What Makes Someone “Intelligent”?

In general, intelligence is the ability to learn new things, adapt to new situations, solve complex problems, and understand abstract concepts. [1] It’s important to note, however, that intelligence is a broad term that can mean different things to different people, and what constitutes intelligence also varies across cultures. [2] In recent years, many people have criticized the traditional theories and tests of intelligence, arguing that they don’t fully encompass all the different types of intelligence out there. For example, some have pointed out that Emotional intelligence (or EQ) can be just as important, or even more important, than IQ. [3]

What intelligence tests are available? The two most popular and widely used intelligence tests are the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechler scales. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (IQ Test) - Designed for children and evaluates people 2 years of age and older. Includes questions testing arithmetic, memory, and vocabulary skills. [4]
  • Wechsler scales - Measures adult intelligence levels, evaluating the test-taker’s verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, memory, and processing speed. [5]
