Subject: Intelligence A-5

I think that one positive aspect of intelligence tests is that wether or not it is always correct, it is a way to test some specific areas of intelligence. I think it is positive to have something to guage and compare students,because even though seperating students into groups based on IQ can cause problems it is something that has to be done. It is inevitable that all students will not be on the same level, and by having these tests it is easier to get students working on the level that they need to be. However, I do not think that these tests should be the sole things looked at. It is proven that some people do better on tests than other, and like we discussed in class there can be things such as homelife, hunger, and environment that can alter these test scores. Yet, I think if these tests are used along with the students grades, participation, and other factors in school, they can be effective in guaging a students potential.
