We did a few intelligence tests in our English class. One of them was an IQ test and the other a multiple intelligence test, that tested all kinds of areas of human intelligence. I preferred that one because it gave a lot more detailed description than the basic IQ test. I think there are lots of different kinds of learners and everything depends on how we interpret that knowledge we get.
The quote “You are what you know” is a little narrow and implies that our knowledge is the key factor in us. Though I do think it’s slightly true because we use our knowledge and experiences in our everyday lives, but I think it’s more important to be smart in life than being book smart.
Obviously knowledge and education are important in life but I don’t think it should define us like the quote above implies. All in all I think that being smart in life and knowing what you’re doing is more important than knowing the geography of Europe or something similar to that.
