The SAT. The ACT. The MCAT. The LSAT. Along with all the other tests you seen, heard of, or taken. Why do we love to test ourselves and others to see how we rank? From Spearman to Thurstone to Binet and Simon, intelligence has been redefined over the centuries. Can intelligence be measured by how good we are at painting? Math? What's the difference?
In this episode, Edward Thomas explores famous ideas of what intelligence really is, the first standardized tests, all the while asking thought-provoking questions about intelligence and ourselves.
