  Intelligence for Dummies is a short book that describes and analysis various topics about intelligence in general. It may be said that the book serves as an introduction to the basics of intelligence. The basics may include; the actual definition of intelligence and how this is specifically measured, how the intelligence of an individual is affected by nature (genetics) versus nurture (environment) and how these factors will affect the forming of ones intelligence potential. The interaction between intelligence and the natural world; how humans use their understanding of intelligence to benefit in unique situations; the impact of scientific and technological advances on the nurture of intelligence, in other words the modern implications of intelligence, will also be discussed.
  
  About the Author
  Jan Wouters is a student at the International School Hilversum, the Netherlands. This short book is the outcome of an extremely important project, which is mandatory for each student; this project is referred to as the Personal Project. This project is an experience, which involves developing and researching a subject, which interests the student; it is the culmination of all the skills and knowledge I have acquired and developed throughout my school life until now.
  
  Jan decided to focus his project on the basics of intelligence; the controversial definitions of intelligence and how intelligence is specifically measured (IQ), and if this method can even be trusted; how intelligence is affected by nature (genetics) versus nurture (environment) and how these factors will affect the forming of ones intelligence potential.
  
  As part of his research he has gained access to reliable sources for data collection, which he has done by reading various articles by psychologists who are experts in the field of intelligence, and even interviewing some of these experts, and at the same time analysed this data so he could alter it to a standard at which it is understandable at a high school student level.
