How can we
measure
intelligence? And what is the history
of measuring the
intellect of
Homosapiens? or at
least modern history ?
Throughout history, Homo Sapiens
have attempted to break away from

nature. Instead of being controlled
by the whims of mother Earth and
adapting to our environment, we try
to make nature and our
environment adapt to us.
We have invented a great variety
of tools to assist us in this capacity.
There is little doubt that, for the
most part, present-day Homo

Scientists are more
concerned with how humans

became so technologically
efficient and how they
ultimately came to dominate
other species. Of course,
many variables play a role in
the Human’s rise to power,
but the primary determining
factor is what we call
intelligence.
But there’s more to
intelligence than meets the

intro
eye.
 01
What is intelligence?

INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence is a somewhat
vague term. As such, I will
start with a broad

INTELLIGENCE
definition. Dr. C. George
Boeree of "Shippensburg
University" describes
intelligence as a person’s
ability to learn and
understand information,
apply that information to
solve problems, and
engage in abstract
reasoning.

issue among psychologists because seven factors were
determined:

measured when talking about intelligence

 IQ history
01-First attempts
The first attempts to evaluate
intelligence were made on
students, in 1890 by the
American McKeen Catell "the
mental test" to measure by a
series of tests the different
aptitudes of students.

02-The calculation of the
intelligence quotient
The German psychologist William
Stern is the initiator of the
calculation of the intelligence
quotient. Designed to evaluate
children, this IQ is the ratio of
mental age to real (chronological)
age multiplied by 100 and is
measuring the intelligence of
adults.

Simon".

The first reference
intelligence scale was
published in 1905 by the
Frenchmen Alfred Binet and
Theodore Simon at the
request of the State to detect
students with low academic
abilities, this first test is

IQ (intelligence quotient) tests

INTELLIGENCE
are one of the most popular
ways to measure a person’s
intelligence (though these
tests vary nearly as much as
the very definition of
intelligence). IQ tests are
tests that you cannot study,
this means that the test
measures the general
intellect of a person at any
age.

 This seems like a silly

INTELLIGENCE
abstract measurement,
which is why scientists
developed many types of
standardized tests for IQ,
trying to reduce the
subjective and unscientific
nature of the
measurement.
Modern IQ tests often measure
a person’s ability in a few
distinct areas: Spatial ability,

INTELLIGENCE
Mathematical ability ,
Language ability , and Memory.

These subjects are chosen

because they are said to
measure “general intelligence,”
which boils down to the ability
to understand concepts rather
than have previous knowledge
of concepts.(that’s what
Einstein said)
INTELLIGENCE
The average score on an IQ test is 100. These labels are
often given for IQ scores:

INTELLIGENCE
1 to 24: Profound mental disability
25 to 39: Severe mental disability
40 to 54: Moderate mental disability
55 to 69: Mild mental disability
70 to 84: Marginal mental disability
85 to 114: Average intelligence
115 to 129: Above average or bright
130 to 144: Moderately gifted
145 to 159: Highly gifted
160 to 179: Exceptionally gifted
180 and up: Profoundly gifted
 IQ tests cannot accurately measure
Warning every aspect of a person’s brilliance

INTELLIGENCE
(or lack thereof), and results can
even vary from test to test (it’s worth
mentioning that only professional,
peer-reviewed tests are
accurate/accepted. Online IQ tests
are just “for fun”). In fact, William
Shokley has been rejected lots of
time in this test, but who is this man,
and is he worth mentioning? well he
is the creator of the transistor, one of
the greatest invention ‘ever’.
Finally, I would like to specify
that this presentation is not an
invitation to believe in IQ tests,
but an incitement to believe in
yourself, no one is stupid, each
of us is brilliant in a certain
domain, whether it be sports,
arts or other...

Intelligence is present in each of us,

never underestimate yourself, and
just do what you like, automatically
you'll be excellent at it.
