What are some things you can do to improve your intelligence? Why do you believe these things will improve your intelligence?What do you think is the best model for measuring intelligence, and why?
I.Q. (intelligence quotient): In general, it is an assessment of your ability to think and reason. An IQ score is a standardized way of comparing this ability with the majority of people the same age as you. A score of 100 means that compared to these people in your general age group, you have basically an average intelligence. Most psychologists would say those scoring in a range of 95 to 105 are of normal intelligence or have an average IQ. The actual IQ score may vary plus or minus five points since it is very difficult to get an IQ score with complete accuracy.Take an IQ test; there are many available for free online, such as The Free IQ Test. While you are taking it, try to notice the questions and how you are being tested.For this assignment, write a 2-page double-spaced paper:Share your results if you feel comfortable. Do you believe it truly reflects your intelligence? What are some things you can do to improve your intelligence? Why do you believe these things will improve your intelligence? Cite from your unit readings and/or outsides resources to support your statements about ways to improve your intelligence.Many argue that IQ tests only measure analytical intelligence, but other researchers have argued that there is more than one type of intelligence. Sternberg proposed a triarchic theory of intelligence, and Gardner proposed 8 specific bits of intelligence. What do you think is the best model for measuring intelligence, and why?

What is your identity category in the relevant time period (e.g., what did nationality mean to Europeans in 1899?)?
Write an Essay What the source and identity category are. Very literally, what is the sourcea diary entry, a political cartoon, a news report? What is your identity category in the relevant time period (e.g., what did nationality mean to Europeans in 1899?)? The historical background of the source. What was happening where and when the source was produced that may have influenced the person or people who produced it? The perspective (or bias) of the source. Who created it, when, and why? What point of view does the source promote? Did the creator(s) of the source have a personal, economic, or political stake in how the source was received? Does the source promote blatantly inaccurate information? If so, why? What the source tells us about identity within the historical context in which it was created. Thinking about your identity category, what, if anything, does the source say explicitly? (Meaning, what does the source just come out and say?) What does the source say implicitly? (Meaning, what does the creator leave unsaid, perhaps because it is common knowledge, because it is taboo, etc.?) Your assessment of the sources usefulness. How helpful is this source to understanding the identity category connected to it? What limitations could exist when using this source to understand the past?
