The passage raises concerns about the reliability of standard aptitude tests in assessing intelligence by arguing that intelligence is context-dependent and not just determined by academic achievement. It also emphasizes how societal expectations influence how intelligent people are perceived. I agree with Amoiv in that tests don’t define your intelligence. I think intelligence is the willingness to continue learning things that you do not know. In a sense intelligence cannot be measured because we are all unique. We all have different types of intelligence
My strengths: I have decent time management, am kind, and have good awareness.
My talents: musician
My interest: I’m interested in learning things that will benefit be financially
- My top 3 intelliegnce are musical, bodily/kinestic, and logical/mathematical. I can create, communicate and understand music. I am also good with my body and using it to solve problems. Lastly I appreciate abstract relationships and use numbers effectively.
- I agree with my test results. I went to a music high school so I know what it is to be a musician. I also really love math which is why my major is finance.
- My talent is being a musician so it makes sense why my test came out the way it did. I said my strengths wee time management, being kind, and having good awareness but in the test nothing came up.
I agree with the point you raised about intelligence not being able to be measured given that we all have unique and different intelligences. I also agree with the idea that intelligence is the willingness to continue learning things that you do not know.
I like your definition of intelligence. I also had a similar result from the intelligence quiz which was musical. It’s cool that you’re a musician, I just listen to the music.
I agree that everyone has a different sense of intelligence in different areas of our life.
