Study Notes
Measuring Intelligence
- Morphological and behavioral patterns were explored by Francis Galton (1822-1911) to measure intelligence, but his ideas were eventually discredited due to inaccuracies and discriminatory ideologies.
- Galton's concept of 'reaction times' as a metric for cognitive ability is still used today.
- The Binet-Simon Test (1912) was developed to understand how school children develop cognitively, identifying those who need support.
Binet-Simon Test
- The test measures three aspects of intelligence: Judgment, Comprehension, and Reasoning.
- The test was supported by the French Government and developed by Alfred Binet (1857-1911) and Theodore Simon (1873-1961).
Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale
- Lewis Terman (1873-1961) adapted the Binet-Simon Test for an American audience, standardizing it with a mean IQ of 100.
- The test measures five cognitive abilities.
WISC and WAIS (1955)
- These tests emerged in response to criticisms of the Stanford-Binet Test.
- David Wechsler (1896-1981) developed WISC and WAIS, focusing on different aspects of intelligence (s-factors) rather than a single concept of general intelligence (g-factor).
Emotional Intelligence
- There are two main approaches to Emotional Intelligence: Ability-EI (performance-based measures) and Trait-EI (self-reports of emotional intelligence).
- Research suggests that Ability-EI may be associated with the g-factor, while Trait-EI may be measuring aspects of personality traits.
IQ Research and Mental Health
- People with high IQ are more prone to affective and mood disorders, such as Seasonal Affective Disorders, MDD, and Bipolarism.
- There is ongoing debate about the relationship between IQ, emotional intelligence, and mental health.
Practical Challenges of Implementing IQ Tests
- IQ tests are prone to practice effects, especially in the lower ranges.
- Cultural differences can impact test results, but culturespecific tests can minimize this effect.
- IQ tests are not suitable for certain groups, such as individuals with moderate to severe attention deficiencies.
- Pop psychology versions of IQ tests are not regarded as true measures of intelligence.
Validity and Reliability
- Current versions of IQ tests have high validity and reliability.
Jensen Effect and Flynn Effect
- Arthur Jensen (1923-2012) provided evidence for the association between IQ scores and individual qualities, such as family income, socioeconomic status, and academic success.
- The Flynn Effect refers to the substantial and long-sustained increase in both fluid and crystallized intelligence test scores measured in many parts of the world over the 20th century.
