Still Waters Posted August 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The way children draw at the age of four can be a predictor of later intelligence, a study has suggested. Researchers asked 7,752 pairs of twins to draw a picture of a child which was then scored by the number of features such as head, legs, hands and feet. The children were also asked by the King's College, London team to complete intelligence tests at age four and 14. http://www.bbc.co.uk...cation-28852471 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted August 19, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Makes sense to me...the smarter a person is the more they tend to notice details. Like the old saying, "The devil's in the details" meaning one has to be sensitive to details if one wants to be sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightly Posted August 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 19, 2014 i'm puzzled by the inclusion of "later" intelligence. I would think that if the child has the mental capacity to notice details and communicate them in their drawing.. that child is already Intelligent?
