academic courses) • Creative intelligence • Practical intelligence

  7. Emotional Intelligence • Self-awareness: the ability to recognize our own feelings. • Mood management: the ability to distract oneself form an uncomfortable feeling. • Self-motivation: the ability to move ahead with confidence and enthusiasm. • Impulse control: the ability to delay pleasure until the task at hand has been accomplished. • People skills: the ability to empathize, understand, communicate, and cooperate with others. I already tested yours! “skinny marshmallow” test and facial recognition.

  8. My perspective as a teacher • IQ can account for as little as 10% of a person’s success at work. • I’ve seen a lot of brilliant young minds that ended up…

  9. Conclusion • Text definition of intelligence: the abilities to learn from experience, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with others. • How would you rate your own intelligence now? (high, medium, low)
