There is no real thing called intelligence that can actually be measured although people do differ in the skills that they excercise in varying situations. After years of struggling to define just what intellience might be many psychologists gave up and decided that "intelligence is whatever the test tests!" However, most professionals and laypersons continue to believe that Intelligence tests measure some actual quality of the mind and that it can predict how a person will be able to learn in many, if not all situations.

Many lives have been damaged by the continued acceptance of these incorrect assumptions.
