What is intelligence and how is it measured? We may never know exactly what it is, but Stephen Ceci attempts to increase our awareness of what intelligence is in the article “ IQ on the Test. "The author of this article is Stephen Ceci According to the American Psychological Society, Stephen Ceci has been defined as among the" most influential and internationally known developmental psychologists. He is a professor of psychology, focusing specifically on child development at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The psychological field has honored Stephen with four prestigious awards, three of which are “Distinguished Contribution” awards. Ceci has given numerous speeches around the world. He is the author of books and articles which reach a total of around 350 and appear in the main magazines. The main debate is what intelligence actually is, who has it, and how it can be calculated. There are two approaches to this dispute, nature versus nurture. According to Exploring Psychology in Modules, the nature-nurture issue is the controversy over the relative contributions of biology and experience (6). On the natural side of things, psychometricians evaluate what proportion of intelligence is instinctive by examining IQ. In contrast, cultural ecologists support the idea of ​​education by bringing to light that intelligence always changes and is never the same thanks to our daily experiences , thus making intelligence tests unfair. These two groups of scientists have different techniques, which means that research cannot collaborate. The author believes that, in most cases, the average layperson is not included in this debate. The average layman has... half the paper... the laboratory test used is actually sensitive, reliable and accurate. This means that it detects the suspected infection, does not present false positives, which would make one think that a child was abused when in reality he was not, and some tests for gonorrhea can be positive, even if the bacterium found is not respectively the sexually transmitted type of Neisseria. I think the introduction to this article clearly points out that definitions of intelligence are not broad enough. If you're just talking about IQ as measured by an IQ test, then you're missing a lot of what intelligence actually consists of. I also like that you say that the debate generally ignores actual research data obtained. This article does a great job of raising “IQ awareness” and letting us know more about the mystery that is intelligence.
