IQ tests do not determine the level of intelligence

A recent study has once again confirmed that IQ tests are not a measure of intelligence. Moreover, the scientists argue that none of the test, at least, of those that have already been created, can not assess your intellect.

Experts from the University of Western Ontario was asked to 100,000 volunteers undergo 12 tests to determine cognitive features, as well as conducted brain scans of some participants. After analyzing the information received, they came to the conclusion that people have not IQ, and so-called "cognitive profile", which consists of 3 components: reasoning ability and verbal short-term memory.

Intelligence - is too complex a concept that it can be characterized by means of tests IQ, so their low result indicates only that the person is not good at tests IQ.
