Introdu&tion
Intelligence is the ability to respond adaptively to new situations, to think abstractly and to comprehend complex ideas. I: is the abbreviation for Intelligence :uotient. 8he word 2uotient means the number of times that one number will divide into another. .n intelligence test BI: 8estC is a standardiDed test designed to measure human intelligence as distinct from attainments. 8he measured I: of children is e2ual to mental age divided by actual BchronologicalC age. !or example, if a child of eight years of age obtains a score expected of a ten=year=old, the child will have a measured I: of *&4, by means of the following

calculation3 E *'' F I: or _ * 1 '_ E *'' F *&4 I: 8his method of calculating I: does not apply to adults because beyond the age of *1 there is little or no improvement in mental development. .dults, therefore, have to be Gudged on an I: test in which the average score is *''. 8he results are graded above and below this norm according to known test scores.
