Multiple intelligences

intelligence

Sharing knowledge of Professor Gardner who had discovered the theory of multiple intelligences or Multiple Intelligences, that there are a lot of intelligence by all people. This theory also emphasizes the importance of “model” or a model that has succeeded in developing one of intelligence to the top.

In the book the concept and meaning of learning (Sagala, 2005: 84) describes eight intelligences are verbal / language, intelligence logic / mathematical, spatial / visual intelligence of the body / kinesthetic, musical intelligence / rhythmic, interpersonal intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence, spiritual intelligence .

Let us discuss one by one intelligence on top. In addition to the explanation form of intelligence, also associated with the lessons taught in school as well as character or profession that has such intelligence.

Verbal intelligence (language)

This form of intelligence dinampakkan by sensitivity to the meaning and word order as well as the ability to make diverse use of language to express and interpret the meaning of the complex.

Related to language lessons. William Shakespeare, Martin Luther King Jr., Soekarno, Putu Wijaya, Taufiq Ismail, Hilman “Lupus” Hariwijaya is a figure who managed to show up to the top of this intelligence, as well as the great journalist, linguist, poet, orator must have this intelligence.

Intelligence Logical / Mathematical

This form of intelligence among the most easily standardized and measured. This intelligence is the analytical mind and sainstifik, and could see it in themselves scientists, computer programmers, accountants, bankers, and of course mathematicians.

Related to math. Tokoh2 among other famous Madame Currie, Blaise Pascal, BJ Habibie.

Spatial Intelligence / Visual

Forms of intelligence are usually skilled at generating mental images and create a graphic representation, they can think of three-dimensional, able to recreate the visual world.

This intelligence can be found on the painter, sculptor, computer programmers, designers, architects.

Associated with drawing lessons. Figures that can be told is related to intelligence, such as Picasso, Walt Disney, Garin Nugroho.

Intelligence Body / Kinesthetic

This intelligence enables the form of the relationship between mind and body necessary to succeed in aktivitas2 such as dancing, doing pantomime, exercise, martial arts and drama plays.

Call it Michael Jordan, Martha Graham (dancer), Susi Susanti. Pejaran intelligence is related to sports or extracurricular activities such as dance, play theater, pantomime.

Intelligence Musical / Rhythmic

This form of intelligence to listen to music and rhythmic patterns are natural and can then produce it. Form of intelligence is very pleasant, because the music has a fatherly capacity to change our consciousness, relieve stress and improve brain function.

Related to extracurricular activities. Tokoh2 who have developed this intelligence such as Stevie Wonder, Mellowdrone, Puspa point.

Interpersonal Intelligence

Form of intelligence is required for such negotiations tugas2 workplace and provide feedback or evaluation. Related to the lesson CIVICS, sociology.

Managers, counselors, therapists, politicians, mediators suggests this form of intelligence. They are usually smart to read the moods, temperaments, motivations and intentions of others. Abraham Lincoln and Mahatma Gadhi use this intelligence to change the world.

Intrapersonal Intelligence

This form of intelligence is the ability to understand and articulate the inner workings of the character and personality. We often call this intelligence with wisdom.

Associated with a major in psychology or philosophy. Tokoh2 success that can be introduced to enrich the intellect is the religious leaders and psychologists.

Spiritual Intelligence

This form of intelligence can be viewed as a combination of awareness and interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence with a component of “value” added to it.

Spiritual intelligence is spiritual intelligence, which leads us into a whole human being, is at the deepest part of ourselves.

With the diversity of human intelligence, making the teacher’s role is very important to provide guidance on what is suitable and appropriate for the students.

How can our children’s optimal growth and development, intelligent and creative seseuai with the child’s development that we expect?

Must be satisfied 3 (three) basic needs, namely:
– Physical-Biological Needs
– Valentines
– Early Stimulation since in the womb

A. What are the physical needs – biological child? Development of children under five
Nutrsi (breastfeeding, complementary feeding), immunization, hygiene and environmental agency shelter, medication, moving and playing. This factor is important for physical growth.

