Download Chapter 3: What is intelligence

EDITOR
..............................................
Dear friends and subscribers to Ideacción, the Spanish journal dedicated to
giftedness.
This number of Ideacción is the result of an in-depth study by Yolanda Benito,
Jesus Moro and Juan Antonio Alonso. The research was presented at the August,
2007 World Conference: World Council for gifted and talented children, University of
Warwick, U.K. The work received such a quantity of feedback from the five continents
that it was necessary to write it up as an article for publication and nothing better than
to devote a special number to it in this Journal.
The tile is sufficiently suggestive and we are sure the reader will find it
interesting from start to finish of the eight sections of which it is comprised: “What is
intelligence? Validity of the WISC-IV test for measuring intelligence. Correction
criteria for intellectually gifted children”.
I am convinced that this special number, due to its quality, will help towards a
greater and deeper understanding of the Assessment and Diagnosis of these
pupils.
