Document Summary
Case: leilani muir kept trying to get pregnant. Went to the doctor & found out her fallopian tubes had been surgically destroyed, permanently sterilizing her. Was put through misguided intelligence tests as teenager, scored lower than average of 70 (her score: 64). Was forced into sterilization without consent or knowledge (told her appendix needed removal). Did the iq test later & scored 89 so she sued the gov"t of alberta. to measure intelligence rely on testing bc has no objective standard to which we can compare our measures to see if they"re accurate. Sir francis galton believed ppl learned about world through senses (i. e. ppl w/ superior sensory abilities = more sensitively attuned to world & can learn more) Anthropometrics methods of measuring physical and mental variation in humans. Intelligence ability to think, understand, reason and adapt to or overcome obstacles. Intelligence reflects how well ppl able to reason, solve problems + their accumulated knowledge.
