Below what iq score is considered to be intellectual disability. Approximately what percentageof individuals in a population fall into this category. But less consistent long term reliability e. g. infant iq x reliably predict child/adult iq child & adult iq correlated. Limit @ storage space & processing speed (proof) x increase @ mdc. Emotional intelligence: x measure @ traditional iq test -> eq test -> ability to reason abt emotions & use emotions to enhance reasoning; identify & describe. & manage own emotions & detect others emotions. High eq = less brain activation when solving emotional prob. Vs: low eq: alexithymia - x identify & describe own emotion + appreciate others emotions. High iq & low eq: x correlation; atypical dev pattern lead to this.
