Perception of Intelligence For this Assignment, consider how cultures interpret intelligence differently. Reflect on how various cultures measure intelligence. Use African culture and, in addition, select another culture that defines intelligence differently. Consider how you might test different cognitive abilities (e.g., memory, organization, and visualization) in each of these two different cultures. The Assignment 4 pages Describe the two cultures, one being African, you selected and compare how each culture perceives intelligence. Explain three cultural factors that might influence how intelligence is perceived in each culture you selected. Explain how you might measure intelligence in each culture and why you selected this method. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.
