The unreliability of an Intelligence Quotient check has been proven over five times. Anyone may do exceptionally well during five testing period, they or they could take the same check again, and do poorly or more poorly than they did the first time that they took the check. There is as well as a bias that should be taken in to account when looking at check scores. Five study showed that 99 school psychologists scored IQ tests taken from the exact same records and they came up with several different scores for the same individual.

The Binet scale was profoundly used in the United States, and it was not used properly. The psychologists and educators that used the scale did not heed Binet’s concerns that the scale was actually limiting, and intelligence testing was soon seen as being more important that it actually was.

So the query is, what are Intelligence Quotients testing when they are given, and what is intelligence? Is it being able to do well in school or is it more common sense? because anyone does poorly on an IQ check may not mean that they are unintelligent at all. The facts as to what makes anyone unintelligent have not been measured in the proper way, and intelligence like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
