The Importance Of Intelligence Assessment

Intelligence assessment seeks to measure the abilities of the mind such as the capacities to abstract thought, understanding, communication, and reasoning, planning and solving problems. Intelligence is a collective term that describe the properties and the abilities of the mind such as the capacities to abstract thought, understanding, communication, reasoning, and learning, planning and solving problems. For our case study we have the articles “No association between prenatal exposure to psychotropic and intelligence at age five.” (Ebscohost.com, 2015) and “Associations between motor timing, music practice, and intelligence studied in a large sample of twins.” (Ebscohost.com, 2015)

Achievement tests is a test that measure skills and knowledge

Stanford-Binet test is given to children even as young as 3 years old and up to adulthood (Roid, 2003). This test attempts to measure cognitive processes that epitomizes intelligence. Weschler intelligence scales are divided into adult scale and child scale. These scales have verbal sub-scales and non-verbal subscales that measures intelligence depending on the specific IQ score. This test is taken by high school students willing to join colleges and universities. But it is still considered as an intelligence test as it measures and scores the same domain abilities. SAT tests is a justifiable measure of intelligence as it shows IQ scores through child’s grades in the

Based on different situations intelligence test indicates the intellectual capabilities of the different people. For instance, intelligence test in school helps in indicating different intellectual capacities. Due to changes in environmental and genetic factor IQ keeps on changing (Duckworth, 2011). Intelligence test facilitates in determining the IQ increase rate. Finally, intelligent test measures the achievement test in scholastic assessment test.
Study on prenatal exposure seeks to prove that there are no association between prenatal exposure to psychotropic and intelligence at age five. On the other hand, motor timing, music practice, and intelligence studied in a large sample of twins have no association.
To clearly identify the association between the prenatal exposures to intelligence the study used Stanford-Binet test to young individuals and their mothers. This test measured cognitive processes, such comprehension and judgment for kids below 5 years. They observed that prenatal exposure had less significant effects on the child’s score on the intelligence. Also, to prove that there was no association between motor timing and intelligence in twins the study used SAT. Ullén et al (2005) that they observed that twins sharing everything had varying intelligence
