gnvqsos Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 do good exam results prove intelligence or a good memory It is the exam which measures the intelligence,and the results which signfy;most examiners do not claim to measure intelligence but test for evidence of learning.

shortcrust Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Any form of communication should be unambiguous to avoid confusion and aid understanding. I quite agree! For example, imagine the potential confusion and ambiguity if people stopped using questions marks. What are you doing then if not setting a good example.

I was told the rhetorical questions should omit question marks for emphasis;none other Martin A Miss was my lecturer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamatron Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 It 100% depends on the exam. If the exam tests applied knowledge then memory doesn't help that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Nothing that can be taught is worth learning!(Oreson Welles) 'Nothing worth knowing can be taught' - Oscar Wilde. And what a stupid quote that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 No, they denote someones ability to perform well in tests with "triangles, circles, boxes and diagrams that require continuing in logical sequence or any questions requiring logical reasoning." jb Those tests are given to establish a person's IQ. The exams talked about on the thread do not determine a person's intelligence but classify the person's ability to focus on studying, digesting, undertsanding and memorizing a particular subject/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 'Nothing worth knowing can be taught' - Oscar Wilde. And what a stupid quote that was! Well spotted!!!! The stupid people take the quote a face value;Wilde was refering to Irish education at the time.Experiential primary learning does trump the seconadary taught version in most cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
