How Smart Am I explores intelligence and tests
An essay questions how intelligence is defined and measured. It traces origins to Alfred Binet and the Stanford Binet test, notes the Wechsler scales and group measures, and warns that tests may reflect schooling and reading ability more than true intellect. It argues intelligence is not fixed and challenges reliance on test results for student planning.
