Tamim Ansary offers a refreshing journalistic overview of intelligence testing, IQ scores, and their development as well as misuses.
The review appears technically accurate and consistent with conventional academic primary literature about what “smarter” means.
His suggested related reading list appears useful for parents, student teachers and independent software developers wanting an introduction to the topic. Higher ed students will find it a useful primer for clarifying why people expect higher levels of achievement from them than for most people in their elementary and high schools.
Good work, Tamim. With primary references, it’s probably a B+ or A- weekly paper in an undergraduate course in tests and measurements.