2. What needs ASIH (LOVE LOVE) to
our children?
Feel safe and comfortable, cared for and appreciated, heard the desire or opinion, do not put the punishment with anger, but give more examples with great affection and joy. Affection of the effects on self-reliance and emotional intelligence.

3. What kebuluhan Hone (stimulation PLAY SINCE EARLY) WE unluk child?
Games that stimulate all the senses (hearing, sight, touch, smell, taste), stimulate the movement of crude and refined, communication, social-emotional independence, and creative thinking. Stimulation of early poems will play a big influence on a variety of children’s intelligence (multiple intelligence).

Above requirement is expected to be known and understood by the parents for mecapai optimal child development. This of course does not rule out the physical health of children.

(Picture is an old NASA shot of a nebula)

Think of all the pictures and descriptions you have seen or read about The Universe. Recall all those starry skies you’ve seen. It really is a wonder. All those galaxies and nebulae: stars growing in clouds of gas, eventually fading or exploding as super novae, to later form new stars. Solar systems forming then dying, generation after generation.

Put aside all your religious beliefs. Just look in child-like awe at that vast expanse of space. It would take one of our current rockets about 80,000 years or so to reach the nearest star to our Sun (Proxima Centauri).

Yet there is one thing that is the crowning glory of this great Universe: Life! Better still, life that is intelligent and sentient. Life that has a brain. Individual beings that are self-aware, empathic, able to think, compose music and who knows what else.

I have often wondered: what is The Purpose of our existence? When I was about eighteen I decided that “Survival” was the first priority. That’s fine as a starter. You have to breathe, drink, eat and be sheltered before you can do anything else. Yet surely we don’t exist just for the sake of existing.

Recently I read that there are some sea creatures which are, biologically speaking, immortal! That’s good, but what do they do with their lives? Something for another blog perhaps.

There has to be a “Higher Purpose” to all this. The best I can say is that Evolution has taken us in a certain direction. In short, Evolution has produced bigger and better brains. Life as we know it is still a work in progress. All we can say is that, collectively, we are aiming for higher intelligence, talent and general mental prowess.

Perhaps in the fullness of time we will produce people who possess telepathy, telekinesis and other mental super-powers. Eventually there may be folk who can make almost anything happen just by thinking things into being.

Who knows what mental powers might evolve in the future? For now, however, all we can do is cherish and encourage all forms of intellect and talent. Our collective “Purpose” is simply to improve things and help people to improve.

Let’s not forget: this also means educating people to be compassionate and loving. A high IQ is little use to someone without good Ethics and Morals. Anyway, IQ is a rather limited measure of intelligence: let’s not restrict ourselves to just that.

Progressive Improvement should be our aim: in the broadest possible spectrum of “human” intellect and emotional development. That is “The Purpose”. I rest my case.

Oh, and before I go: this whole philosophy I call “Lifism”. Sort of “Humanitarianism” Plus. Of course, most good religions contain plenty of Lifism. Yet I would like to think the above is the essence of this philosophy, with no strings attached.

Paul Butters

1) Find out what talent your good at and what you like to do (if you not sure go here* sign-up and go to career planing then learn about yourself and take the interest profile**).

2) Once you know what you are good at go here and look through the colleges and try to match what it is that you are good at or what you feel that you should do.

3) Once you have a nice group of colleges you can either choose to apply for all or them or***

4) Go here* so check for tuition and average costs

5) Then apply for as many as you can I would recommend that you apply to the ones with the shortest deadline so that way you don’t have to worry about those and will have plenty of time for the others

Good luck with the college search

As humans, we definitely are not the fastest or the strongest animal. We are not the biggest or the smallest. We are not the best in any physical category. Even our senses are outmatched by many creatures. Birds see better than us, dogs smell better, and many animals have senses that we do not have at all. Sharks feel magnetic fields, turtles sense electricity, and bees see ultra-violet radiation. Elephants can sense a lack of salt in their bodies in much the same way that we feel thirsty. The humble tortoise can outlive us by a hundred years or more. Basic medicine is used by woolly spider monkeys who eat certain plants for birth control and parrots who eat specific clays to cure poison. So what makes us special? Not our DNA. Our DNA is unique, but then again so is the DNA of every other animal. It must be something in our minds, some ability that we have that other animals lack. Here we look at ten human attributes of which we are rightly proud, and briefly consider which animals share our abilities. Perhaps what makes us special is not any single factor, but the combination of all of these. Or perhaps it is our potential rather than what we already are.

