Intelligence, aptitude and achievement are assessed in a variety of contexts and for a variety of purposes. How different cultures value and measure each of these factors might call into question the results of an assessment taken in one country versus another.

First, locate and review a scholarly article that addresses the assessment of achievement, intelligence or career aptitude from a country other than the United States. Be sure to use the university library or search Google Scholar or DOAJ.org to locate a full-text, peer-reviewed article. Cite the article in your initial response to the following prompt.

Consider the theory of multiple intelligences.

• What does this say about Western cultures in terms of what is defined and valued as intelligence, aptitude or achievement in work or education or other settings?
