 Intelligence Quotient

I.Q. stands for “Intelligence Quotient” which is a measure of a person's intelligence found by means of an intelligence test. Before marks gained in such a test can be useful as information about a person, they must be compared with some standard, or norm（规范）. It is not enough simply to know that a boy of thirteen has scored, say, ninety marks in a particular test. To know whether he is clever, average or dull, his marks must be compared with the average achieved by other boys of thirteen in that test.

In 1906 the psychologist, Alfred Binet （1857--1911）, devised the standard by which intelligence has since been assessed．Binet was asked to find a method of selecting all children in the schools of Paris who should be taken out of ordinary classes and put in special classes for defectives. The problem brought home to him the need for a standard for measuring intelligence, and he hit upon the very simple concept of “mental age”.

First of all, he invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them. He then found at what age each test was passed by the average child．For instance, he found that the average child of seven could count backwards from 20 to 1 and the average child of three could repeat the sentence:" We are going to have a good time in the country ."Billet arranged the various tests in order of difficulty, and used them as a scale against which he could measure every individual. If, for example, a boy aged twelve could only do tests that were passed by the average boy of nine, Binet held that he was three years below average, and that he had a mental age of nine.

The concept of mental age provided Binet, and through him, other psychologists, with the required standard．It enabled him to state scores in intelligence tests in terms of a norm merely by subtracting（减去） the “mental” age of a child from his “chronological” age. Then the boy in the example given would be 'three years retarded'（迟缓、耽误）. Later the “mental ratio” was introduced; that is to say, the ratio of the mental age to the chronological age. Thus a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has a mental ratio of 0.75.

The “mental age” measurement was then replaced by the more famous I.Q.（intelligence quotient）

 2．The word “defective” refers to ________.

C．children of low intelligence                      D．very intelligent children

 3．Binet used a large number of children in his tests because he wanted to find out________. 

      A．who were the most stupid                  B．the defectives

      C．what a bright child could do                D．a norm

 4．The purpose of I.Q. test is to find out ______________. 

      A．whether one has the intelligence of thirteen-year-old children 

      B．whether one is clever, average or dull

Two years after the First World War (1914-1918), a small group of soldiers left the army and returned to their hometown in France. Most of them lived well, but one of them was poor. His name was Clinton. Once a year they had supper in Barton’s house. Barton was very rich.

One evening Barton showed his friends a large gold coin at the supper table. The coin was passed around and praised by everyone. At the same time they were talking and talking. They soon forgot about the coin. After supper, Barton asked for his coin, but nobody could tell where it was. It was lost. One man said that everyone must be searched.
