Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership – that is, it predicted the opposite.
?、賁uch standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg.
?、贗n his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”, Sternberg notes that traditional test best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success.
?、跰oreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change.
?、躌esearch has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership – that is, it predicted the opposite.
?、軦nyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.

?、?論點:總)羅伯特·J·斯特恩伯格認為,這類標準化測試也許并不能評估對于學業(yè)和生活的成功來說必須的所有重要因素。
②(具體:分1)斯特恩伯格在他的“智力測試有多大可信度?”一文中指出,傳統(tǒng)的智商測試能夠很好地評估分析能力和語言能力,但不能評估創(chuàng)造能力和實踐能力,而這兩個因素對于解決問題和在生活中取得成功也至關重要。
?、?并列:分2)此外,一旦測試群體或情景發(fā)生改變,智商測試不一定能做出準確的預測。
④(結果:分3)研究發(fā)現,在壓力小的環(huán)境下進行測試,智商能夠正確地反映出領導能力的高低;但是在壓力大的情況下,智商與領導能力呈負相關關系——也就是說,根據智商分數預測出的領導能力與實際情況相反。
?、?并列:分4)任何參加過“學術評估測驗”的人都可以證明,應試技能也很重要,比如知道何時應該猜測或者什么題目可以略過不答。
