2. Motabi is from the Congo. He is arguing with his developmental psychology classmates about the meaning of intelligence. Motabi insists that different cultures construct their own paradigms of intelligence and that intelligence in the Congo is a very different concept from intelligence in Illinois. Is there any evidence to support Motabi's argument?

3. Maureen and Harry received a letter from the elementary school principal suggesting that they enroll their daughter, Jasmine, in the gifted program. They know what Jasmine's IQ score is -125 - certainly not in the genius category. Is there more to giftedness than IQ score? What talents might Jasmine's teachers have noticed in her that may qualify her as being gifted?
