ABSTRACT
The computer as an electronic
and electromagnetic device is known for its versatile range of uses in every
area of human endeavour more especially in scientific and mathematical
calculations.
Although little thought has been given to designing a
complete and concise intelligence test on a computer system online in our
present environment. However, in developed countries where computerized games
and robot systems have been developed, computers have proved that they
constitute ways of indirectly testing intelligence.
This project is designed in order to implement an
intelligence test on a computer system online. It tries as much as possible to
incorporates the advantageous aspect of intelligence on a wide scale. It is
designed to test the intelligence of primary school leavers using the common
entrance examination and first school leaving examination as a standardized
sample, and as such the psychological implication of such a design is very
relevant.
The design in the system is quite simple and easy to
understand. Its flexibility make it amendable for future changes and amendment
to either incorporate other aspects of intelligence or to be designed for any
other school age or class.
The questions of this intelligence test are programmed and
visuals displayed on computer systems screen in a very interactive form. The
student answers the question on the computer system.
The results obtained from the test gives an estimate of
user’s (pupil’s) intelligence quotient (IQ). This is equally displayed and
tells the pupil in what category he/she falls within. The result of the test is
also displayed at the end of the test which goes a long way to lessen the fears
of pupil’s that they were market down in the examination.
ORGANISATION OF
WORK
This project work is fragmented into different chapters.
Chapter one deals with the introduction, background of the study, statement of
problem, purpose of the study, aims and objectives of the study, delimitation
and scope of study, limitation and definition of terms.
Chapter two reviews the related literature. Chapter three
deals on the description and analysis of the existing system, facts finding
method, the objectives of the existing system, input process and output
specification, information flow diagram, the problems of the existing system
and the justification for the new system.
The design of the new system is seen in chapter four, which
consists of input specification and design, procedure chart, system flowchart
and systems requirement.
The system is implemented in chapter five, which also
includes the program design, program flowchart and source program.
Chapter six deals on the system’ documentation. The last
chapter which is chapter seven consists of the recommendation, the conclusion,
appendices and references.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF STUDY
In the past years, ability test were used in admitting
students into secondary and technical schools. For instance, the common
entrance examination and aptitude test which measures both aptitude,
intelligence and achievement. The aptitude test measure accomplished skills and
indelicate what a person can do at present.
But the essential requirements for any test include
reliability, validity and uniform testing procedure. The test which measure
general intelligence ability are often called “INTELLIGENCE TEST”.
Intelligence test are usually designed and implemented for a
group of candidates to access the nature and course of metal development,
intellectual associated with age, sex and facial membership, differences that
might be attributed to hereditary or to environmental factors, differences
among persons at different occupational level and among their children.
Intellectual and other traits of a typical group such as the mentally gifted,
the mentally retarded, the nautical an the psychotic.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
A close look at the operations of the Enugu state post
primary education board (SPEB) and the Ministry of Education, the organizers of
common Entrance Examination and First School Leaving Examination shows that a
part of these examination comes as objective questions and the answer expected
to be marked by computers, while the
theory section of the examination which of course carries the greater mark is
marked by examiners leaving much to be desired especially in the Nigerian
Context of it.
More so, in admitting pupil’s into secondary school or
technical schools, differences among parents at different occupational level
and among their wards, residence of pupil’s or where their homes are located
and facial or physical attributes may lead to bias. Instead of admitting only
qualified students, non-qualified students may also be admitted.
Again, the delay in the release of common Entrance
Examination result and also the delay in admitting pupil’s causes anxiety on
the pupil’s that participated in the examination the area of intelligence test,
mental abilities and their measurements, computer Assisted learning (CAL), The
nature of intelligence and scholastic Aptitude test (SAT).
1.3 Aims and Objectives
the prime objective of this topic “Computer Based
Intelligence Test System (C-BITS)” is to enhance the use and process of the
test of intelligence and intelligence quotient (IQ) in individuals.
This test enables an Institution to access the intelligence capabilities of pupil’s to be admitted into high School (Secondary School or technical schools).
This project aims at an improved situation where the Common Entrance Examination and first school leaving certificate Examination will be conducted and taken online using the computer system and internet facilities.
