The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be.
①The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be.
②The test comes primarily in two forms: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both come in adult and children’s version).
③Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web.
④Superhigh scores like vos Savant’s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100.
⑤Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.
参考译文
①(论点:总)虽然现在智商测试已经不像以前那么频繁地使用,但是智商分数似乎仍然是定义人类智力的术语。
②(具体:分1)智商测试主要有两种形式:斯坦福—比奈智力量表和韦氏智力量表(二者都有成人和儿童版本)。
③(并列:分2)虽然这两种测试形式的改编版本常常可以在书店和互联网上见到,但它们通常只由心理学家提供,费用一般为几百美元。
④(并列:分3)莎凡那样的超高分数不可能再重现,因为现在分数的计算是以同龄群体分数分布为基础的,而不是简单地用智力年龄除以实足年龄再乘以 100。
⑤(并列:分4)其它的标准化测试,比如学术评估测验和研究生入学考试,都具有智商测试的主要特点。
