About 30 years ago Howard Gardner at Harvard proposed that there are multiple intelligences, 9 in all that he delineated, including spatial, artistic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal. You can Google him and get the details.
This compares to the typical IQ test that measures Verbal IQ, Perceptual Reasoning IQ, Working Memory, and Processing Speed. Those 4 domains are then kind of averaged together to arrive at the Full Scale IQ of the person, which is what people are referring to when they talk about IQ. If you just consider the Full Scale IQ of a person, you might miss the possibility, for example, that they are extremely bright (superior range) in Perceptual IQ, and rather low in Verbal IQ (this could be a gifted artist, architect, graphic designer, designer who is not very articulate or does not express themselves well with words). Yet if you look only at their IQ score, it would be average - you would not see the gift and the weakness. Just looking at an IQ score is an easy way to measure large groups of people, but misses the details. It could be that people raised in the African bush have very high scores in Perceptual Reasoning but not so much in the verbal tasks that measure the scores in Verbal IQ. A generation that grows up with video games, fast MTV images and lots of visual activities could really do better on the Perceptual Reasoning subtests than their parents. People growing up in homes where there is lots of verbal debate, discussion, use of a wide variety of vocabulary, combined with great schooling, could as a result do better than they would have otherwise in the Verbal IQ area. So IQ subtests and domains are good at measuring exactly what they measure. IQ scores often correlate with how well a person will do in a typical academic setting (ie generally students earning all A's have above average IQ). These days, people at either extreme of the bell curve of IQ scores tend not to do so well in life in general, altho there are many exceptions to that. Hunter gathers valued different skills than we do, so the computer geeks earning loads of money these days might have been on the sidelines of the pack back then. > > > > ________________________________ > From: Jason <jedi_spock@...> > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 2:53 PM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: IQ vs. Religiosity > > > Â > > > IQ has many facets.
