IQ of the child may be higher than that of a scientist, and this is perfectly normal
Around the concept of IQ is constantly being debated, both among scientists and among ordinary people (especially those who are dissatisfied with the results of the test). Is the IQ level indicator of the mind? What is the number of points and some benefits from it?
IQ was invented in the early 20th century, when the German psychologist William Stern suggested that a person's age can be divided into biological and mental, and that they do not necessarily have to match. To determine their relationship at the individual personality, and has been designed test IQ.
The main purpose of IQ, the practical use for which it was created - the definition of those children whose mental development is ahead of normal, and those who lag behind and can not cope with a comprehensive program. Popular in the question "who is smarter," these tests began relatively recently, when it became possible to pass every test, for example, the Internet. Before all this we tested primarily in school.
The expert from the Institute of Physiology, Russian age Olga Semenova explains in an interview www.strf.ru:
«What tests can assess? Ability to analyze and synthesize information, comparison, identification of laws, an understanding of the meaning (including hidden), to the mental manipulation of objects, logical conclusions. In addition, the tests reveal the level of awareness and erudition. Of course, there is a link between intelligence and ability to absorb information. The question is whether it is necessary to consider the concept of identity. »

The average IQ of a scientist - 125 points, and this figure is higher than the average. However, in July this year became aware of three-year child of the US, whose rate was 135 points, does that mean that the baby Selena Yanik smarter experts on, for example, nuclear physics? Of course, no. Yannick can be a wonderful specialist in some area, and glorify your name, may not be. IQ child can exceed IQ renowned scientist, and this is perfectly normal.

For comparison IQ of John F. Kennedy was - 117 units, Barack Obama was recorded level of 120 points, George Bush - younger, remembered for its sometimes inappropriate quips - 125 units of its predecessor in the White House - Bill Clinton - 137, the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton - 140.
