three weeks ago, i went to one of the AIESEC episodes to discuss about issues, one of the topics was does examination evaluates your intelligence?
it was very interesting, but we had limited time to discuss about it.I will elaborate and mention things of what we have discussed and i will add some additional information from me.
i said, well it depends on what type of examination; school exams, daily life exams/test, then we could agree whether it evaluates our intelligent or not.
let's talk about our daily life examination/quiz test first, since its simple, i will mention two examples, first our capabilities in leadership and whatsoever and business.
Our parents, relatives, officers, lecturers and those who lived longer than us, sometimes they ask us few questions/ notice few things from us, and from our feedback/reactions they evaluate and could discover how good we are on something, if we are wise enough they would recommend us as a director, if we are strong and friendly they would recommend us as a leader, etc.
Senior businessmen who has experience in marketing for many years, when we try to market our product or costumers they could notice their interest and use key words to market their products. that comes from their daily life experience, the first time when they market their products, when they fail means they failed. thus, its evaluates you intelligent in business whether you are good or not.
but school examinations, wooow its a huge topic. sometimes it works but mostly not, it does not mean you are smart if you get high grades, for my opinion its just evaluate whether you are hard working or not.
even though, people said, if it is not important, surely those in 1960s has discussed about this and abolished this examinations. but so far, nothing has changed so it does evaluate our intelligence. In fact, look at famous and successful universities, they have tests to evaluates you whether you are qualified or not.
well my answer was simple, if it is true, so ainshtain, Shakespeare, Dave Thomas, Jim Carrey and many more are not intelligent and not successful. they were just lucky.
