ASSESSMENT OF INTELLIGENCE

• Discuss the relationship exists between intelligence and school success as well as between intelligence and occupational status and success (chapter 7).

• Select a minimum of 3 scholarly articles (at least 2 must have been published in the last 10 years). These articles will focus on various sides of the debate you are discussing.

Naturally, the course text may be cited as well.

• Information from the articles should be adequately integrated in your paper with appropriate APA in-text citations and reference page.

Suggested Organization:

Introduction: Purpose and content of paper

History of issue and relevance of paper (why is it needed):

• Has the use of this issue been debated before in literature?

• Discuss different positions debated and provide context for how the information relates to your current discussion

Main discussion of question and integrated scholarly work:

• With regard to relevance, there are theories that outline multiple intelligences that focus on broad skill sets (e.g., Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences). What are the pros/cons of identifying multiple intelligences vs. global intelligence skills?

• Research should also be focused on what if any relationship exists between intelligence and school success as well as between intelligence and occupational status and success?

Summary conclusion:

• Final review of findings in literature
• Overall conclusions (including your own thoughts on the issues)
• Possible direction for future research with context

Additional Paper Guidelines:

• 5-7 pages, proper formatting
• Clear organization/complete thoughts
• Proper grammar/spelling/punctuation
