1. Do you think intelligence testing should be abandoned?

Are there situations where IQ tests do more good than harm, and vice versa? I believe that intelligence testing should not be abandoned but it should only be used as a reference and not the basis for determining a person's ability to learn. This is because it is often theorized that there are multiple intelligences but in most standard tests, they only test verbal and mathematical aptitude. Thus, they are completely ignoring the other intelligences, such as Gardner's eight intelligences, and can cause subjects to be inaccurately judged. IQ tests can also do more harm than good. For example, during college acceptances, colleges often use the SAT as a judgment. This can allow colleges to incorrectly assess students causing some students, with differing intelligences, to be rejected by their desired colleges. 2. What do you think will be the future of intelligence testing? I believe that future intelligence tests would be more specific, allowing people with different intelligences to express their strengths and recognize their weaknesses. Colleges should also adopt new intelligence tests that represent the majors that are more prominent, allowing them to fairly judge students who want to go into that major. 3. What are your general thoughts on intelligence, both as a definition and as something that is tested? I believe that intelligence is relative to your culture and your population so the definition of intelligence could be quite unclear. Thus, if intelligence can not be correctly defined, how can it be correctly assessed. Therefore, I believe it should not be tested, especially in the nowadays term.
