The Bell Curve - 2 sides presented. These are 2 views published May 1995 concerning the book, The Bell Curve.

Various sites with "IQ" tests.
OK, none of these are official IQ tests, but they do contain examples of the types of questions that standard IQ tests give. These aren't official for a number of reasons, including that they aren't timed, they can't control for cheating, and they really haven't been normed. But, if you are curious, give one a try.
From Queendom - 60 questions, takes about 1 hour.
From Q-Tests - 2 tests in English, 40 questions each - timed (30 minutes)!
From Self-Discovery Workshop - 1 test, 38 True/False questions - the faster the time completed, the better your score (13 minutes). Also tells you what IQ is and give a history.
Not an IQ test, but a MENSA workout. 30 questions. 30 minutes.

Chapter 8 exercises - Intelligence. NOTE: Make sure that you reword this information in YOUR words. If you just copy word for word from the book or links, the assignment will not count. In addition, if you can't find the material on the web site, try using your book.

*EXERCISE 1 - Standardized tests
(Click on the section Standardized tests and then look at the first 3 FAQs to help answer these questions)
1. What is a standardized test?
2. Why should someone use a standardized test?
3. What is the different between a "hard area" and a "soft area" test?
4. What are the results used for?
5. What kind of restrictions do these tests have?
6. Why do they have these restrictions?

*EXERCISE 2 - Means and Standard Deviations
In order to understand exactly what the number means in an intelligence test, the SAT, many personality tests, etc., you need to understand basic descriptive statistics - measures of central tendency (mode, median, mean) and measures of variability (range and standard deviation) (details are located in the Appendix section of your book). Assume that these are test scores from 2 exams. Using this web site (Click on Chapter 1 and go to the section on Descriptive Statistics at the bottom) and the following numbers, tell me
1. Define mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation (use appendix in the book).
2. What is the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation for the following 2 sets of numbers?
test 1 (100, 95, 92, 90, 87, 88, 85, 85, 84, 84, 84, 83, 82, 81, 81, 79, 75, 73, 70, 65)
test 2 (90, 90, 89, 89, 89, 88, 88, 88, 88, 87, 87, 87, 87, 87, 86, 86, 86, 85, 85, 84  )
3. If you were to receive an 85 on both tests, which test would you have done better than the average person? Why?

*EXERCISE 3 - EQ
According to Sternberg, there are 3 types of intelligence. One type is called practical intelligence and has been the focus of research recently. Try this site (choose the Emotional IQ test)  for examples of an EQ test. Answer them truthfully. Tons of extra info can be found at the HayGroup website (click on the sections under Learn More - they also have an emotional intelligence test here that you can take and the Latest Article section has a FAQ section). Or try this website.
1. What is contextual/practical intelligence (Sternberg) and inter/intrapersonal intelligence (Gardner)- according to the book, what skills are involved? How are they related to each other
2. Some people focus on what they call emotional intelligence. According to the book and websites, what is emotional intelligence about?
3. Some of my students have taken this test and have complained that there is an obviously "right" answer for each question. So, if you answer truthfully (what you would actually do in that situation), your EQ score may be lower than if you give as your answer what you know to be the appropriate response (what you should do). How would this issue affect validity of the test (before you answer this question, what IS validity)?

*EXERCISE 4 - culture fair tests
Information about test fairness can be found at this site and the Culture-fair test website. Here is a culture fair test from Psychology Today and another memory test.
1. Using both websites, what are culture-fair tests? Why is this important to test taking (include in your answer a discussion on validity)?
2. Take one of the culture free tests and one of the IQ tests listed in the above section - how did you do on each? How did the culture free one differ from the other IQ test?
