    Measuring the Act of Intelligence
    The measure of intelligence is the ability to change, stated theoretical physicist, Albert
    Einstein. There are many ways intelligence is considered to be measured, but the main way is
    through knowledge and information. Intelligence is determined by someones ability to be able
    to obtain information and knowledge and apply it in anyway. Somebodys obtained knowledge
    and information can be applied through their Intelligent Quotation (IQ), creativity and Emotional
    Intelligent Quotation (EIQ). To be considered smart, an individual has to have a great deal of
    academic knowledge.
    One way to decide if someone is smart is to determine how high an individuals
    Intelligent Quotation (IQ) is. In BBCs documentary Battle of the Brains, according to Vivian
    Hall, a psychologist at the University of London, the IQ test measures someones overall
    academic knowledge. Academic knowledge is obtained information applied through the IQ test,
    which is scored. This test proves that determining the intelligence of someone is considered in
    how high their score or IQ is. In Daniel Keys short story, Flowers for Algernon, Charlie, the
    main characters IQ was increased by how his grammar throughout his progress reports
    improved. The operation that Charlie took place in, increased his IQ, which was proven from his
    grammar, which is a part of academic knowledge. This information shows that someone with a
    high IQ, is considered smart, because before his operation, Charlie's grammar was worse. A high

    Stine 2
    Intelligent Quotation is one way to determine intelligence, also with the aspect of applying
    knowledge to situations.
    Creativity is another way individuals apply knowledge to situations. In BBCs
    documentary Battle of the Brains, Robert Sternberg, a professor at Tufts University, states that
    creativity is the key to knowledge. Sternbergs statement also contributes to the thought that
    obtained knowledge is applied through creativity, proving intelligence. In the short story by
    Daniel Keys, Flowers for Algernon, Charlie was able to see pictures in the Rorschach Test
    after his operation, but was not able to see pictures before. The operation Charlie was in
    increased his ability to see pictures in the ink blots, testing his creative ability. The fact that
    Charlie became more creative after his operation, proves that this trait is another aspect in
    determining if an individual is smart. Creativity is an additional way to consider if someone is
    smart, with the last idea in applying knowledge with real people.
    Emotional Intelligence Quotation (EIQ) is that last way intelligence can be applied,
    determining if someone is smart. According to Rex Jung, the professor of the MIND institute, in
    BBCs documentary Battle of the Brains, he states that emotional intelligence is just as
    important as the intelligence that is used to take a test, or someones IQ. Rex Jungs statement
    proves that EIQ is just as important as IQ, which both determine if an individual is intelligent.
    Another example is in Daniel Keys short story, Flowers for Algernon, when Charlie realized
    that people used to make fun of him and his disabilities. This occurred after his operation, but
    before it, he could not read people reacting to him. Charlie's operation, as what was said before,
    increased his intelligence, which was shown through him being able to read other peoples
    reactions compared to before. This change in him being able to read other peoples reactions,

    Stine 3
    proves that EIQ is a part in determining is someone is clever. Therefore, someones EIQ is the last
    way intelligence is determined in an individual.
    In conclusion, being able to apply obtained information or knowledge determines if
    someone is smart. To repeat, a high Intelligence Quotation (IQ) proves that someone is
    intelligent. In addition, using creativity to apply knowledge to situations also shows an individual
    is smart. Again, when someone has a high Emotional Intelligence Quotation (EIQ), they are
    considered to be smart. To conclude, whether to determine if someone is smart is measured i
    many ways like the ability to change, but mostly through knowledge and information.
