-Socially/Culturally constructed, smart= success
-Alfred Binet- invented the first practical intelligence test (Binet-Simon Scale); goal was to identify students who needed special attendance in an academic setting
-Lewis Terman- promoted use of the intelligence test; president of the American Psych association (APA); initiated study of children with high IQ
-William Stern- invented the term IQ (Intelligent Quotient)

-Flynn effect- over time we get smarter and the mean shifts higher
-To find IQ- mental age / chronological age X 100 = IQ
110-119 - bright normal 
120-129 - superior
130 - very superior
150 and above - truly gifted
Low extreme- below 70
50-69 - mild
35-49 - moderate 
20-34 - severe
under 20 - profound]]> 2017-02-28 13:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gretchenfar5676/edz47w429q0x/wish/156709907 Assessing Intelligence gretchenfar5676 https://padlet.com/gretchenfar5676/edz47w429q0x/wish/158320585 -2 ways to measure intelligence (Aptitude and Achievement)
