Are the cut off levels for intellectual impairment flexible when the result from the weschler intelligence scale for children forth edition was full scale intelligence quotient of seventy one?
It depends on how the person does in real life. The IQ is only a basic guideline to if the person is below or above average (i.e. someone who is intellectually impaired will probably not get an average or above average score). ************************************************************** According to the manuals published and included with the Wechsler childrens' intelligence testing kit (WISC-IV), as well as a substantial body of research in psychometry, statistics, and neurology, the full-scale IQ scores reported by this test (or any intelligence test, for that matter) REQUIRE interpretation by a trained psychologist. In other words, a trained psychologist (and possibly also a neurologist/physician) must evaluate the following before reaching a determination that a child is "mentally retarded": (1) the full-scale IQ (FSIQ) score, plus alternate intelligence indices computed from the WISC, such as GIA. Significant differences among these indices may result in selection of an index other than the FSIQ to represent an overall intelligence assessment. (2) the condition of the client and of the environment at the time the test was given. A standard WISC report includes a discussion of the client's state of mind (frightened, frustrated, drowsy, etc) and the impact this may have had on the test results. (3) the scores on more than 10 subtests, which are also reported along with the FSIQ. Children who have an FSIQ of around 70 or less, or around 130 or more, are considered to have extreme scores. In such cases, it is not unusual for there to be a much better performance on some subtests than on others. This situation, if true, may change or even invalidate the interpretation of the FSIQ, or require the use of another overall intelligence index, such as the GIA. (4) an FSIQ can be the result of neurological deficits that are very specific (see (3) above), and which might be improved with treatment or rehabilitation. Focal neurological deficits are usually distinguished from "mental retardation", which is a pejorative and overly general term. This is not an issue of political correctness; what's important here is the ability to make distinctions between a child who has a specific learning disability and a child who has a globally diminished intellectual development. The response of professionals, parents, schools and society can and should be tailored to the specific problem identified. I should note that the typical WISC-IV reports given as examples by the test publisher run to several typewritten pages. It would not be appropriate to say that someone is mentally retarded without the benefit of the full professional report, period. I think the first think is to good distinguish the scales we want to use: Wechsler, Cattell or Binet scale. To know more about that, go here: http://www.best-iq-test.com/#IQ_Test_scales_Overview
Is intelligence associated with unhappiness?
I don't think so. I think the most intelligent people live the happiest and most fulfilling lives. Intelligent people have high morality and fear God, that is like a definition of intelligence. I believe that people who are truly intelligent trust in Jesus, have good social skills and have strong relationships. That is true wisdom to me.
