Scientific America quarterly issue focused on Exploring Intelligence
covering human, animal, machine and extraterrestrial domains. Some article
topics: "IQ: What Your Score Really Means," "Multiple Intelligences,"
Giftedness and Savants," "Smart Drugs In Your Kitchen."
The article re scoring intelligence states that "Conventional measures,
such as SATs and IQ tests, miss critical abilities essential to academic
and professional success."
"A Multiplicity of Intelligences" reveals that humans are better thought of
as having more than one criteria for testing intelligence, and that there
are as much as nine types of intelligence that define a persons
"intelligence."
