Abstract

MOLINARI, Victoria. INTELLIGENCE MEASUREMENT.: BETWEEN HISTORICAL AND CURRENT DEBATES. Anu. investig. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.287-294. ISSN 1851-1686.

The aim of this paper is to highlight the value of historical research in the scientific productions of intelligence measurement. In addition, it will be noted what the historical studies in countries such as Argentina can contribute to the general debate and why it is necessary to undertake it. This is done by the analysis of recent and classic literature on studies of intelligence and the circulation of knowledge. The relevance of the study about the contexts of production and reception bring discussions on the social consequences of measurements of intellectual level, to the table, but there are still areas which we must address with caution. Finally, the paper highlights the lack of local research and argues that its importance lies in the possibility of questioning certain universal processes that have already been studied in countries within Europe, some parts of Latin America and the United States.

Keywords : Intelligence; History; Circulation of knowledge.
