Smartness is a different concept from intelligence because it does not mean having a high level of intelligence but it generally refers to the efficient use of intelligence that a person has. There are diverse opinions on this issue. Some people believe that having a high level of IQ means being smart whereas others claim that acting right can be associated with being smart. However, since smartness differs from intelligence, it cannot be said that smartness is limited to one type of intelligence. That is to say, being smart is not equal to having and using only one type of intelligence, but having all types of intelligences which include practical, social and emotional intelligences as well as using them effectively.
Meaning, if someone excels in mathematics, does not mean that person is capable of painting or creating art (Ghraibeh, 2012). Gardner’s theory was unique, he looked the individual person and their intelligence based on one specific person. Realizing that people are intelligent each in their own way, Gardner’s theory was based on the question of “how are you smart?” compared to the basic question of “how smart are you?” Gardner’s research made him realize that there were many different types of intelligence. Gardner found that the list consisted of eight different yet separate intelligences, that Gardner studied and made a list of eight individual intelligences. The eight distinctive intelligences consist of; linguistic, musical, naturalist, logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, interpersonal and intrapersonal (Kowalski, R. and Westen,D., 2011).
The research suggests that capacity of short term memory could only be enlarged by grouping items together known as chunking. By chunking information, we are more likely able to remember it whether in single or combined forms which is why it’s known as the magical number seven plus or minus two. However, the experiment could also be criticised in the sense that there could have been experimenter bias and demand characteristics. It also isn’t ecologically valid since people don’t have to memorise random letter and numbers all the time. Nevertheless,
Therefore individuals could score highly in one type of intelligence (e.g. numerical ability) but low in another (e.g. word fluency). Guilford supported Thurstone by arguing that identifying intelligence as a single mental ability (g) is
LSI Self Assessment GM 591: Keller Graduate School Part I: Personal Thinking Styles (primary, backup, limiting) My primary style of thinking and acting is the avoidance style. Human Synergistic International states that a person with the avoidance thinking style generally lays low when things get difficult and stressful. This type of person tends to avoid conflict and can have trouble making decisions. This type of person can also be non-committal due to the difficulty in making decisions. My 92 percentile score in this avoidance category means I scored higher than 92% of a group of 9,207 people that previously took this life styles inventory self evaluation.
Grandin doesn’t believe mankind would be where it is today if not for the autistic discoveries. Great minds like Einstein and Mozart would be considered autistic by today’s standards. Temple stresses the importance of different cognitive thought processes of the autistic mind versus the non-autistic . Three main autistic processes she talks about are: “Visual thinking, pattern minds, verbal mind. Visual thinking is thinking with images instead of streams of words or thoughts, poor at algebra.
Believing that intelligence was mainly (though not exclusively) a matter of having the right genes, Galton reasoned that superior intelligence would be a reflection of superior physical development of brain and body; if so, then simple physical measures might provide a reliable index of intellectual prowess. To investigate this possibility, he set about measuring a variety of physical variables, such as reaction time and grip strength, and looked for a correlation between these measures and measures of success in endeavors thought to reflect intellectual ability, such as one's class rank in school or one's occupational level. Unfortunately for Galton's hypothesis, no such relationship was evident, and Galton's attempt must be counted a
I scored high in this trait. I agree with my score because I am a very organized person. 4. Neuroticism- high degree of negative emotionality, especially anxiety, depression. My score was a 1.88, I scored low in this trait.
Individually these elements would not be as effective because a state could earn high test scores because of unequal spending per student, and vice versa. This is where the argument is the strongest, but there are, however, weaker parts of the argument. For example, the arguer does not touch on issues which also have implications on why the schools are preforming the way they are. In the paper he states as part of his argument, “think tanks rate sates on things like class size and teacher pay among other things.” He does not, however, touch on these differences which might be the reason why Utah is doing seemingly better than Florida. There are no statistics provided in the argument comparing class size, teacher pay, or socioeconomic conditions which may leave a reader wondering if other factors are to blame for Florida’s poor performance.
This deliberate use of Adderall to gain better grades puts ADHD students at a further disadvantage because there is no other means by which the field could be leveled once more. This therefore qualifies as treating an ADHD student as a mere means. This can be said because the non-ADHD student is negatively affecting the end of another
