There was a report on the news today concerning intelligence. They showed a group of fifth graders answering questions about historical events and getting the answer correct. Well, our jobs as adults is to do something with knowledge while the kids job at that age is to memorize things and regurgitate it for the test on Friday! What makes us smart, is it just memory?
The following three markers have been shown to have a impact on intelligence: Speed IQ, Non-verbal IQ, and working memory. 50 Percent of your intelligence is genetic and the rest is the environmental factors.
I strongly feel that we need to keep our brains alive, think, remember, exercise it, use it!
Life goes by so fast...need to take a few seconds to write down and remember experiences that make me the person I am.
