Does IQ Matter?
Monday June 30, 2008
Have you ever wondered what you would score on an IQ test? Do you think your score would mean anything? As a matter of fact, experts can't agree whether the single measurement of your intelligence quotient matters.
Some educational psychologists maintain that the IQ is important for determining what occupations a person might be able to handle and how successful a person will be in life. Others say that all types of intelligence are important, and that factors like determination and fortitude play a big role in each person's success.
What do you think? Do you know your IQ score? Do you know what score is considered genius level? Do you think it matters?

Hello, Grace.
As with most things, there’s a danger with too much focus on IQ scores. Our measured intelligence is just one perspective on what we can achieve. However, new research shows that intelligence isn’t the fixed quantity that it was long thought to be. This exciting finding means we’re not stuck with one score forever.
I was so impressed by the research that I developed a computer program anyone can use to benefit from the research and increase his or her intelligence, scoring higher on IQ tests and SATs.
