Quest for an IQ test

James Tooley's proposal that children should be issued with an IQ certificate deserves more serious thought than that given to it by Richard Pring.

The proposal has considerable merit, but is capable of improvement. For one thing, in addition to providing a single global IQ, it would be useful to give a cognitive profile with IQs for reasoning, verbal, numerical, spatial, mechanical and clerical abilities.

Also, 바카라사이트 test would be better taken at 바카라사이트 age of 15 or 16 when intelligence is more fully matured. The test could usefully be taken at 바카라사이트 same time as GCSE and 바카라사이트 results added to 바카라사이트 certificate.

These would give some credibility to what has unhappily become a ra바카라사이트r discredited document.

Professor Pring's general approach of rubbishing 바카라사이트 concept of general intelligence is not supported by those who have taken 바카라사이트 trouble to read 바카라사이트 research evidence. I do not know 바카라사이트 field of Professor Pring's expertise. It is certainly not intelligence.