10. Culture

Culture encompasses all behaviours and activities which are not genetically driven and which are found throughout a local population. The arts and humanities, religions, shared attitudes and practices are all facets of culture. The wonderfully wide variety of human cultures around the world is of great interest in itself; however, not all culture is human. For an activity to be deemed cultural, it must not be directly caused by genetics, it must be passed from one individual to another throughout a population, it must be remembered and not forgotten instantly after it has occurred, and it must be passed down through generations. Many primates have their own cultures and traditions, such as the rain dances some chimpanzee groups perform at the beginning of storms. In 1963, one female Japanese macaque monkey discovered the comfort of bathing in a natural hot spring, and since then the practice has spread completely throughout the troop and is still observed today.

9. Emotions

Humans experience a wide spectrum of emotions. From anger to grief to frustration to euphoria, we live our lives moving from one emotion to the next. Anyone who has kept a large pet, such as a dog or a cat, will be aware that these creatures experience fear, desire, panic, affection, embarrassment, and many other feelings. Dolphin mothers whose infants have died display all the trappings of grief, and bored octopuses will eventually begin to exhibit depression. Curiosity can be seen in reptiles and jealousy of parental attention between siblings is seen in great apes. Wild apes will adopt other orphaned apes, and captive apes will take pets for interest. Altruism has been shown by gorillas in two unrelated situations where, both times, a young child fell into their zoo enclosure. Each time, a gorilla patted and soothed the child and helped return him to the human zoo keepers. Chimpanzees similarly comfort each other after attacks. Emotions are far from an exclusively human experience.

8. Language

Language is used to communicate needs, wants, and ideas. Different groups have developed their own languages, and languages change and evolve over time. Humans use a wide range of languages, not all verbal. The Bubi people in Equatorial Guinea speak largely with hand gestures, similar to Sign Languages spoken by deaf communities. On La Gomera of the Canary Islands, whistled language is used. Certain animals use language too. Primates, whales, birds, and squid have been shown to use distinct words to identify objects, actions, and individual names, and chimpanzees even use syntax and grammar. As a case study, Washoe the chimpanzee was raised as a deaf human child. She learnt over 300 American Sign Language words and could combine them to form new words and sentences. In the wild, chimpanzees normally only use about 70 words. Washoe often signed conversations with her toy dolls. One touching example, showing that she could associate abstract ideas like emotion to novel situations, was when her human instructor explained a long absence by signing “my baby died”. Washoe looked down for a while, then signed “cry” and touched her cheek.

7. Humour

Humour is a staple of life for many people. Often difficult to define, there are many strains of humour, providing amusement and often resulting in laughter. The ridiculous, the unexpected, or the juxtaposed can elicit such a feeling. Chimpanzees, like humans, are no stranger to laughter. They often tickle each other and give unmistakable laughs as a result. However, although humour often provokes laughter, laughter does not imply humour. Even rats have been shown to be able to laugh. Nevertheless, chimpanzees too can find situations humorous. Several great apes in captivity have been observed to laugh at situations removed from themselves such as seeing a clumsy fellow ape embarrass itself. One illustrative example of how similar humour is between humans and chimpanzees is when a chimpanzee who was taught sign language was shown a chocolate bar. His first trainer said that it was his, and that the chimpanzee was not allowed to eat it. The chimpanzee said okay. When the first trainer left, the second trainer arrived, and said they were going to play a trick. He hid the chocolare inside a box and told the chimpanzee not to tell the first trainer. When the first trainer returned, the chimpanzee was giggling. The trainer said, “where is my chocolate?” and the chimpanzee burst out laughing, rolling around and screaming. The more the trainer asked the question, the more the chimpanzee laughed. Eventually the chimpanzee showed him where the chocolate was, but only after he had calmed down!

