How do you decide if someone is smart? One way is to find (A)     the person’s intelligence quotient(智商),or IQ.
A 12-year-old girl recently took an IQ test. People found her IQ is higher than Albert Einstein’s and Stephen Hawkings! Rajauri Pawar, an Indian girl studying in England, scored 162 in the famous Mensa IQ test,reported the Independent. Mensa, founded in England in 1946, is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. To become a Mensa member, you must have an IQ that falls in the top 2 percent of the population that take the tests. Hawking got a score of 160. Although Einstein never took the test,(B)Hawking’s  his,said,as, would,same,experts,score,the,be.
However, what does having a high IQ mean? Will those with a high IQ definitely become the next Einstein or Hawking?
Not necessarily, Most IQ tests,including the Mensa one, test one’s ability in math, language and memory. However these tests didn’t test abilities of knowing how to make things work, according to Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, US. It doesn’t test your creativity or curiosity, either. Also a lot of things can affect one’s IQ score, including poverty, nutrition(营养) , stress and how familiar you are with the tests.
Lisa Van Gemert, a Mensa expert, said that good habits, perseverance and a strong work ethic are just as important as intelligence.(C)“If you don’t develop those other qualities,you can waste a smart IQ. ” she said.
