...Intelligence and Marijuana Use Intelligent quotient (IQ) tests are used to tell the level of intelligence of the person by asking mathematical and logic questions (Kowalczyk, 2015). There are different intelligence quotients for different age groups which are comparable throughout the different stages of cognitive maturity. A person within one standard deviation of IQ for their age group is considered to have an average IQ score. Heavy marijuana users experienced a loss of IQ points where lighter marijuana users and non-users gained points in a study done comparing users who smoke more than 5 joints per week compared to rare and non-users (Fried, Watkinson, James and Gray, 2002). Marijuana users generally have lower IQ scores compared to age and sex matched non-users of marijuana, because even though more neural connections and dendritic branching is created in the brain during intoxication, usually marijuana's sedentary effects on the user can cause a similar...

...Gardener Intelligence Paper Tiffany Ferrell PSY 300 February 13, 2012 Mary Newhams The world in which we live in is made up off all different kinds of people. In a normal society, we do not always call someone intelligent because they can dance or sing. However, according to Gardner, there are eight different intelligences, and one being a musically inclined person. The theory of multiple intelligences identifies eight intelligences: musical, bodily/kinesthetic, spatial, linguistic or verbal, logical/mathematical naturalistic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). Being that the theory states that one can be intelligent in any of the eight or more, this can interfere with how one performs on their jobs. Not all of these intelligences can hinder someone in the business world, but one should be pretty savvy in a few of them. According to Gardner and our reading, someone can be musically talented but not have interpersonal skills. This would hinder an entertainer because of his inability to relate in the entertainment world. The three intelligences which are most important in a business world are the following: interpersonal (social skills), linguistic or verbal, and intrapersonal (self-understanding). If someone is not intelligent in these three, in my opinion could terribly hinder their personal success or career. Linguistic or Verbal In a business environment, one needs to have a high level of linguistic intelligence. The linguistic...

...Individual Gardner Intelligence Paper When defining intelligence there are three different approaches that have been discovered, such as the psychometric approach, the information-processing approach, and the theory of multiple intelligences. (Kowalski & Weston, 2011) Howard Gardner developed his on theory of multiple intelligences. His unique theory looked at each person as being intelligent in their own way. His theory was developed on the question “how are you smart?” verses the standard question “how smart are you?” In his research Gardner discovered that there were actually multiple intelligences, he gives a list of eight different intelligences that he considers to make an individual intelligent. The eight different intelligences include linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, naturalist, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. “Gardner’s theory suggests that intelligence lies on not one but eight curves, one for each type of intelligence” (Kowalski & Weston, 2011). There are three major intelligence that I feel have impacted my personal life the first would be Bodily-Kinesthetic, Intrapersonal, and Intrapersonal. Bodily-Kinesthetic When I began this journey of discovering my own intelligence I learned a great deal about myself. I found that I am 95 percent bodily kinesthetic. I was finally able to put a name to how I learn and it described my personality exactly. I struggled in school which was embarrassing but I knew the problem was that...

...Artificial Intelligence Christianie Dor INF103 LaWanda Morant 8/26/2014 Like with most phenomena, our imaginations are far more advanced than our current reality. This is especially true in the case of technology and more specifically artificial intelligence. If the scientific movies were any indication of reality humans should be fearful of any technological advancement in the field of artificial intelligence because it surely means some type of machine uprising. An uprising in which the creator must fear the created. Such an uprising is something that we don’t have to fear for quite some time because unlike how artificial intelligence is portrayed in the movies, science has not gotten that advanced. As research and time has went on in the artificial science field the conclusion that “superhuman artificial intelligence is far from the current state of the art and probably beyond the range of projection for even the most optimistic AI researcher” has been made (Hendler, 1995). It will take many lifetimes to get artificial intelligence to the levels we see it on the silver screens. Technology, knowledge, and implementing the information we know into actual programs is something that will take more time and different approaches. In order for someone to understand the concept of artificial intelligence they must first have an understanding of what intelligence actually is. The subject of intelligence has fascinated researchers and philosophers for years. Humans...

