If you ask me, an outlier is someone who figures out the solution to a problem that someone else couldn’t. Malcolm Gladwell’s definition of an outlier is a person that works hard to be successful and its intelligence is far above than an average person. In The Outliers, Gladwell shows us his beliefs by giving us a short summary of his chosen outliers. Gladwell introduces his book by telling us a little about the town named Roseto. A town in Pennsylvania found by Italian immigrants in the 19th century, named after a village in Italy. The town was first…

Psychologists like Charles Spearman believe it to be a single ability whereas Howard Gardener believes intelligence is more than just one ability. Similarly, the concept of creativity is very hard to define as Amabile, 1996 (cited in Maley & Bolitho, 2015) states, ‘a clear and sufficiently…

    One major aspect that was changed is that the student would also be scored by creativity and wisdom skills as well. Another is that the test would not penalize the student for being uncreative or having an impractical essay, but would receive additional points if those factors stood out.

As Deary (2001) has noted, sometimes we refer to someone’s general…

    There is something that must be clarified in your argument: IQ is not a standardized test. IQ stands intelligence quotient and is one type of standard score. There are many tests to measure it; the Standford-Binnet Intelligence Tests and Wecheler Test, both with various types and editions, figure among the most known (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2010). A solution that might help to close those gaps is to test children utilizing measuring tools that are appropriate for the test taker. When considering…