6. Tool Use

One of the defining characteristics of humans is the ability to use tools. We have created great cities, refined farming, secured the passing on of cultural knowledge through writing, and even gone to the moon. For many years, humans were defined as the only tool-using animal. We now know this is not the case. All great apes, crows and ravens, dolphins, elephants, and even octopuses are verified tool users. Often this tool use is cultural, that is, the tools used and their manner of use will vary from one population to the next within a species. Chimpanzees use stones as hammers and anvils and fashion spears for hunting, gorillas will use walking sticks, ravens make their own toys, gulls will use bait to fish with, dolphins use shells to catch fish in and eat from, octopuses will use coconut shells as a shelter, and elephants make water vessels to drink from.

5. Memory

Humans are able to mentally capture their sensory information at a particular time and store it away for later use. That is, humans can remember things. We use memories to determine the best course of action in situations we have encountered before, such as remembering which foods taste nicest and thus picking the best one when given a choice. Animals, too, have memories, as any pet owner will tell you. Domesticated creatures can be taught to remember commands, and even goldfish have been shown to have memories lasting months. Chimpanzees remember images and numbers better than university students, and crows remember shapes better than adult humans also. Some jays and squirrels have superb spatial memories, allowing them to remember months later where they buried thousands of seeds across areas of dozens of square kilometres. Cats have short-term memories at least ten times longer than those of humans. Interestingly, pigeons seem to base superstitions on their memories. If a pigeon is doing something like turning around when it is given food two or three times, it will remember what it was doing and begin to spin obsessively in the hopes of obtaining more food.

4. Self-Awareness

A jellyfish, most will agree, is not strongly aware of itself as a definitively separate being. It has no thoughts, if any, beyond its basic drives. Self-awareness was considered a human domain for many years, but we now know better. One simple illustrative test is the mirror test: seeing if an animal can recognise itself in a mirror. A self-aware animal will realise that the movements of its reflection match its own, and deduce that the reflection is an image of itself. The animal often has a mark on its face, and if it realises that the reflection is it itself, it will reach towards its face to feel or remove the mark. Human children do not pass this test until the age of 18 months. Animals which pass this self-awareness test, and a variety of other such tests, are all great apes, some gibbons, elephants, magpies, and some whales.

3. Intelligence

Humans are homo sapiens, the wise man. We can think and reason to our great advantage. There are, of course, many different kinds of intelligence and ways of using them. There exist many definitions of intelligence, but generally it is thought to be the ability to think, reason, plan, assess, and learn. However, humans are not the only animals with intellect, nor are they the best in all its categories. Pigeons easily outdo humans with both visual searching and geometric recognition. Ants estimate huge numbers very accurately to determine the numbers of enemy ants from past encounters, and elephants use arithmetic. Crows show great causal reasoning; they can observe a new and complicated mechanism and mentally deduce how to deal with it correctly rather than relying on the more time-consuming trial and error. They can unlock doors and find hidden objects based on a single period of observation, outperforming many humans.

2. Farming

Farming is the basis of modern human civilisation. Believed to have been begun nearly ten thousand years ago, it allowed humans to settle in one place rather than live nomadically as they followed herds of animals for food. This in turn allowed them more time in which they could develop writing, mathematics, the wheel, farming implements, and other necessities of farming on a large scale. This spread around the world rapidly. However, ants had already been farming for millions of years. They capture, herd, raise, and care for the health of groups of caterpillars kept in a special chamber of their nests so that they may use their sugary excretions as a food source, much like we use cows. Termites cultivate fungi to eat which are so specialised they grow nowhere else on Earth.

1. Buildings

If nothing else, humans are fantastic builders. The cities, roads, and factories that adorn our planet are a testament to that fact. What other animal could build skyscrapers, towering hundreds of metres above them? Or highways and roads stretching for thousands of kilometres? Some animals build too. Certain birds and apes build sophisticated nests, rabbits dig warrens to live in, and ants will even prune and cultivate trees to grow in a way which suits them as a home. The greatest builders, however, are Nigerian termites. They build fantastically huge mounds with internal ventilation, heating, and cooling systems through specially designed tunnels so that the termites living inside enjoy a pleasant climate at all times. They even have self-contained nurseries, gardens, cellars, chimneys, expressways, and sanitation systems. A termite is less than half a centimetre long yet its mound is 4m tall. For comparison, that is like a group of humans making a building over 1.5km tall.

