Intelligence

I've jus finished the Bhatias IQ test n hav realised that Intelligence is sumthing so dynamic n such an exhaustive field of study that I dont think any Test can really measure sumones intelligence in its entirety...for eg:how does one measure the intelligence of the tribals in New Guinea we learned about in social psy...who r able to navigate the high seas witout any instruments at all...who would probably fail sum of r IQ tests

Besides there r so many different types of intelligences with many overlapping ones too...like analytical, logical, musical, verbal, sensory, emotional, spiritual(...well yes spiritual too), spatial, social(social includes the areas of love n romance...now whos gonna measure that??)...etc etc etc

so though these tests can give us pointers(sumtimes accurate otherwise inaccurate) to a persons intelligence they obviously cant measure every area of Intelligence...so basically even if you havnt done well on these tests..Relax!!..ur real aptitude n intelligence may lie elsewhere.

...wotsay Folks!!
