94th EQ - By CompassMedia

When IQ tests are first developed, people think that it is a sure way to know which children have the best chance of success. But it was not like that. It is true that IQ tests can predict success at school until a certain degree. However, researchers see many people with high IQ who perform poorly in life. Clearly, there are several aspects of success that IQ tests are not measured. Much emphasis is placed on intelligence. Many people see it as a good predictor of success. They think that smarter people have it easier. Smart people get better grades in school, have better jobs, and have a happier life in general. Because it is so important, tests have been developed to measure intelligence. The most famous is the IQ (intelligence quotient) test.
