The IQ test is also just a lot of different question relating on things you have or have not learned. (Keyes, 194)…

    According to Robert Sternberg, all people possess three distinct unique types of intelligence. If we utilized specific tests to determine if an individual were street smart, book smart, or highly creative, organizations could find people very specific to their needs. One disadvantage that people may encounter, might be that the competency tests may be too specific, and may restrict people from finding employment, or they may not be given a chance to “get their foot in the door” and master the necessary skills in an acceptable…
