Intelligence quotient (iQ)
An online analysis I did not too long ago said THIS;
You scored as Theater.
You should be a Theater major! Like a bohemian actress, you
are seasoned and confident and not afraid to express yourself!
92% Theater, Philosophy, Linguistics (bullsh—it…)
83% Psychology, English (is my english that bad?… :-0)
75% Biology, Journalism, Sociology, Engineering, Chemistry
(hmm…geeky, wait I am doing that shit..OH NO!)
67% Anthropology, Art (what an idea!..<<in deep thought>>)
58% Mathematics (what’s 1+1; surely not 11!)
50% Dance (Are you kidding?, I love dancing! and I love music -_-)
It’s either I’m in denial or its a whole lot of crap…I can’t imagine myself in THEATER. Whoa! that’s too much ey. I mean I have nothing against it, really I think it’s really cool to have a career in that path, but ME..hell no! I love city life…I love tv, I love sleeping, I love computers..ok so you get the gist. How could I possibly be in theater? Hmm…oh well, I did ponder over it and I think I like what I’m studying. However,I do love Psychology & Philosophy, I actually wanted to take up Psychology as my career path, I have no idea what made me change my mind. I guess when you are young, you do make a few wrong choices before you truly know what you want to be in life. I can still remember in primary school, when we had to fill up the column ‘cita-cita’ or in english; ambition…all of us use to write things like ‘doktor’, ‘jurutera’, ‘peguam’ and many more. The question is did we really want to be all that?? Was it our parents ambition for us?? or were we just copying our friends answers. Either way we all grew out of it..and some of us may still be looking for the perfect profession…but truly, there isnt. It really boils down to what you truly want to be…for the rest of your life or until you reach mid-life crisis and realize you got it all wrong!. I’m currently reading the book ‘The Street Lawyer by John Grisham’ and it’s amazing how Michael Brock, a lawyer who has a posh office in a top lawyer firm- partner in the making leave all of that to become a street lawyer. His new salary is 10% per annum of what he previously earned per annum, so why the change? Very interesting book, you should read it. And so,I realize its very important to truly strive for what you believe in even if the world laughs at you, the most important thing is that your happy and love what you do.
I also decided to look up on IQ and read up on how does it affect a persons ability. Here’s what I got and came up with.
"The term IQ, or Intelligence Quotient,
What is this cognitive ability being measured? Simply put, IQ tests are Questions in each of these categories test for a specific
Because IQ tests measure your ability to understand ideas and not the But can you increase your IQ score? There is some evidence that
So your IQ score is relatively stable, no matter what education you acquire. This does not mean that you can’t increase your intelligence.
generally describes a score on a test that rates the subject’s
cognitive ability as compared to the general population. IQ tests use a
standardized scale with 100 as the median score. On most tests, a score
between 90 and 110, or the median plus or minus 10, indicates average
intelligence. A score above 130 indicates exceptional intelligence and
a score below 70 may indicate mental retardation. Like their
predecessors, modern tests do take in to account the age of a child
when determining an IQ score. Children are graded relative to the
population at their developmental level.
designed to measure your general ability to solve problems and
understand concepts. This includes reasoning ability, problem-solving
ability, ability to perceive relationships between things and ability
to store and retrieve information. IQ tests measure this general
intellectual ability in a number of different ways. They may test:
cognitive ability, but many psychologists hold that they also indicate
general intellectual ability. Most people perform better on one type of
question than on others, but experts have determined that for the most
part people who excel in one category do similarly well in the other
categories, and if someone does poorly in any one category, he also
does poorly in the others. Based on this, these experts theorize there
is one general element of intellectual ability that determines other
specific cognitive abilities. Ideally, an IQ test measures this general
factor of intelligence, abbreviated as g. The best tests, therefore,
feature questions from many categories of intellectual ability so that
the test isn’t weighted toward one specific skill.
quantity of your knowledge, learning new information does not
automatically increase your IQ. Learning may exercise your mind,
however, which could help you to develop greater cognitive skills, but
scientists do not fully understand this relationship. The connection
between learning and mental ability is still largely unknown, as are
the workings of the brain and the nature of intellectual ability.
Intellectual ability does seem to depend more on genetic factors than
on environmental factors, but most experts agree that environment plays
some significant role in its development.
children develop higher intellectual ability if they receive better
nurturing and diet as babies, and a higher degree of intellectual
stimulation in preschool tends to boost children’s IQ scores for a few
years of elementary school but does not permanently increase IQ scores.
For the most part, adult IQ scores don’t significantly increase over
time. There is evidence that maintaining an intellectually stimulating
atmosphere (by learning new skills or solving puzzles, for example)
boosts some cognitive ability, similar to the way maintaining an
exercise regimen boosts physical ability, but these changes aren’t
permanent and do not have much effect on IQ scores.
IQ tests are only one imperfect method of measuring certain aspects of
intellectual ability. A lot of critics point out that IQ tests don’t
measure creativity, social skills, wisdom, acquired abilities or a host
of other things we consider to be aspects of intelligence. The value of
IQ tests is that they measure general cognitive ability, which has been
proven to be a fairly accurate indicator of intellectual potential.
There is a high positive correlation between IQ and success in school
and the work place, but there are many, many cases where IQ and success
do not coincide."

about the ambitions, I guess those seemed noble at that age like policeman, fireman..doctor etc. But when we got bigger..we realised we’re not smart enough to be all doctors or engineers..and being a cop or a fireman isn’t all that noble.
So maybe parents didnt set it…unless you’re ‘Bayi’ where the standard expectations are CLEAR - Doctor, lawyer, engineer otherwise you’re a failure