So what makes us special…?

0: Abstract and logical thinking

To clarify, abstract thinking is not random and incoherent thought. It means taking a concrete idea, such as an apple, and thinking about an attribute of it as a higher concept such as deliciousness, which might then be applied to many concrete objects. Logical thinking is the cornerstone of this. This is, naturally, difficult to measure in non-humans, but thus far no animal has been able to perform nearly as well as humans in purely abstract terms. Logical and reasoned thinking with abstract ideas are the great achievement of humanity, as we far surpass other animals thanks to the frontal lobes of our brains, which relative to the rest of our brains are the largest of any living species. Perhaps what truly makes us human is our ability to think rationally, to question our own assertions and consider others, and to always strive for what is reasoned and logical and true, no matter what that truth may be.

When you say “um”, without realising it, people’s opinion of your intelligence shrinks slightly.

The theory behind this is that, according to popular opinion, smarter people think more. Therefore, a smart person is more likely to consider something before speaking. He or she will only speak when he or she has a reason to and has thought it out. It doesn’t require much thought – only a second or two – but that is the impression people have. Those who speak a lot and say “um” constantly are seen as speaking out of habit and not really thinking about what they are saying.

It might seem good to answer questions right away when they are asked, but studies show that people think more highly of you if you pause for a second or two before answering, even if your answer is exactly the same.

Pause more. Think before you speak, and avoid saying “um”. Even if you change nothing else, you will immediately appear smarter.

Indeed, in the definition of the theory of multiple intelligences are separate from the traditional points of view. In the traditional view, intelligence is operationally defined as the ability to respond to various types of intelligence tests.

The conclusion of the test in some capacity beyond that supported by a statistical technique that compares the responses subjects at different ages; a clear correlation of the value of cross-age and cross tesini different tests confirmed the notion that the general talent of intelligence did not change much with age or with training or pengalaman.Ini is inborn trait or individual talents.

Theory of Multiple Intelligences

The theory of multiple intelligences otherwise make the traditional concept. Intelligence involves the ability to solve the problem or the product is a consequence modeyang dalamsuasana particular culture or society. Problem-solving skills make a person close to the situation that the target should be achieved and find the right route towards that goal. Creation of cultural products is very important for functions such as catch and pass the knowledge or express one’s views or feelings. Problems to be solved range from creating a story until the end of the anticipated movement in the deadly chess to improve the blanket. Products range from scientific theory to musical compositions to successful political campaign.

Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI) is framed in the biological origins of each problem-solving skills. Only the skills that are universal to the human species to be treated. Nevertheless, the biological propensity to participate in problem solving was certainly should also be combined with a culture that nurtures the field of activity. For example, language, universal skill, it may manifest itself primarily as a text in one culture, as an orator in other cultures, and as a secret anagram language (exchange of letters in the word to form another word) in the third culture.

Given the desire to choose intelligence rooted in biology, and are valued in one or more of the cultural atmosphere, how does one actually recognize the “intelligence”? In compiling our list, we consider the evidence from several different sources: the knowledge of normal growth and development of talented individuals, information regarding the breakdown of cognitive skills with a damaged brain condition; research on exceptional populations, including those outstanding, the very smart in certain areas but could barely understand the other fields (idiotsavant), children with autism; data on the evolution of the learning process in a few millennia; consideration of cross-cultural learning process; psychometric research, including examination of the correlation in antarates; and research training psychological, especially measuring cross eralisasi dangen transfer tasks.

Only candidates who satisfy the intelligence of all or most of the criteria selected as the intelligence that can be trusted. A more complete discussion of each of these criteria for an “intelligence” and the seven intelligences proposed sejauhini, can be read in Frames of Mind (1983) Howard Gardner’s essay.

