    3. The essence of IQ
      • Intelligence quotient or IQ instead of being a special type of test, is a method to score various standardized tests
      • The tests attempt to measure intelligence, which can be defined as a capability to reason, think abstractly, learn and solve problems
      • IQ=Mental age/Chronological age*100 :
        • IQ tests are designed to measure above mentioned mental age or intelligence, which is then divided by the chronological age or real age of a person, and expressed in percentage terms
      • E xample : if a 20 years old person scores 20 in a test that measures mental age, he has IQ score of 100, which is the population average

    4. Why different IQs are incomparable? (I)
      • Even though the standardized IQ test s attempt to include diverse fields to measure one’s intelligence, they are becoming more and more focused :
        • If a person scores high in IQ tests that is more focused on verbal capabilities, it doesn’t mean that he will also score high in a test that measures mathematical abilities
      • Modern IQ scores are calculated according to a different scale than the ones from the middle of 20th century
        • both methods yield similar results for medium IQ scores, for high IQs the old method gives substantially higher results

    5. Why different IQs are incomparable? (II)
      • For different IQ tests standard deviations may differ - it makes scores of those tests incomparable on the same level
      • Y ounger people tend to score higher in IQ tests - thus, intelligence “decrease” with the lapse of time

    6. Is Shakira more intelligent than George Bush ?
      • In order to prove that Shakira is more inteligent than George Bush or Ronald Reagan one should have the following evidence :
        • Shakira should have been taken the same IQ tests that the presidents took
        • Their scores should be calculated using the same scales and standard deviations.
        • All of them should be at similar age at the time when taking the test
        • if Shakira was prepared for the IQ test through purposeful trainings - it could partly explain the fact of higher IQ score
      • As there is actually no information about criteria of measuring IQs for different famous people – comparisons of IQs are not objective and may give false perceptions
      • One question still remains unanswered – how was the IQ of Michelangelo measured!?!
