When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school.By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation.If we want to test intelligence,we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
当我们谈论智力的时候,不是指在某些考试中取得优异成绩的能力,甚至不是指在学校中达到学业优秀的能力。我们所说的智力指的是一种生活行为的方式,特别是处于新环境或逆境中的时候。如果我们想要对智力加以测试,我们需要发现一个人如何行事而不是他对做什么了解多少。
