Blending a mother’s love and dedication to her daughter with incisive historical and cultural analysis, "A Measure of Intelligence" investigates the origins and influence of the IQ test on our modern education system, questions how we define and judge intelligence, challenges its flawed foundation, and argues for a fundamental reevaluation of how we understand an individual’s perceived potential.
