Alfred Binet originally developed the IQ test to predict academic achievement (exclusively). But it was co-opted by the eugenics movement (started by Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Gaulton). People were put to death IN AMERICA for having a low IQ! Spearman posited the 'g' or general intelligence construct which IQ is supposed to be a measure of. Interestingly, IQ is correlated with a number of other attributes that are generally desirable such as good looks, but also positively correlated with some negative things such an anxiety. Bottom line, IQ seems to be a good measure of having attributes that we both admire and _promote_ in our western culture, but it falls short when you start using it for cross-cultural comparisons of people's intelligence.

I'm a lot more interested in the reasoning/logic behind the ones I missed, than I am in my score. Are the solutions posted someplace? Can we get the solutions?

Anyway, in regards to the above, regardless of how one maintains a higher level of cognitive awareness, whether by exercizing the brains memory, or just plain using it for more than something to fill the void between the ears, its ok to strive to be a better learner. That is what we all are, at least we should try to be good learners. Ive always wondered if it was really true that Einstein believed in God, sometimes I think he wanted people to see how precious life is and be in awe of the odds of our own existence.

I of course wouldnt recomend that I.Q. Be the main reason for electability, there are much more important traits like honesty, along with integrity and all other fine attributes that should be held in the highest regard by those who we have given power to. I apologize for not being comepletely on point, I agree 100% with you on the idea that we have quite less than the cream of the crop running our country.

We could all use a little more harmony with our fellow man.

I think that if people would use their intelligence towards physically making a positive change in this crazy world instead of taking some test to find out how much potential that they are wasting would be a good thing.

(whatever). i've taken three different tests, and i can assure you none of them were meant for Ghanaians, so what does it mean when i get 132 as my lowest test score and 173 as my highest. (i got my highest score the second time)the other score was 140. maybe if o take one meant for Ghanaians, or if i ever lived in the states i'll also be of the charts i’m in africa, Ghana, i hear the test varies in accuracy depending on the country you are from or live in.

If you do not have an iq of 180 it does not mean that you cannot change the world, it simply means you had to work harder to get to the point where you can change the world, and will end up being a greater leader (because of character and experience) than someone who rides through life on the coattails of a lucky break. no one got a 199 or 165… if you do the test the highest you can get is “above end 160″ with a standard deviation of 24.