What is the Potential?

Potential means the ability or power, which is physically and psychologically. But it is still a potential power base (”base capital”) that must be manifested and proved in practice. If not, then the potential would be buried.

Potential is all the strength, strengths, skills possessed by someone, either inborn (genetic) or acquired from experience and learning (education).

Well, what are your potential? Is not every man is given a certain number of strengths and advantages!?

Just as you might imagine, there are many elements of the potential and variety.

Physical potential, for example, consist of: physical condition, size / shape and physical appearance, sensory quality (power saw, heard, etc.); endurance, fitness, fitness, flexibility, agility, strength (motion / work), balance, and health (dental, eye, respiratory, digestion, joints, etc.).

Non-physical potential, among others: intelligence (intelligence, aptitude, interests, hobbies, characteristics / personality traits, emotional stability, motivation, attitude, creativity, responsiveness, and another – another.

Today is also under review, about the potential for emotional intelligence (emotional qoutient), intelligence (ability) to overcome difficulties – difficulties (quotient adversity) and the potential of faith or spiritual intelligence (spiritual quotient).

Sometimes we are concerned, see the wilting and death of flower buds that have not had time to bloom. Because the owner neglected to pour fresh water.

Thus the bud – the bud the potential for us. He needs a splash of water development. He takes effort and hard work. He needs patience and endurance. the Lord of that potential?

Trace a moment kind of – kind of potential and strength!

a. Intellectual Potential

Intellectual abilities are intelligence or intelligence. Unit size is Intelligence Quotient (IQ). Intelligence is the overall ability of individuals to think and act as directed, as well as processing and mastering the environment effectively

To find out intelligence can be done in a way that is quick to observe the learning day – the day (the daily tests until the report card), or carefully through a psychological examination by intelligence tests.

b. Social Intelligence

The high degree of rational intelligence (brain) has not proven to guarantee the triumphant achievements of someone in a day – the day when the study / socialize and interact socially in practice. For that, there is an attempt to identify other types of intelligence.

To try found that other types of intelligence, social intelligence and named. This social intelligence, consisting of social sensitivity, good communication, empathy, understanding / comprehension of others

c. Emotional Intelligence (Emotional Quotient)

Emotional intelligence is the intelligence of an individual’s sense of the world.

One expert defines emotional intelligence as an individual’s ability to recognize emotions (feelings) of yourself and other people’s emotions, motivating oneself, and managing emotions well in ourselves and in conjunction with others

It could happen that someone intelligent (brain) but can be so irrational (being “stupid”). Why? Quotient academic (IQ) little to do with emotional life. Can be any one of the most intelligent among us, fell into an uncontrollable lust and explode – explode!

Emotional intelligence is the ability to motivate themselves, endure frustration, conducting impulses, do not exaggerate – exaggerated joy, set the mood, and keep the load stress (mental pressure) did not cripple the ability to think, have empathy and a lot of praying.

Emotional Intelligence

• Able to motivate yourself

• Durability face frustration

• Controlling the impulse

• Not much for pleasure

• Set the mood

• The burden of stress does not paralyze the intellect

• Have empathy

• Many prayed

Discourse that strikes us is how the role of emotional intelligence is very dominant in pursuing one’s success!

To the success of an individual, rational intelligence (IQ) only played 20% only, whereas emotional intelligence has a share of 80%. Really?

d. Emotional Intelligence (Emotional Quotient)

The basis of one’s talents is the ability to learn / work within a relatively short compared to others, but the results are even better.

Aptitude (aptitude) is also significant potential to be realized in the future. That is just a talent show that there are opportunities, the chance of success then no wonder there is a hidden talent terms.

In other words, the talent must be done externally, embodied, and developed. If not,  chances of success. To develop the potential talent to drive all aspects of

e. Spiritual Intelligence

A mind to do with the binding of a substance that is the Lord Most High.

Spiritual intelligence is one’s inner sense to see and feel the difference between a good and evil, an ability to vote and side with the good and felt the joy of someone who has high spiritual intelligence will not be easy quickly despair, never give up, his life will be filled with hope and peace of mind. He realized that he belonged to God Almighty and God is the source of goodness.

