Sternberg. In his article “How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing？”。 Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge， ponents also critical to problem solving and life success. Moreover， IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. Research has found that IQ predicted leadership sills when the tests were given under lowstress conditions， but under highstress conditions. IQ was negatively correlated with leadershipthat is it predicted the opposite. Anyone who bas toiled through SAT will testify that testtaking skill also matters， whether it‘s knowing when to guess or what questions of skip.element n 元素 要素 原理 成分 自然環(huán)境article n 文章 物品 條款 verbal adj 口頭的 言語的 動(dòng)詞的 照字面的fail to do 沒做成某事 無法做某事creativity n 創(chuàng)造力 創(chuàng)造性practical knowledge 實(shí)踐性知識(shí) 實(shí)用性知識(shí) ponents n 部件 組件；成分（ponent的復(fù)數(shù)）critical adj 至關(guān)重要的 決定性的 批評(píng)的 評(píng)判的 吹毛求疵的 be critical to sth 對(duì)某事來說很關(guān)鍵 critic n 批評(píng)家 評(píng)論家 吹毛求疵者 criticize v 批評(píng) 評(píng)判 責(zé)備 評(píng)論 評(píng)價(jià)critique n (關(guān)于文藝作品、哲學(xué)思想的)評(píng)論文章 評(píng)論criticism n 批評(píng) 評(píng)判 責(zé)備 非難 評(píng)論文章 評(píng)論critically adv 決定性的 關(guān)鍵性的 ；批評(píng)的 評(píng)判的 ；吹毛求疵的 predicted v 預(yù)計(jì) （predict的過去分詞）預(yù)示 adj 預(yù)測(cè)的negatively adv 消極的 （文中指反方向的 ）；否定的 correlate vi 和……相關(guān)（常和with搭配 ）toil vi 苦干 辛苦從事；艱苦的行動(dòng)，艱難的行走 testify v 證明 證實(shí) 說明 表明 testimony n 證據(jù) 證明 證詞；表明 說明 testify to 作為某事的證據(jù)testify in court 出庭作證 knowing adj 知悉的 心照不宣的；世故的，狡猾的 skip v 略過 跳過 ；蹦 跳 跳躍；略讀 跳級(jí) n 跳過 舊料筒skip breakfast 不吃早飯skip school 逃學(xué) 　　　 26.

Scholars， policymakers， and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes， but few have looked at the side effect family risk has risen as well. Today39。s families have budgeted to the limits of their new twopaycheck status. As a result they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback a backup earner （usually Mom） who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. This “addedworker effect” could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times.
