IQ Tests :: Triarchic Theory, Intelligence, Success

To what extent do you agree that IQ tests are a meaningful measure of intelligence?Introduction on that point is much debate about IQ tests. There are numerous definitions of intelligence and no one agreed on a particular proposition definition. Triarchic theory one of definitions which is describe intelligence categories in three aspects involve analytical, creative and practical (Sternbery, 1958). Some researches emphasize that IQ tests are mindless and measures intelligence as Cohen (1991) believes that IQ gain can predict if state success in school and work or non. However, other researches compete that IQ tests is meaningless and it not possible to determined intelligence. For example, Rawat (2001) clime that IQ tons are walk outed by many factors. As a result, people could not depended on IQ results. This essay give make do that taking IQ tests as a measures of intelligence is insignificant. Although, it also capacity present some benefits. In order to demonstrate this the essay firstly will discuss IQ hit are able to counter commute and it is not a good criterion to depend on. Second, it will contend that there are many factors affected on intelligence much(prenominal) as heredity and socio-economic factors. Moreover, it will show the differences between success and intelligence. Furthermore, it will focus on using IQ tests to discriminate between people. 1. gritty IQ scores do not prove intelligence one 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 somebody is intelligent. Furthermore, Chon (1991) point out people can change IQ scores when they take the test more than once, also they could know the main paper 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) mention that emotional intelligence is the important aptitude to express and understand emotional knowledge. As a result, IQ scores cannot be accounted by IQ test because it could not support and cover 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. Different factors can affect intelligence
