Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership – that is, it predicted the opposite.
?、賁uch standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg.
②In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”, Sternberg notes that traditional test best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success.
?、跰oreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change.
?、躌esearch has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership – that is, it predicted the opposite.
?、軦nyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.

?、?論點(diǎn):總)羅伯特·J·斯特恩伯格認(rèn)為,這類標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化測(cè)試也許并不能評(píng)估對(duì)于學(xué)業(yè)和生活的成功來(lái)說(shuō)必須的所有重要因素。
?、?具體:分1)斯特恩伯格在他的“智力測(cè)試有多大可信度?”一文中指出,傳統(tǒng)的智商測(cè)試能夠很好地評(píng)估分析能力和語(yǔ)言能力,但不能評(píng)估創(chuàng)造能力和實(shí)踐能力,而這兩個(gè)因素對(duì)于解決問(wèn)題和在生活中取得成功也至關(guān)重要。
?、?并列:分2)此外,一旦測(cè)試群體或情景發(fā)生改變,智商測(cè)試不一定能做出準(zhǔn)確的預(yù)測(cè)。
?、?結(jié)果:分3)研究發(fā)現(xiàn),在壓力小的環(huán)境下進(jìn)行測(cè)試,智商能夠正確地反映出領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力的高低;但是在壓力大的情況下,智商與領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力呈負(fù)相關(guān)關(guān)系——也就是說(shuō),根據(jù)智商分?jǐn)?shù)預(yù)測(cè)出的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力與實(shí)際情況相反。
⑤(并列:分4)任何參加過(guò)“學(xué)術(shù)評(píng)估測(cè)驗(yàn)”的人都可以證明,應(yīng)試技能也很重要,比如知道何時(shí)應(yīng)該猜測(cè)或者什么題目可以略過(guò)不答。
