Intelligence Theory
Storyboard Text
- Slide: 1
- You support the bell curve of intelligence, right Terman?
- Well, Sternberg, my research supports that children with high IQs usually perform well as adults.
- What of your sample size? Could one not argue that 1500 children does not provide enough data for an accurate bell curve?
- Oh, how I rue budget cuts! I knew I should have insisted on a larger sample size.
- I will grant you that. However, the data still affirms that there is a correlation between high IQ and success in life.
- It is certain your study helped put off the belief that high intelligence equaled maladjustment. What of other forms of intelligence?
- Slide: 2
- Do you? I would enjoy hearing your arguments against it.
- I know my theory is foolproof, Terman!
- My primary reservation is your stance on practical intelligence. If there is no way to realistically measure knowledge based on experience. How can it be considered intelligence without clear testing?
- Intelligence is not simply data on a graph. Problem solving is a critical skill for a successful individual. One who performs well in the classroom may not have that same success out in a real world environment.
- The same argument may be made for creative intelligence. We have yet to develop a test that encompasses those "intelligences"
- Perhaps we need to rework our definition of intelligence. Is IQ testing too limiting?
- Slide: 3
- I think we both have been too limiting in our approaches.
- I agree with you. We need to change the view on intelligence. The scholar and the working man have knowledge neither possess, and therefore, are intelligent in their own way.
- My thoughts exactly. It will take time to change the view. But it is imperative all avenues of intelligence are pursued.
- By the way, where are we going?
- You are familiar with Plato's allegory of the cave, no? Let us shed our narrow perceptions.
- Slide: 0
- Other forms? Do you mean your triarchic theory of intelligence? I have my reservations.
- It is simply our current method. But, perhaps you are right. Care for a walk?
