INKBLOT TEST

I think that the Rorschach Inkblot test is a very interesting method for evaluating people. According to the test, most of my answers were classified in the good or commonly answered category. Although some of my answers fell in the good category some of my other answers fell in the bad category. I don’t believe though that it is the most accurate way to evaluate people. For example, I think you would have to consistently be categorized in the insane category to actually categorize someone as insane. Just because you have one or two things in the insane category, I do not think that would be enough to classify you as an insane person. Just take a look at when we did these tests in class. On a few of the questions, some of the answers kids gave fell into categories like mentally defective, schizophrenic, and even paranoid and horrified, but I do not think any of the kids that answered these questions this way are any of those things. That is why the test might be slightly inaccurate because you cannot base people on how they answered one question and I think for this test to work they would have to be consistent on all of the questions that they answer.

MENSA WORKOUT= 17/30       Subscale IQ Score= 104 Subscale percentile= 61       Questions A.    What is intelligence? ability to learn from experience, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with others ability to learn from experience, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with others B.      Which is more important:  emotional intelligence or intellectual intelligence? I believe that emotional intelligence in more important than intellectual because if a person in not stable emotionally they won’t be intellectually either C.      Is intelligence learned or inherited? I believe it is a little of both because I think you get some from your parents but there is other stuff you have to learn along the way D.      What did you learn about yourself after completing the tests? I think that all my scores are about average with what they should be       Autism risk genes also linked to higher intelligence Autism is a disability in people which they suffer from significant language and speech difficulties. A recent study that was performed has found that the genes linked with autism are also linked to the genes that lead to higher intelligence. So for someone who has the genes that are linked to lead to a greater risk of autism are also likely to develop a high intelligence level. They say it is unclear why autism and intelligence is related. Even though some of the people with autism have an intellectual disability, others with the disorder have average or even above average non-verbal intelligence. The group of researchers who had been working on this particular project did a study and found that even the people that have never been diagnosed with autism, even if they just carried traits that are associated with this disorder, they tended to score a little higher than others on cognitive tests.
