ABSTRACT

263Some of the people you meet from day to day seem very intelligent whereas others are much less. How do you think we could best measure intelligence: Are intelligence or IQ tests adequate? Do you think that people can be intelligent in several different ways? If so, what are the major dimensions of intelligence?

Finally, there is an especially difficult and controversial issue: Where do you think intelligence comes from? Is it something we are born with, or is it largely determined by education and other environmental factors? Alternatively, does an individual’s level of intelligence depend on a combination of genes and environment?
