When you get to the webpage, scroll down a bit and click the “VoD” link to the right of the program description for Video #16 called “Testing and Intelligence”. This video is about 26-minutes in length. Point out which part of the video you found most interesting or intriguing? Explain why.

2.   The chapter presented ways in which intelligence is measured through IQ tests. Do you think intelligence can be measured as a single “ability” (i.e., general intelligence) or can it be ability-specific in that one kind of intelligence may be mutually exclusive of other abilities? In other words, do you think that there is a “general intelligence” or are there “multiple intelligences”? Explain your answer.
