你有多聰明？（測驗）：英語精讀講義

You hear about the IQs of famous people,

你常會聽說名人的智商，

but how is intelligence measured and how do you stack up? 片語動詞

但智力究竟是怎麼衡量的，你自己的水準又如何呢？

First, we're going to look at your emotional intelligence.

首先，我們來看看你的情緒智商。

One of the most common tests involves identifying emotions in people's faces. 文法

最常見的測驗之一，就是辨認人們臉上的情緒。

For example, what is this expression?

例如，這是什麼表情？

So, let's look at a more ubiquitous test for intelligence, 用詞

接著，我們來看看一種更常見的智力測驗，

the IQ test, also known as the intelligence quotient. 片語搭配

也就是 IQ 測驗，IQ 指的是「智力商數」。

It's a standardized test that assesses both verbal and non-verbal abilities.

這是一種標準化測驗，會同時評估語言和非語言能力。

as well as a solid bar, a lined bar, and an empty bar. 片語搭配

同時也有一個實心長條、一個條紋長條和一個空心長條。

Since this bottom row has a triangle and a diamond,

最下方這一排已經有三角形和菱形，

we know the next one's a square,

所以下一個應該是正方形，

and it also has a lined and an empty bar,

而且這一排已經有條紋長條和空心長條，

so we know we need a solid bar.

所以還需要一個實心長條。

The direction of the bar is also the same in each line.

每一排中長條的方向也都相同。

Though IQ tests are common, other ways to test if you're smart do exist. 文法

雖然 IQ 測驗很常見，但還有其他方法可以測試你是否聰明。

Song one?

第一首？

Song two?

第二首？

Or song three?

還是第三首？

If you guessed clip three, you have a good sense of pitch. 片語搭配

如果你猜的是第三段音訊，表示你的音高感很好。

Though not fully understood, you could be tone-deaf and still have perfect hearing, 用詞

雖然原因還沒有完全弄清楚，但即使你無法分辨音高，聽力也可能完全正常，

but how your brain interprets the sounds may make it difficult to interpret pitch. 文法

只是大腦處理聲音的方式，可能讓你難以判斷音高。

Now, what about your visual intelligence?

If you're good at the Ziggerin task, you may have higher visual intelligence, 文法

如果你在 Ziggerin 任務中表現很好，視覺智慧可能比較高，

which is not the same as IQ,

這和 IQ 並不相同，

but it could mean that you'll excel at tasks like matching fingerprints, interpreting medical X-rays, or keeping track of aircraft on radar displays. 片語搭配

但這可能表示，你會擅長比對指紋、判讀醫學 X 光片，或追蹤雷達顯示器上的飛機等任務。

Now, not all intelligences can be measured. 文法

不過，並非所有智慧都能測量。

一項以芭蕾舞課中 4 歲兒童為對象的研究，無法有效評估節奏感，因為

some had already taken classes before or danced at home, creating predisposed knowledge. 講解

有些孩子以前上過課或在家跳過舞，已經有了相關經驗。

As well, many tests require a combination of many types of intelligences, 表達脈絡

此外，許多測驗都需要綜合運用多種智慧，

so it's hard to study just one.

所以很難只研究其中一種。
