The Factors of Intelligence Development and Individual Performance

Abstract

The study presents some approaches to the factors, composition and measurement of human intelligence. Thus, within the psychometric approach, there is clear evidence that intelligence is
more influenced by the genetic heritage of the person than by the cultural heritage of society. The conclusion of some researches on intelligence assessment is that subjects who get high scores in
some specific tasks have the tendency to respond well to the other categories of tests. On the contrary, those who get lower scores or weaker results obtain the same results in the other tests too.
