Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 , I LOVE your explanation of IQ's, especialy the part about " What we are is God's gift to us - what we become is our gift to God! " That is so very true! Melody, I really flubbed up trying to explain with my little grandson. What I should've said is, if you are one of 100 people taking the test, and you make 100 on it, you did better than 50% of those people. If you got 110, you did better than 75% of the other people taking the test. If you made 120, you did better than 93% of the other people taking the test(93 out of 100 ain't bad!). In comparing his age of 8 to ages of older children, I clouded the issue...sorry. It bothers me how so many of us, myself included, don't think very highly of ourselves. Of course we don't want to be conceited or braggerts, but I see so much intelligence and talent in all of you just by reading your letters, and I don't think many of us realize that we even posess it! I know I have doubted my abilities most of my life. Maybe, if we started giving ourselves positive messages, loving messages everyday, to counteract those negative messages we have in our heads from teachers, parents, husbands, ect., all these numbers we measure ourself by won't have such power over us. Just a thought!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 Patty! Wise words from a wise woman! It's funny, I feel that way about - I don't place a lot of stock in his test scores, but what I "know" he has learned for the year. Yet, when it comes to myself I tend to judge by the "world's standards" silly.....I agree that we need to stop placing such emphasis on the numbers and go by what we feel or know in our heart of hearts to be true! Don't worry, I understood about your grandson, it just struck me as funny is all The interesting thing to me is the test that I give my son to see where he is, so I know what to do with him next year - "I" failed miserably on when I took it myself LOL, but taking this so-called "IQ" test - I tested pretty high.....I'm going to give it to him and if he scores higher than me....then I might start to worry....or maybe not - if he scores higher then that must mean that I'm doing something right! hmmmm....food for thought Melody Moris, LeaderTOPS #TX 1454, Pleasantonhttp://www.texastops.org OT: IQ good or bad??> >Date: Sun, 23 May 2004 09:15:53 -0500> >> >help!
