Person's intellect is generally viewed from an IQ score. When in fact between intelligence and IQ there is a fundamental difference. Intellect / intelligence is the ability to act as directed, thinking rationally, and effectively deal with their environment. Broadly speaking we can conclude that intelligence is a mental ability that involves the process of rational thought. Therefore, intelligence can not be observed directly, but must be inferred from a variety of real action which is a manifestation of rational thought processes.
Meanwhile, IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, is a score derived from an intelligence test kits. Thus, the IQ only gives little indication about the level of intelligence of a person and does not describe a person's overall intelligence. IQ scores initially calculated by comparing the mental age (Mental Age) with chronological age (Chronological Age).
When an individual's ability to solve problems presented in a test of intelligence (mental age) is similar to that ability should be present in individuals her age at the time (chronological age), it will be obtained a score of 1. This score is then multiplied by 100 and used as the basis of IQ. But then I have problems because once the brain reaches maturity, the development does not happen again, even at a certain point would a decline in ability.
Then in 1904, Alfred Binet and Theodor Simon, 2 French psychologist to design an evaluation tool that can be used to identify students who require special classes (children are less intelligent). Assay was called Binet-Simon test. The test was then revised in 1911.
1916, Lewis Terman, a psychologist from the United States held a lot of improvement from the Binet-Simon test. Its main contribution is to assign a numerical index which express intelligence as the ratio (comparison) between Mental Age and Chronological Age. The result of this improvement is called Test Stanford_Binet. Indices such as this actually has been introduced by a German psychologist named William Stern, who became known as Intelligence Quotient or IQ. Stanford-Binet test is widely used to measure the intelligence of children up to age 13 years.
One reaction to the Binet-Simon test or the Stanford-Binet test is that the test was too general. A leader in this field, Charles Sperrman argued that intelligence does not only consist of one common factor alone (general factor), but also consists of the factors more specific. This theory is called the Theory of factor (Factor Theory of Intelligence). Assay that was developed according to the theory this factor is the WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) for adults, and WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children) for child-side anak.Di test equipments above, many assays developed with the aim of More specifically, in accordance with the objectives and culture in which the assays were made.
