Question: what do we mean by IQ

George Githinji answered on 18 Jan 2017:

IQ means intelligence quotient. It is a controversial score delivered from a standardised test to measure human intelligence. The higher the score the more intelligence you are. Lately many experts have questioned the idea of an IQ because it does not measure everything about human intelligence and has obvious bias depending on the environment in which someone is raised. Emotional intelligence is often not captured by IQ tests and it is believed that emotional intelligence plays a larger role in making or arriving at smart decisions.