...Gardner Intelligence Paper Name PSY/300 June 11, 2012 Instructor Gardner Intelligence Paper Introduction Intelligence is a concept that many people have trouble defining. When asked what intelligence is, people may state that it is how well someone solves problems or how knowledgeable they are about the world around them (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). Until recently intelligence was looked upon as a general attribute or an IQ. People with a high IQ were said to be intelligent in everything. Accordingly, intelligence was seen as a general ability (Ghraibeh, 2012). In 1983, however, Howard Gardner proposed a new thoery. Gardner asserted that intelligence has multiple domains which were independent of each other. He further stated that intelligence in one area did not necessarily translate into intelligence in other domains. For example, a student who is talented in art does not automatically show a high level of competence in music (Ghraibeh, 2012). Originally Gardner identified seven multiple intelligences which he believed people used to approach problem solving. These include linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. In his theory linguistic intelligence deals with words and language. Logical-mathematical intelligence is associated with logic and numbers. Musical intelligence is connected to music, sound, and rhythm. Body movement control was linked to bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Images...

...Intelligence Article Analysis Paper PSY 450 November 4, 2013 Intelligence Article Analysis Paper Intelligence Testing and Theories Intelligence measuring is important for individuals for various reasons. Testing intelligence throughout the years has changed. People change and not the same factors can determine one’s intelligence. The majority of individuals who take intelligence testing are for placement, such as children starting school, college, and employment. Children for example, take testing, and evaluations to see what cognitive development level the child is at and to see if that child meets the basic standard for that age group (Benson, 2003). Intelligence testing determines the level for college students, and adults, such as entering college, and employee candidates for job placement. Today in society there are several testing options for intelligence, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC), Standford-Binet Intelligence Scale, and College Admission Test (SAT), (Benson, 2003). The American Psychological Association uses the intelligent intelligence approach for testing, as other professionals do. The intelligence testing determines effectiveness, and analyzes theories in this paper. Intelligence Testing Theories Intelligence testing is determined through a series of tests and evaluations. The evaluations are administered first to determine what type of testing is acquired. College student entering college must take a SAT test first before entering college...

...Mindful Emotional Intelligence In College Students College students unusually face personal, socioeconomic and academic responsibilities that are often ignored (Barragán, Lewis, Palacios, 2007). Several studies show that psychological problems suffered by college students are related to anxiety disorders, stress and fear of being evaluated (Salanova, Breso, & Schaufeli, 2005). These emotions have a really important and transcendental role on student’s lifestyle, their way of interacting with their own reality and their everyday life. Likewise, the increase of college workload, lack of motivation, the feeling of failure, hopelessness about the future or a low concept of auto efficacy have increased frustration expectancies among students because nowadays a bachelor’s degree is not enough for young people to find a good job (Tejedor & García Valcárcel, 2007)....

...Dr. Gardner says that our schools and culture focus most of their attention on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. We esteem the highly articulate or logical people of our culture. However, Dr. Gardner says that we should also place equal attention on individuals who show gifts in the other intelligences: the artists, architects, musicians, naturalists, designers, dancers, therapists, entrepreneurs, and others who enrich the world in which we live. Unfortunately, many children who have these gifts don’t receive much reinforcement for them in school. Many of these kids, in fact, end up being labeled "learning disabled," "ADD (attention deficit disorder," or simply underachievers, when their unique ways of thinking and learning aren’t addressed by a heavily linguistic or logical-mathematical classroom. The theory of multiple intelligences proposes a major transformation in the way our schools are run. It suggests that teachers be trained to present their lessons in a wide variety of ways using music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play, multimedia, field trips, inner reflection, and much more (see Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom). The good news is that the theory of multiple intelligences has grabbed the attention of many educators around the country, and hundreds of schools are currently using its philosophy to redesign the way it educates children. The bad news is that there are thousands of schools still out there that teach in the same old dull...

