What is intelligence? Is it solving a difficult
math problem, knowing how to build a skateboard, or having good
social skills? Depending on your point of view and the culture you
live in, any one of these answers may be correct. Intelligence takes
a closer look at what it means to be smart. Find out how scientists
test intelligence and how new ideas are being used in the classroom.
You can even learn how to make the most of your brainpower with a
few simple tips.
About the Author
Linda Wasmer Andrews learned to read and write at a young
age, so she got the "smart kid" label early in school. She didn't
turn out to be all that smart about a lot of things; to this day,
she can't catch a ball, read a map, or set the time on her DVD
player. However, she did become a busy writer. She is the author of
five books and more than 1,700 book chapters, magazine and
newsletter articles, and Web pages. Her specialty is writing about
psychology, health, and the mind-body connection. Linda lives in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, with her husband. She has a bachelor's
degree in psychology from the University of New Mexico. |
