TLDRThe content discusses the controversial nature of intelligence in psychology, referencing the theories of Bob Sternberg and Howard Gardner. It critiques the broad and often inappropriate use of the term 'intelligence,' particularly in educational psychology, arguing it leads to a diluted understanding. The distinction between talent and intelligence is emphasized, with a call for rigorous construct validity to affirm that different types of intelligence correlate significantly. The speaker concludes with a note on the unique predictive validity of IQ in social sciences.

    The concept of intelligence is controversial, with psychologists continuously discovering new types. Prominent figures like Bob Sternberg and Howard Gardner proposed practical intelligence and multiple intelligences theory, respectively, impacting educational psychology. Gardner identified various intelligences, leading to debates about their validity. The speaker argues against broadening the definition of intelligence, claiming it dilutes its meaning and confuses it with talents. They emphasize the need for clear distinctions, suggesting construct validity tests and correlations to differentiate intelligence from talent, leading to the assertion that IQ has unparalleled predictive validity in social science.

    The speaker believes that the broad application of the term 'intelligence' confuses its meaning and suggests that talents should be distinguished from intelligence.

  • What is the importance of construct validity?

    Construct validity is essential to demonstrate whether different abilities correlate highly enough to be considered the same intelligence.

  • 00:00:00
    intelligence is an interesting concept
  • 00:00:02
    it's very controversial in fact if
  • 00:00:08
    you one of the things that continually
  • 00:00:10
    happens over and over again in
  • 00:00:11
    Psychology is that psychologists
  • 00:00:13
    discover all sorts of new kinds of
  • 00:00:15
    intelligence and you know the biggest
  • 00:00:17
    two proponents of that sort of thing I
  • 00:00:20
    suppose were Bob Sternberg who came up
  • 00:00:22
    with this thingy called practical
  • 00:00:23
    intelligence and then Howard Gardner who
  • 00:00:25
    came up with the theory of multiple
  • 00:00:26
    intelligences which had a very large
  • 00:00:29
    effect on educational
  • 00:00:31
    psychology um when the theory was first
  • 00:00:33
    proposed and that's not saying much
  • 00:00:35
    because generally speaking it's very
  • 00:00:37
    difficult to find a discipline that's
  • 00:00:40
    more susceptible to Fabs than
  • 00:00:41
    educational psychology and as far as I
  • 00:00:44
    can tell generally speaking each fat is
  • 00:00:46
    worse than the previous one so you know
  • 00:00:50
    Gardner posited that I think there were
  • 00:00:53
    seven oh there they are seven or eight
  • 00:00:56
    different intelligences linguistic
  • 00:00:58
    musical logical mathem ma matical
  • 00:01:00
    spatial body kinesthetic intrapersonal
  • 00:01:04
    and interpersonal and people talk about
  • 00:01:06
    emotional intelligence and they talk
  • 00:01:08
    about practical intelligence and as far
  • 00:01:10
    as I'm concerned all of that's complete
  • 00:01:12
    rubbish and there's technical reasons
  • 00:01:15
    for that I mean there's Technical and
  • 00:01:17
    philosophical reasons for that the first
  • 00:01:19
    thing is you can't just mess up a word
  • 00:01:23
    you know the whole point of having a
  • 00:01:24
    word is so that it defines some things
  • 00:01:26
    it describes some things and doesn't
  • 00:01:28
    describe other things right and so you
  • 00:01:30
    can you can make the word intelligence
  • 00:01:34
    account for whatever you want so you can
  • 00:01:36
    say that the ability you dance is a form
  • 00:01:39
    of
  • 00:01:40
    intelligence but the problem with that
  • 00:01:42
    is you blur out the word so badly you
  • 00:01:44
    can't tell what it means anymore and so
  • 00:01:46
    and I would also point out we had
  • 00:01:48
    perfectly good words for those major
  • 00:01:50
    intelligences we called them talents and
  • 00:01:53
    so it's perfectly reasonable to make a
  • 00:01:55
    distinction between a talent and
  • 00:01:57
    intelligence now you might say well how
  • 00:01:59
    the hell do you know the difference like
  • 00:02:01
    if if things look similar to some degree
  • 00:02:04
    then how do you know if they're the same
  • 00:02:06
    or different well that's exactly what
  • 00:02:08
    you do when you do the construct
  • 00:02:09
    validity process so let's say you rated
  • 00:02:13
    a number of people on their dancing
  • 00:02:15
    ability and then you rated the number of
  • 00:02:17
    people on their ability to multiply two
  • 00:02:19
    digit two two-digit numbers in their
  • 00:02:21
    head quickly well then you see
  • 00:02:25
    technically if both of those were
  • 00:02:27
    intelligences then the people who could
  • 00:02:29
    dance Better Could multiply two-digit
  • 00:02:31
    numbers faster in their head and that
  • 00:02:34
    they would be
  • 00:02:36
    slightly positive
  • 00:02:40
    sorry see that's what happens when I
  • 00:02:42
    don't have any Diet
  • 00:02:43
    [Music]
  • 00:02:45
    Coke so anyways if intelligence was the
  • 00:02:49
    right word to subsume both of those then
  • 00:02:53
    what you'd see is there would be a high
  • 00:02:55
    correlation the people who were good
  • 00:02:56
    dancers would also be the ones who could
  • 00:02:58
    multiply most rapidly
  • 00:03:00
    and I mean multiply in their head
  • 00:03:05
    um but that but you're not going to be
  • 00:03:08
    able to extract out a single Factor like
  • 00:03:10
    that it's just not it's just not the
  • 00:03:12
    case that those things associate like
  • 00:03:14
    that so for something to be one
  • 00:03:21
    phenomena the things that
  • 00:03:27
    it obviously I've talked too much this
  • 00:03:31
    semester all the things that are
  • 00:03:34
    subsumed under that definition have to
  • 00:03:37
    be correlated and highly correlated
  • 00:03:39
    because otherwise they're not the same
  • 00:03:41
    thing it's the definition of the same
  • 00:03:43
    thing now IQ is a very
  • 00:03:47
    peculiar
  • 00:03:49
    construct a very unique construct from a
  • 00:03:52
    psychological perspective but also more
  • 00:03:55
    generally from a social science
  • 00:03:56
    perspective because
  • 00:03:58
    IQ has the most predictive validity of
  • 00:04:01
    anything ever discovered in the social
  • 00:04:03
    sciences period