...Scholars have contended that cultural intelligence is essential to successfully communicating across cultures (Earley & Ang, 2003; X. Lin & Miller, 2003). Cultural intelligence (CQ) is an individual’s natural ability to effectively acclimate to unfamiliar culturally diverse settings (Earley & Ang, 2003, p. 9). Groves & Feyerherm (2006) contends that interest in CQ has gained prominence today because fairly common capabilities including, cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, and social intelligence, which are relevant to functioning in culturally diverse settings that impacts one’s cognition and social behaviors, are unrelated when individuals interact with others from diverse cultural backgrounds (p. 538). Accordingly, managers that have the capability to handle the culturally diverse business setting in which they operate, are favored very highly and are in strong demand (Groves & Feyerherm, 2011) because this ability enables them to shape performance outcomes (Ang et al., 2007)....

...In a world filled with so many new technologies that try to make an average humans life easier, there are bound to be downfalls. Nicholas Carr, was a writer who always loved getting caught up in books and researching information. Things have changed though. He has noticed that he loses concentration while reading and finds himself forcing his attention back to the book just after three pages. Carr believes there is one thing to blame, the internet. People are just looking for at most three paragraphs to answer their questions. That’s why the world of web research has taken off. People are now getting lazier and only want their questions answered and that’s it. So what are these positive and negative consequences of exclusive reliance on electronics, specifically the internets information in general. I. Critical Thinking One consequence that we see of digital text rather than printed text is in the way it effects our critical thinking. The ways we use technologies develop habits of mind. Now days we seem to skim to quickly to find the information we need. While before we used to be able to read deep, intellectual books without any problem. While reading the text we multitask while on a screen. We are bombarded by colorful and exciting ads on every website makes it hard to concentrate.Our concentration starts to drift while reading books after two or three pages. “My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing.

...basketball at a private school. No one at the school believed Jamal had any academic capabilities; they only believed he was there to play basketball. One of his teachers even went as far as to accuse Jamal of plagiarism. However, Jamal Wallace is innocent of plagiarism because he demonstrates a high level of integrity, the faculty at Mailor Callow was unfair to him, and he naturally possesses a high level of intelligence. One reason that Jamal Wallace is innocent of plagiarism is that he demonstrates a high level of integrity. Jamal was receiving help on his writing from Forrester; however, Forrester requested that Jamal never tell anyone about him or the work that they were doing. When Jamal was accused of plagiarizing, he could have cleared up the charges immediately, but he demonstrated integrity and kept his promise to William. Additionally, the professor asked Jamal to write a paper in his office. Jamal could have told him he wouldn’t do it, but he wanted to show that he could. Unfortunately, Jamal was under too much pressure and wasn’t able to write the paper, but he still didn’t give up Forrester. Finally, Jamal demonstrates integrity by throwing the school’s championship game. The dean told Jamal that if he won the game, the plagiarism charges will go away, but Jamal being the good kid that he is missed the shots on purpose because he wanted to prove that he was better than just being there for basketball.

...my choice. I made sure to marry a man that respects, adores and allows me to peruse my dreams. I have seen that if you are ok to lead your life as per others peoples rules, regulations, whims and fancies you are considered to be a good girl. The moment you stand for your rights and beliefs you will be called a rebel, a misfit, a bad girl. I was absolutely the same person through and through but at that point I choose to follow my heart that’s all. Since then I have followed no one rules and have only followed my heart. People are attracted to money or beauty. They crave what they lack. I was and am still attracted to an intelligence and free existence. As a child, I have come very close to failing maths in every single exam I appeared for. This raised serious issues in my mind about the intelligence I possessed. Though interested in literature my answer papers were full of these red marks circled every two words away. I was absolutely passionate about writing and expressing my views. But they all got drowned in spelling mistakes. Plus I was very clumsy and accident prone. I was sure that I could never could complete anything with hundred percent perfection. Today I know that was because I have really high standards. Even the smallest error is glaringly noticeable to me and causes me sleepless nights. When no one even notice it, I do, I know were the error lies. As a child if I was asked to collect laundry or bread by the time I reached home I would have at least dropped it twice...