With a sense of binding of the Lord he would surrender himself, he realized that the man should always try but it is God who decides everything.

f. Interest (Interest)

Interest and excitement is high tendency or inclination towards something great.

People who are interested in one thing will pay attention, look for it, set yourself up, trying to achieve / gain something.

Interest can be raised “power”, power, boost the lead to the optimization of the ascent of the specified object. With interest, a person can face a tough thing to be light, which will be felt much closer, a difficult subject seem easy.

By making a (simple) test people might find out how intelligent they are, therefore I set up a little test to do; it requires you think logically, without using your “auto-pilot brain”. The goal of this test is to make you see things from another perspective, and see how smart you really are, I called this test my “Calculus Test”; even if you are bad at math, you can still solve the equation (or at least part of it).

The rules are simple, you may use any source you can get; except the answers. Also you require keeping track of the following things:

- How long does it take for you to see how to solve this

- How long did it take for you to solve each part

- How long it take you to solve the equation

A score table can be found under the equation.

Tip: use a pencil and a sheet of paper.

In order to solve the questions, you may require using the following information

A+B=C

C-B=A

C-A=B

C+B=E

A+A=B

B+B=D

–

The follow equations you know:

9823=EB

2231=D

5622=E

9919=D

8778=EE

7677=E

0011=EA

0022=EA

0044556872214=EECC+3x

Now it is your job to answer the following:

Solve 1,2,3,5,6,7,8 and 9

Solve x

Now, using the following equation:

(3x+D-9)/(8-7+0+2x+4-6) = α

Solve α

–

Do not scroll down if you haven’t finished yet.

Score Table:

0=B                    Wrong? Add 4

1=A                    Wrong? Add 4

2=A                    Wrong? Add 4

3=A                    Wrong? Add 4

5=A                    Wrong? Add 4

4=x                     Wrong? Add 4

6=B                    Wrong? Add 4

7=A                    Wrong? Add 4

8=D                    Wrong? Add 4

9=A                    Wrong? Add 4

x=4                    Wrong? Add 2

(3x+D-9)/(8-7+0+2x+4-6) = 1         Wrong? Add 1

Now a global view:

I hope you enjoyed the test, and that you know what you did wrong. I would like to congratulate everyone that got a perfect score of 3, for those who say “wasn’t it 4?” You’re right, but now you can take of your perfect score by taking off 1 point (if you had 4, not if you had more).

Please help support us if you like us, by sharing it with your friends.

Like most other parents, I also aspire to raise my kids to be kids who have what my husband and I termed & 2S 4C: Saleh, Healthy, Intelligent, and cute. And since it contains, I was completing my reading of books relating to parenting issues.

When Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence: Why EI is more important than IQ rises, I was reading it. Research from many neuroscientists and psychologists to suggest that emotional intelligence (EQ), is just as important-perhaps even more important than, the intelligence quotient (IQ), provide new insight for me in caring for children.

In Goleman’s book can be said that in order to overcome the various challenges of life, which is the key to success in the future, need to be equipped children’s emotional and social skills, an ability to recognize, treat and control the emotions that children are able to respond positively to any conditions stimulate the emergence of these emotions. Said to be emotionally intelligent child when he has a good ability in this regard. Even in the book said that the intelligence quotient (IQ) only accounts for 20% of a person’s success can be achieved. Therefore, it was found that smart kids was a failure in academics, career, social life as well. In contrast, many of which are successful in the future, it actually has an average intelligence level only.

Given all the emotional experiences in childhood and adolescence emotional circuits involved membetuk determining our emotional intelligence in adulthood, the emotional intelligence skills must be developed and to the attention of parents, as well as the attention given to the stages of physical development and intellectual abilities of children.

We as parents, generally, gave great attention to the child’s physical development and skills in speaking and motor skills. I, for example, can remember how I was so meticulous notes (even create photo documentation) in weight and height my child, since his birth. Also, at what age my child’s teeth begin to grow, for example. I also record my child’s motor skill development. For example, when the child begins to crawl, stand, and walk.
