_notregistered/art_98_1c0455c30d~.jpg Our society is captivated by the notion of intelligence and measuring intelligence levels. What does this measurement indicate?

However, IQ scores have been used in research to see if there is any correlation between the scores and a person's affluence, longevity, health, and behavior.
