IQ is a false concept

IQ is a hyped concept. It is a relative value, not an absolute value

The concept of IQ comes from the Frenchman Alfred Binet, who was a 19th-century One of the greatest psychologists.

Binet and Dr. Theodore Simon spent a year designing the "Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale". The scale includes some practical skills that people use every day to assess children's current intelligence. cognitive level. At this time, this table does not yet summarize intelligence into a definite number.

After the "Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale" was introduced to the United States, it caused a sensation. It was improved by the Americans and used to test IQ grading, and the test results of ability were solidified into specific numbers. IQ tests divide people into three, six or nine levels.

Eugenics was very popular in the United States at that time, because the United States was a country of immigrants. They wanted to forcefully sterilize prisoners, gangsters, slaves, prostitutes and other groups to ensure the superiority of their own race. From 1924, when Virginia was the first state to pass the Sterilization Act, to 1968, approximately 65,000 people were operated on, the vast majority of whom were poor, and many of the poor were women who gave birth to children out of wedlock. This act was not repealed until 1974.

The elite used the "Binet-Simon Intelligence Scale" to test people at the bottom of society, and sterilized those who failed. However, the questions in the IQ scale are the first time for many illiterate people at the bottom of society. They will naturally not be able to answer the more difficult ones, while those who are educated will naturally find it easy. At the same time, the scale is only effective when tested among peers, and there is no comparative value among people of different age groups. But among the ruling class, IQ scores are understood to be a fixed value. Since then, the concept of IQ has become popular around the world. As a result, IQ has become a hyped concept and a tool used by those in power to distinguish people.

People always mention IQ, but how many people know its origin and authenticity? Little do they know that the concept itself was deliberately created for a certain purpose, and people affected by it will unconsciously Accept it, use it, and it becomes a 'correct' concept.

There must be many such concepts in people's minds, so it is particularly important to correct them, because they will unknowingly affect people's behavior. Although the process may be long and arduous, it is The rewards must have been huge!
