IntelligencesIQ testing In theory, intelligence quotient (IQ) is a value that represents one's intelligence relative to a group. IQ is a number that compares you to others in your age group. The distribution of scores has a mean of 100, with a standard deviation of 15 points. Most mainstream clinical psychologists will argue that an IQ score is a valid measure of real intelligence. Quite the opposite, I believe that IQ scores only measure one's ability to perform IQ tests. End of sentence, period and full stop!

Journal of Human Intelligences by Clifford J. F. Morris Welcome and thanks for the visit. My Journal of Human Intelligences (JOHI) is a non-refereed quarterly (Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall) electronic-only publication. JOHI publishes a wider range of writings associated with the overall nature of human intelligences, including book and chapter reviews, educational research, classical writings in the history of general intelligence, plus scholarly reports from the broad areas of developmental education and cognitive psychology. As the journal's publisher and sole editor, my overall goal is to attract viewpoints stemming from a diversity of theoretical and methodological perspectives. I am especially interested in encompassing informal viewpoints, research and scholarship relevant to understanding the numerous theories about our many intelligences across all age groups, cultural perspectives and educational settings. I recognize that a number of outlets for general intelligence, or "g", exists within most countries. However, there does not appear to be a medium specializing in the dissemination of reports from the overall perspectives of human intelligences. JOHI aims to provide such a medium.
From 1999 until 2003, I was the editor of The MI News. I started JOHI in 2004.

2. The Use of Multiple Intelligences to Enhance Team Productivity by Anna Green, Aretha Hill, Earnest Friday & Shawnta Friday "Purpose - To provide practitioners and researchers with a framework for using individuals' multiple intelligences (MI) to enhance team productivity. Design/methodology/approach - This paper is a general review paper that examines how the theory of MI as espoused by Gardner may be used to enhance the productivity of teams. Based on its use in organizational training, it is suggested that MI theory can and should be applied in the context of organizational teams. This descriptive paper is divided into the following sections: literature reviews of team development, team building, MI, and the use of MI in organizational training; and the development of a framework for using MI to enhance team productivity. Findings - Provides information about how individual team members' varying degrees of the eight MI espoused by Gardner may be used to enhance their contributions to the team. Suggests that the enhanced contributions from team members will lead to enhanced team productivity, and ultimately, enhanced organizational productivity. Research limitations/implications - Empirical research is needed to test the MI and team productivity framework presented. Additionally, from a conceptual and empirical perspective, the relationship between team productivity and other contemporary dimensions of intelligence, such as cultural, emotional, and practical intelligences, need to be investigated. Practical implications - A very useful framework for managers to use as a tool to enhance the productivity of their teams by encouraging members to use their complementary intelligences to successfully accomplish team goals. Originality/value - No other paper offers managers a practical framework to encourage team members to use more than just their written and verbal intelligences to complete an assigned task.

1. Wikipedia & Human Intelligence
"Intelligence is a property of mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn. There are several ways to define intelligence. In some cases intelligence may include traits such as creativity, personality, character, knowledge, or wisdom. However other psychologists prefer not to include these traits in the definition of intelligence."
2. Books On Human Intelligences and Intelligent Quotient (IQ)
The best single book mentioned here is Mackintosh, N. J. (1998) IQ and Human Intelligence because it includes a masterful review of the primary research literature and is very clear and accurate. Good for reading after Mackintosh (1998) is Sternberg (2000) Handbook of Intelligence, a collection of articles by many of the leading scholars of the field, which also includes a superb set of references to the primary literature.
3. The Limited Plasticity Of Human Intelligence by Arthur Jensen First published in Eugenics Bulletin, Fall 1982.
As societies become increasingly technological, the demand for superior intelligence begins to exceed the supply, and the demand for sheer physical labor begins to decline Increased leisure, early retirement, and a lengthened life-span all raise the premium on intelligence for the social and moral well-being of society.
