Imagine for a moment that you were an alien and I was trying to describe a particular person's (a human) personality to you. How useful would it be to tell you that he was "quick tempered"? Without having a point of comparison, that information alone wouldn't be much use to you. IQ is much the same; IQ scores only have meaning in juxtaposition with other individuals. Even human intelligence as a species only has meaning if compared with other species. Comparison is often the only we way can ascribe meaning to most measurements. |
