I recently took a multiple intelligence test, as I did last year as part of my english/literature education.
I was really surprised when the tests results came out significantly different from that of last year's.
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!
(difference in shape not counted)
As you can see by the first diagram, my main strengths are Math-logical and intrapersonal.
HOWEVER, look at the second picture
Look at this second one. It says that I am better at being intrapersonal and interpersonal.
As you can see from both diagrams, both say that I am good at being intrapersonal.
However, the other values greatly differ.
But because the newer one is probably more accurate, I am going to use it for the task.
Intrapersonal c.
Tom Robinson's diary:
*on the day before the trial*
Oh dear, what am I to do? I know I am innocent, but what use would that be? The whites all think that just because I am a coloured person, it means that I am definitely guilty. Why does Mayella do this to me? I just wanted to help her and sympathised with her. So many unanswered questions. I just hope Mr. Finch knows what he is doing.
Interpersonal.
Me: What are your views on Prejudice and discrimination as a whole?
Anonymous: I think that the world in itslef is unfair. Take newborn children as an example. Every child is born different. For example, some are born into richer families, some into poorer ones. As such, it is difficult to have equality. As a result, groups of people who fear people who are different or better than them will most likely discriminate against them to suppress their fears or to make themselves superior over the others.
Me: Use Singapore as an example. We have a racially equal society with FOUR different races and religions living together as one big family. Do you think there is a way to let other countries or societies do the same?
Anonymous: It will be difficult for other countries as some have a long running history of racial discrimination. Therefore, it will be difficult for them to coexist with each other(people of different races). Singapore is an exception as the government has started the idea of racial equality since the beginning. Singapore has also had its share of racial problems. However, other countries have also improved their relationships between differing races. Take America as an example. During the era after the Civil rights war, the blacks and whites were segregated and were treated very differently. But, look at America now. Most of the whites in America have cast aside their differences with the blacks and have even elected a black president.
Me: Discrimination and Prejudice-- which do you think is the more important factor??
Anonymous: Prejudice. As prejudice leads to discrimination, people who are discriminated against naturally have a less conducive environment to live in. For example, blacks have been discriminated against durinng the time bewteen the civil rights war and the civil rights movement. Blacks received a less adequate learning environment, some were not even educated, leading some blacks at the time to do things that were "inadequate". This leads to whites having the impression that blacks were of a lower class than them and look down on them. Thus, they were given a less conducive environment, and less education, leading to a vicious cyle. However, people will eventually realise that not all blacks are bad and their mindset will change.
Me: That's it. Thank you for your time in this interview.
Anonymous: You are welcome.
