I.Q. (intelligence quotient), in general, is an assessment of your

ability to think and reason. IQ score is a standardized way of

comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as

you are. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in

your general age group that you have basically an average

intelligence. Most psychologists would say those scoring in a range

of 95 to 105 are of a normal intelligence or have an average IQ.

Actual IQ score may vary plus or minus five points since it is very

difficult to get an IQ score with complete accuracy.

Take an IQ test; there are many available for free online such as The

Free IQ Test. While you are taking it, try to notice the questions and

how you are being tested.

For this assignment, write a 2-page double-spaced paper:

Share your results, if you feel comfortable. Do you believe it truly

reflects your intelligence? What are some things you can do to

improve your intelligence? Why do you believe these things will

improve your intelligence? Cite from your unit readings and/or

intelligence. Sternberg proposed a triarchic theory of intelligence,

and Gardner proposed 8 specific intelligences. What do you think is

the best model for measuring intelligence, and why? Cite from your

unit readings and/or outside resources.

Your paper must include APA-formatted in-text citations and an

APA-formatted reference page.
