Mearsuring Intelligence => Summary and respond

In the article, ’’Measuring Intelligence,’’ the author discusses about what IQ test is and how important IQ test is. The first, the author introduce the two different ways to measure mental ability. According to the article, the IQ test in modern days measures a variety if different types of ability and tell us the majority of people will get between 90-100 score. Next, the author states an argument that whether IQ test is a accurate test, because not only nature intelligence can solve problems, but practical knowledge and other skills can solve problems. Moreover, author gives two alternative brain tests such as elementary cognitive tasks and visual illusions. Finally, the author mentions that although we are learning something, we also are losing something. Moreover, scientists are trying to solve this problem. They especially focus on the area which we increase in IQ. In the author’s opinion, IQ is a really important, and it has been used for many ways, such as used in government or apply to company for workers. I agree with author that though IQ test can measure, but it still not can really measure one’s intelligence; moreover, I agree with author that when we are learning something, it is possible that we will lose something in the same time.
Firstly, though intelligence quotient test can measure our intelligence, I think it can not really measure nurture ability. For example, not only we use intelligence to solve problems, but also we use other skill to solve problems, like the skill we learn form music that we can combine many random things well, or other abilities like practical knowledge. Hence, I do not think we can judge one person’s ability or one person’s intelligence by measuring IQ test.
Moreover, I think when we are learning something, we also are losing something. For example, when a person who drops up his university and get a job out of school, they can learn the experience from his job, but also he loses his academic ability from school. Another example, though our parents not study in the school, but it doesn’t mean that their intelligences are declining; they can learn practical knowledge from house. Hence, I do not think if one’s IQ score is high are one’s IQ is law are stand for that their intelligence is really smart or not smart.
Consequently, I believe that intelligence quotient can not really measure one’s intelligence, because not only we use academic intelligence to solve problems, but also we use other skills to solve problems. Furthermore, although we are learning some ability form school, but we will also miss something such as we take job instead of going to school, it not stands for that our intelligences are declining. Hence, I think sometime companies or schools measure one’s intelligence in a special reason, but we can not judge one’s personality by IQ test. On the other hand, many teachers and a lot of companies will depend one’s intelligence and teachers will give up teach a student or not apply a person to be an employee in the company. However, we always see a person who has not will ability in math and we think he has comprehension problems and we think he is not smart. Actually, we should not judge one person’s intelligence depend on his IQ test or his academic reason. Finally, I think we should see one person’s personality more that judge their intelligence.
