  1. Riddle: Week 4, Day 2 • The Man in the Elevator • A man lives on the tenth floor of a building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. In the evening, he gets into the elevator, and, if there is someone else in the elevator - or if it was raining that day - he goes back to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment. Can you explain why it is so?

  15. Measuring Intelligence

  16. Psychometric Approach • Measuring intelligence through standardized aptitude tests

  17. Alfred Binet • Asked by French Ministry to develop a test to ID slow learners (so they could be helped) • Created a test to determine “mental age”.

  18. Mental Age • Level of intellect in relation to others—your peers • Ex: knowing the ABC’s=impressive if just learned by a 2 year-old, not so much with a 22 year-old.

  19. IQ • Mental Age ÷ Chronological Age = IQ • Average IQ = 100 • Bell Curve = 2/3 score b/t 85-115

  20. Lewis Terman • Stanford Psychologist • Revised test in 1916 for American kids • Purpose was to identify learning disabilities—but was lost in U.S. & used to categorize students/people

  25. Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory • Developed by Robert Sternberg in 1988 • 3 Aspects of Intelligence:

  26. Componential Intelligence • Information processing—recognize problems, select strategies, etc… • i.e.—science & math – formulas = answers

  27. Metacognition • awareness of your own thinking process— “thinking about thinking”

  28. Experiential Intelligence • Transferring skills to new situations • EX: 1st—Learn to Drive Car in Yorkville 2nd— Learn to Drive Car in Chicago

  29. Contextual Intelligence • Practical application of knowledge • “Street Smarts” • “Common Sense” • People who have Componential Intelligence & NO Contextual Intelligence = Educated Idiots!

  30. Tacit Knowledge • “On-the-Job Training” • Training gained by observation & experimentation

  31. Emotional Intelligence • Ability to understand, identify, & express emotions in self & others.
