You Don't Have To Be A Rocket Scientist
To Pass An IQ Quiz
by: Brian Fong
Q. Can you really tell anything about someone's
intelligence by having them take an IQ quiz?
A. The answer to this question requires
a bit of background information, so let me put my professor
hat on and tell you a story.
An IQ quiz measures a person's Intelligence
Quotient (IQ). IQ is calculated using this formula: IQ
= 100 MA/CA where MA = Mental Age and CA = Chronological
Age.
The IQ test was originated back in 1905
by French psychologist Alfred Binet and his physician
research partner Dr. Theodore Simon. These two guys came
up with the "Binet Simon Test". This test's
purpose was to measure the intelligence of retarded children.
The test was based upon several observations:
1. Children grow more mentally capable
as they grow older
2. Some children perform at higher grade
and age levels than their actual grade and age level.
While other children are just the opposite.
The mental age (MA) portion of the formula
is the age level that the child is found to perform at.
For example, a 6-year-old who performed at the level
of an 8-year-old, is assigned a MA of 8 and, of course,
a CA of 6. Conversely, an 8-year-old, who performed at
the level of a 6-year-old, is given a CA of 8 and a MA
of 6. With me so far? If you are then you've already
passed my IQ test because I'm starting to get confused
and I'm the one who is writing this article!
3. Binet and Simpson also discovered that
these gaps between MA and CA grew wider as the children
aged. Our child who had a MA of 8 when he was 6, was
found to have a MA of 12 by the time that he reached
age 8. Conversely, the child who had a MA of 6 when he
was 9, had a MA of 8 when he reached 12.
4. They also noticed that although the
MA/CA gap widened as the children grew older, the ratio
of MA:CA remained constant. This constant ratio was called
the "Intelligence Quotient".
The IQ quiz, or IQ test, was developed
as a way of determining the MA:CA ratio of any person
at any age.
So, what (if anything) can be deduced about
a person based upon the results of an IQ quiz?
According to an article "The General
Intelligence Factor", Scientific American Presents "Exploring
Intelligence", pg. 24, 1999, author Linda Gottfredson
writes:
"Adults in the bottom 5% of the IQ
distribution (below 75) are very difficult to train and
are not competitive for any occupation on the basis of
ability. Serious problems in training low-IQ military
recruits during World War II led Congress to ban enlistment
from the lowest 10% (below 80) of the population, and
no civilian occupation in modern economies routinely
recruits its workers from that below-80 range."
"Current military enlistment standards
exclude any individual whose IQ is below about 85." "Persons
of average IQ (between 90 and 100) are not competitive
for most professional and executive-level work but are
easily trained for the bulk of jobs in the American economy.
By contrast, individuals in the top 5 percent of the
adult population can essentially train themselves, and
few occupations are beyond their reach mentally." "People
with IQs between 75 and 90 are 88 times more likely to
drop out of high school, seven times more likely to be
jailed, and five times more likely as adults to live
in poverty than people with IQs between 110 and 125.
The 75-to-90 IQ woman is eight times more likely to become
a chronic welfare recipient, and four times as likely
to bear an illegitimate child than the 110-to-125-IQ
woman."
Wow, those are some pretty dramatic conclusions
that are based solely upon IQ as determined by an IQ
quiz. If you believe what Ms. Gottfredson writes, then
the answer to your question of "Can you really tell
anything about someone's intelligence by having them
take an IQ quiz?" is: It would appear so. Like any
quiz, however, don't feel too bad if you "fail" an
IQ Quiz. Some people just suck at taking tests!

How the 'foot, yard, and inch' came to be
Pre-metric measurements had some interesting, if inexact, origins.
Though they have been standardized in countries that use them, they
are still difficult for the rest of the world to understand, and even
more difficult to explain. For example:
The Foot. This unit of measurement was determined by the length of
King Charlemagne's foot and modified in 1305 to be 36 barleycorns laid
end to end. (No measurement for the barleycorn is given.)
The Inch. The width of King Edgar's thumb was officially designated
as an inch. It was three barleycorns across.
The Yard. The distance from King Henry I's nose to his fingertips.
The distance is also twice as long as a cubit.
The Mile. In the Roman legionary, the mile was the distance covered
by 1,000 double steps. Queen Elizabeth added more feet so the mile
would equal eight furlongs.
The Furlong. The length of a furrow a team of oxen could plow before
resting.
The Acre. The amount of land a yoke of oxen could plow in one day.
The Fathom. The span of a seaman's outstretched arms; 880 fathoms make
a mile.
The National Geographic News Service, which collected this information,
says the metric system has a more scientific origin, though the common
person may think it almost as difficult to understand.
The Metric System. Based on the meter, which is defined precisely as
1,650,763.73 wave lengths of orange-red light emitted by the krypton-86
atom, or originally one-ten-millionth of the length of the longitude
from the North Pole to the equator. The meter is exactly 39.37 inches.
Or it measures about 118 barleycorns, however you choose to think about
it that way.
