Intelligence
as Trait—and State?
Robert

J. Intell. 2014, 2(1), 4-5
A very short, thought provoking comment.
Here is the abstract:
We tend
to think of intelligence as trait-like. However, with increasing use of
psychoactive drugs that enhance performance on psychometric tests of
intelligence, investigators need to think of intelligence also as having
state-like properties. Questions of the ethics of such drug use will need to be
faced in the field of high-stakes psychometric testing as they now are being
faced in professional athletics.
