IQ

When Carr talks about the IQ tests majoring in psychology psychologists give a student a number of ways to measure what intelligence like the g factor. I remember when I took an IQ test and thought back how accurate is this really? It seemed like the administers asked me the most irrelevant questions and it felt like a total waste of my time. I have always thought there are multiple kinds of intelligence because not one person is alike. because of that fact I don't think the way a person learns could be the exact cookie cutter same either. which leads me to the thought that everyone must have some kinds of different forms of intelligence. I think a person can be very prestigious and book smart without really knowing street smarts and just wisdom of how life works. we had a discussion in class about intelligence and what a person does with it. a classic example is Jim Morrison from the musical group The Doors had an IQ of 140. Which is considered gifted. What he chose to do with it was up to him in the end. I also do believe in some cases people who have not received all parts of formal education can be incredibly smart. i think this because maybe the fact that they did not receive what is considered to be proper education has motivated to work harder than the average person. Which pushes them and excels them to do great things. Albert Einstein had dyslexia but had some amazing theories. Galileo was laughed at and almost hung because his rules went against the Catholic Church yet he was the first scientist to look through a microscope and find that Jupiter had rings. Leonardo Divinchi is considered a great and fantastic painter although by his fellow town neighbors he was considered odd. he slept with his shoes on and had a mild form of obsessive compulsive disorder. Intelligence is not one shape, one size, or one fits all. it truly cannot be measured.
