The Human Intellect: Sites to Visit 
What is intelligence anyway???
Take the "intelligence" tests at these two sites:
Logical reasoning (research being conducted at the University of Bonn,
Germany) 
Emotional I.Q. test (a commercial site but based on a credible paper
and pencil test)
What really is intelligence? Do these tests measure anything
that you consider intelligence?

This site is enhanced by sound capabilities available through the plug-in
"RealAudio helper" which can be downloaded from the site. Even if you do
not have sound capabilities on your computer or do not want to download
the plug-in, you will still be able to do the exercises.
Read this story out loud. If you have sound capabilities and are able
to download the plug-in, you can also listen to the story. In spite of
the fact that the words on the page are very different from the meanings
intended by the words, can you understand the text by listening? What does
this show us about the importance of intonation in language comprehension?
