I.Q. stands for intelligence quotient. Studies have found it is a predictor of academic achievement (no explanation needed), occupational attainment (children with higher IQs tend to go into more pretiegous occupations), and psychological adjustment (tend to be better liked by agemates). They start testing babies as early as 1 month to make sure they are developing cognitively. If you want to know how they do that you can ask. I've got the details for my final I need to take tonight.
I'm just full of fun statistics about intelligence. So here is the one questions I have, does that make me intelligent?
In other news it is finals week. They are going very well but I should probably wait until I'm closer to being done to brag about them. Wouldn't want karma to show up right here at the end.
I'm breaking my blog pattern but here is a quote from the LDS Prophet Thomas S. Monson for finals.
“Study and prepare for your life’s work in a field that you enjoy, because you are going to spend a good share of your life in that field. . . .
Have discipline in your preparations. Have checkpoints where you can determine if you’re on course.
I hope that you are not afraid of tough classes. I never did have a ‘cinch’ class. I hope that you are not afraid of lengthy periods of preparation. Burn the midnight oil. Don’t procrastinate like my older sister, who after a late date rationalized, ‘I have a test tomorrow, but I am weary. What is more important, my health or my test? Aha, my health! I need my sleep.’ So she slept. I won’t say what happened to the test.
You simply have to apply yourself. I hope that you want to be so well equipped that you can compete in this competitive world. I hope that you will learn to take responsibility for your decisions, whether they be in your courses of study which you elect to take, or whether they be in the direction of the academic attainments which you strive to achieve.
Should you become discouraged or feel burdened down, remember that others have passed this same way; they have endured and then have achieved. When we have done all that we are able to do, we can then rely on God’s promised help.”
