“IQ tests pay more attention to verbal ability… Infant tests pay more attention to perceptual-motor development and measures of social interaction.” (p. 151)
My question: What is an important measure today? Is intelligence just “verbal ability”?
My speculation: Obviously not. Verbal ability is not the only measure of intelligence today. Rather there is a combination of this sort of intelligence, emotional intelligence, and also assertive intelligence.
