In this ever moving society, series of tests are used to find out the level of intelligence of students. An example is attached on the left. These tests includes the Complete IQ test which is use to measure one's intelligence, which is supposedly an indication of one's potential. Many top schools choose students based on their IQ level. Hence before they can be accepted into the school, these students will have to sit for such tests to access their IQ. Each school will set their own IQ criteria. An IQ of 120-140 usually means that you have above intelligence. An IQ of 140-160, you are highly intelligent and an IQ above 160 you are a genius. This allows the school to choose intellectually smarter students.
I agree with this method of selecting students. This way, the school can identify the students with similar IQs and put them in the same class. These students are then able to find out what their strengths are and develop them accordingly. Thus, allowing these students to fully develop their natural talent rather than focusing on something they are not good at.
Many people claim that these kind of tests demoralize the students with lower results. However, this only happens when the students respond to the results negatively, but if the students are positive, they would strive to work harder to outshine those so called "smarter group".
