The intelligence Quotient should only be used to throw light on a child's difficulties, so that we can find a way to overcome them.
(Alfred Adler)
入試は「合格者」「不合格者」を分けるために使われる。では、知能指数は何のためにあるのだろう?アドラーの言うように本来は、テストをして本人の不足分を克服するための資料としてのみ使うように開発されたはずだった。
しかし、現状は「優秀な子とアホな子」のレッテル貼りのために使われることが多い。社会が求めるのだから全面的に否定するつもりはないが、本来の使用法と異なることは指摘しておきたい。
それは、あたかも人類を進歩させるはずの科学が兵器開発に使われているようなものだ。「祖国を救うためだ」という社会の求めがあるのだから全面的に否定は出来ない。しかし、やはり人類の英知を人殺しの道具を製造するために使うのは間違いだろう。
プーチンを見ていると、やはり本来の使用法に限定すべきというアドラーの主張に耳を貸すべきなのだろう。
Entrance exams are used to separate "successful" and "unsuccessful" applicants. What, then, is the intelligence quotient for? As Adler says, it was originally supposed to be developed to be used only as a resource to test and overcome the deficiencies of the individual.
However, the current situation is that it is often used to label "good kids and dumb kids. I do not intend to deny this entirely because society demands it, but I would like to point out that this is not the way it was originally used.
It is as if science, which is supposed to advance humanity, is being used to develop weapons. I cannot deny the fact that society is demanding that this be done in order to save the homeland. However, it would be wrong to use the wisdom of mankind to manufacture tools for killing people.
Looking at Putin, I think we should listen to Adler's argument that we should limit the use of weapons to their original purpose.
