My favourite subject was art plastique (and hmm writing stories). The only thing that for me doesn't require much intellectual energy.
I hated maths, only because I really wanted to be good at it but absolutely sucked at.
I was pretty much bad at everything, with an overall average (average grade of all the subjects combined) of 11/20.
Most of the time I barely tried. Having an average grade (in a subject) of 5/20 then 14/20 the next trimester, etc., but that's no excuse for being a failure.
I sucked at everything except art plastique, I had 16,5/20. The only subject I could help people at, often did my siblings'/friends' work. After that, there's English with 14/20, Spanish with 13/20 and history/geography with 13/20. P.E. (physical education)

From how it was explained to me by her (and later researched by me), it really seems like some bullshit-y term made for "stupid" people who secretly wish/believe that they are geniuses in disguise.
If she thought there was some intellectual inhibition, she might as well tell me the truth, it's simply stupidity. Instead of coming up with some excuse.
She also told me that she thought I had an above average IQ. What. We barely communicated. And when we did, we only talked about me!! Of course, I'm extremely introspective/self-aware and know practically everything about myself that there is to know, and the subject is "me"! That she formed this opinion by barely conversing with me says more about how quick she is to judge based on little information than anything

I rarely open my mouth, thus I'm much less likely to expose my stupidity to others.
I genuinely think that I'm an imbecile who is sort of mentally slow.
I've asked around, but no one but my mother seems to perceive it, she frequently calls me an "idiot". But I never believe a word she says, even though I think she's right. Anything besides "You're an idiot, Yamna." sounds utterly wrong.
I did a neuropsychological assessment weeks ago, which happened to include an IQ test (WAIS-IV). Needless to say, I think I performed terribly. But I haven't gotten the results yet, I'll get them next week. IQ tests are criticized and debatable (not very effective near the center of the bell curve), but if I am actually mentally slow or something surely it will be obvious enough to show up. Maybe with a low IQ of 70-85, something like that. I'd consider anything below the center of the bell curve, low and deficient, anyway.
(Caveat: I don't think everyone with an average IQ is actually stupid, obviously. Mostly thinking out loud.)
If somehow it shows up as average (90-109), then I don't understand what's wrong with me. And I think that something IS definitely wrong with my
Firstly, I secured myself in the top six percent in my class. In the state of Texas, all public universities automatically accept all students ranking in the top ten percent with the exception of the University of Texas, who automatically accept the top eight percent. In order to make the top ten percent, I took as many weighted classes as I could. I began my eighth grade year by taking algebra a year ahead of the majority of my classmates. In doing so, I
I've always loved learning, especially math. Math has always come easy to me. Science also has never been challenging enough so I took Chemistry this year and I am planning to take physics next years. Chemistry is very challenging for me and I've had thoughts of dropping out of it, but I pushed myself and forced myself not to give

At first, failure was none of my business: I did not really care how high or low my grades were. But when I suddenly experienced what failure was like, I did not like it one bit. In fact, a fear started to grow within me. It was like a hideous, chupacabra-like alien had landed on my territory and I felt I had to do everything to get rid of it. I studied mathematics very hard: harder than I ever had before. I studied how to divide 9 by 3 and 8 by 4, even if I so despised numbers to my very core. I did not like them because they made things abstract to me. Things which I knew became unknown w...
There have been many studies of IQ measurement. Some believe in testing and then looking at biology or heritage of the child. These people also like to use statistics to try to put some sort of explanation on IQ levels. Then there are other groups that use cultural ecology. They study IQ by what effect the environment has on a child, and feel testing it is unfair to the child. The problem is that these two groups rarely come together to help each other. So there are big questions as to what IQ really is and how it should be measured.
Do your best. Even if you don't get all A's or don't have those excellent grades you used to have, it's okay. Make sure you're putting in as much as effort you can and feeling good about yourself. If you want to do better, look into tutors, talking to your teachers or look at Youtube videos about that topic.
One of the major reasons I dropped out was the fact that my Math t...
Can intelligence be measured? Does an IQ test actually measure a person’s intelligence? The answers all depend on who you ask.
I do not think this on-line IQ test is a good predictor of a person’s future achievements. However, I do feel like they can be used in a positive way because they can help identify a persons strengths and weakness. Using the results of an IQ a teacher can help build on a child’s strengths or help a child be brought up to a certain level by using various teaching methods that the test helps identify (Myers p. 471). Therefore because of this an IQ test is a poor indictor of future achievement because a child can work to improve what...
While the IQ test is generally used and widely accepted they have been criticized for several different reasons. One is that the test by its nature measures how well a person does answering questions on paper. However it is well-known that not all forms of intelligence involve memorizing words or solving equations. Recently there has been a movement in psychology regarding something called EQ or emotional quotient. What this is saying that there should also be a rating for people that are particularly able to deal with other people and social situations. While someone that is very good at dealing with people and real world situations is generally not regarded as being intelligent in a stereotypical manner there hasn’t been any definition of intelligence proposed which have ruled out this particular form of intelligence.
My favorite subject in highs cool was math, since it required little English knowledge and my least favorite subject was Physical Education. I would have never thought that I was going to hate Physical Education because usually that’s a class most students would probably like to take again and again.
the whole assessment, this was the only area that I didn’t feel was as accurate. While I have an
Math is a subject has always and will continue to pulled my interests. This was because it was a subject that would lead me to a single unique answer. Once I started to attend high school, physics then opened up another interest, not only with math, but an interest in Math with actual application into the real world. With physics, it allowed me to see how math could be used to predict events. The classes that I have taken that has shaped my interests for my major of science in mathematics are Physics, and Computer Science.
