Significance of Intelligence quotient
Intelligence quotient, commonly known as IQ, is a standardized measure of a person's intellectual capabilities, with a median value of 100 indicating typical intelligence. Various interpretations exist across disciplines such as Ayurveda, which correlates IQ with cognitive abilities and familial educational background, and science, which emphasizes standardized testing as a means to assess intelligence. While IQ scores can be indicative of intellectual potential, they may not fully predict success, reflecting broader factors like societal influences and personal karma.
