This study examines the structure of self-estimates of intelligence (SEI) across 12 nations (Australia, Austria, Brazil, France, Iran, Israel, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, UK and US). Participants rated themselves on general and specific abilities from three popular models of intelligence: Gardner's multiple intelligences, Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence, and Goleman's em...

I. Q. throughout their entire school life. So definite has the belief become that the I. Q. is unchangeable that many children are judged mentally on the basis of a Binet test without sufficient time having elapsed to determine whether their I. Q. would remain constant or not. Children whose mental level remains constant, relative to their increasing years, return a constant I. Q. A considerati...

Any educational system strongly requires teachers’ commitment. Meanwhile, job satisfaction (JS) apparently reinforces their organisational commitment (OC), and also OC will probably, in turn, lead to JS even more. Additionally, unilateral focus on intelligence quotient (IQ) cannot definitely nurture the scientific practical capabilities of students proportionally. Thus, simultaneous attention n...

In this paper, we propose a novel framework for IQ estimation using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data. In particular, we devise a new feature selection method based on an extended dirty model for jointly considering both element-wise sparsity and group-wise sparsity. Meanwhile, due to the absence of large dataset with consistent scanning protocols for the IQ estimation, we integrate multipl...
