Quotient

What is self-serving bias? Self-serve bias is when one always assumes the best of him/herself. Ex: if an individual’s group won an award, he/she will take pride in what the group did, and claim they won the award because of him/her. Ex: if an individual’s group lost an award, he/she will point fingers and blame other members of the group, to avoid feeling guilty/dumb. What is fundamental attribution? Fundamental attribution is seeing an individual do something ONCE and assume that is…

Under the theory of Intelligence Quotient, it has been found that there are two types of intelligences, “intellective” and “non-intellective”. Emotional Intelligence (EI) seems to be more commonly observed in order to predict and understand workplace behaviours and consequently, the achievements…

My understanding of intellectual disabilities has expanded because now I am able to relate the specifics from our textbook to experiences I have had while helping at Younglife’s Capernaum camp, for special needs individuals. I was surprised to read in our textbook that limited intellectual ability is defined as a score of 70 or less on intelligence testing. The Capernaum camp experience is for anyone with a disability, whether physical or intellectual, and the range of issues spans greatly when…

IQ or intelligence quotient is said by some to be one of the best ways to measure a person’s intellectual capability. Similarly, in the short story “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, a mentally challenged man named Charlie Gordon undergoes a surgery to triple his IQ of 68 to 204. As the story progresses, Charlie slowly but surely starts to become smarter and gains more self-awareness for his surroundings, making him angry and often frustrated with his doctors. At the peak of his…

Harvard Graduate School of Education. Gardner is best known for his theory of multiple intelligences. The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 which explained that the concept of intelligence was too limited and that intelligence quotient (IQ) testing did not properly represent other "intelligences" that someone could have. He published Frames of Mind in 1983, which was a book that described his theory and the seven distinct intelligences. Gardner's work is so significant…

handicapped. She made this assumption solely based on Tyler’s IQ score. Berger and Riojas-Cortez state that, “Placement must be based on the use of tests and other evaluations that evaluate specific areas of need, not solely a single intelligence quotient” (pg. 261). Bertha should not have made this assumption based on Tyler’s low IQ score, rather she should have evaluated Tyler and not jump to conclusion. For the scheduling of the IEP meeting again, Bertha set a time and date that only worked…

discussed in the changes of evaluation, educational and learning view. First, there were various standpoints before multiple intelligences theory, but the main world recognized the viewpoint of evaluating talents was still the traditional intelligence quotient (IQ) test. While the traditional IQ test actually disfavours the majority, only a few exceptional people will be recognized by it. It has restricted the definition of…

The Gottfredson and Saklofske was an interesting read. Intelligence is a difference factor that can be operationally defined and measured. However, I was shocked not to read anything about the Flynn Effect. I would expect for that to be mentioned somewhere in the article. Considering that intelligence is the most studied subject in psychology and it is likely the best understood construct. The article brought up and interesting and controversy topics such as the gap in race regarding scoring on…

Intelligence, according to British psychologist Charles Spearman, is general cognitive ability that could be measured and numerically expressed. There has been a presentable amount of research done to prove the relationship between one’s intelligence and how it affects their workplace achievements as well as academic achievements. Most recent findings suggest that emotionally intelligent people perform better in their workplace than their counterparts (Law, et al., 2004), but this is not a…

An individual’s potential to succeed has for years been superficially measured by a score on a standardized test, known globally as an Intelligence Quotient Test. The result of this test is a number, an “I.Q.”; a higher I.Q. translates into greater intelligence, and therefore, potential for the success. In Senior Editor, Deborah Perkins-Gough’s article for Educational Leadership Magazine, “The Significance of Grit: A Conversation with Angela Lee Duckworth”, she chronicles her interview with Ms…
