What is IQ?

• IQ is a measure of relative intelligence determined by a standardized test. The first intelligence test was created in 1905 by Alfred Binet and Théophile Simon to determine which French school children were too “slow” to benefit from regular instruction.

Emotion & Intelligence

Emotion is a feeling that is private and subjective. Humans can report an extraordinary range of states, which they can feel or experience. In many cases, the emotions we note in ourselves seem to be blends of different states.

Intelligence is defined as general cognitive problem-solving skills. A mental ability involved in reasoning, perceiving relationships and analogies, calculating, learning quickly… etc.
