Features: Intelligence has long been a controversial topic. The reasons for differing views on it are not only because people have different perspectives and standpoints, but also because there is no unified definition of it in psychology. As for what should be included in intelligence, psychologists have diverse opinions. As a result, there are various theories about intelligence, with opposing viewpoints. The general public is often confused and unable to grasp the concept. In psychology, intelligence tests can be used to determine whether a person is intelligent, average, or unintelligent. The results of these tests provide an IQ score, which indicates the level of intelligence relative to the majority. A high IQ suggests that a person is more intelligent than the average person. The average IQ score is 100. If it is above 100, it indicates intelligence, and the higher the score, the more intelligent the person is. If it is below 100, the intelligence is considered lower, and scores below 70 are classified as intellectual disability. With the continuous development of psychology's understanding of intelligence, psychologists have expanded into new areas of intelligence, which is clearly reflected in Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. However, this has not yet been fully understood or accepted by the general public. In light of this, we have written this book, hoping that through our introduction, parents and teachers can have a more correct understanding of intelligence.
