Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Isaac Asimov Isaac Asimov en 1965. Œuvres principales Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Enfance russe[modifier | modifier le code] Issu d’une famille juive, fils de Judah Asimov et de Anna Rachel Berman, Isaac naquit à Petrovitchi — près de Smolensk, en Russie — à une date inconnue, entre le 4 octobre 1919 et le 2 janvier 1920 (c’est à cette date-ci qu'il célébrait son anniversaire, adulte)[2]. Éducation et carrière[modifier | modifier le code] À la maison, à Brooklyn, les parents ne parlaient russe que quand « ses grandes oreilles ne devaient pas entendre »[5] : il n'apprit donc jamais la langue. Asimov se définit comme un enfant prodige. Ses études furent assez brillantes pour lui permettre, grâce à une bourse, d’entrer à l’université Columbia. Parallèlement, il commença à écrire de la science-fiction et vit sa première nouvelle, Marooned Off Vesta (Au large de Vesta), publiée en 1939. Vie privée et carrière[modifier | modifier le code]
What Is Intelligence, Anyway?
What Is Intelligence, Anyway? By Isaac Asimov What is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the army, I received the kind of aptitude test that all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160. (It didn't mean anything. All my life I've been registering scores like that, so that I have the complacent feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who make up the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents similar to mine? For instance, I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80, by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hastened to him with it, watched him anxiously as he explored its vitals, and listened to his pronouncements as though they were divine oracles - and he always fixed my car.
