Can marks measure the intellect?

Hi ,

This is one topic which, i think, is very important nowadays in context of the school going kids. 'Marks', for which students end up exceeding all limits of what is called being "sane". They get all night, skip meals, take pills and after all this, if they do not get good marks, they can even commit suicide! But one question keeps cropping up in my head that do these tests really measure a person's intelligece?

Do post your views.

i think there are two possibilities here. either she cant be bothered about studies and gets low marks, or she studies hard and still gets low marks. if it's the latter, then she must be some kind of duffer. i mean, cant you get good grades even by shooting pool all nite? 😉 if she doesn't study much, then again it could mean one of two things. either she is drop-dead gorgeous and knows she can marry a great guy or she is flat-out ugly. if it's the latter, then again she's stupid. not very intelligent to be not studying when u're ugly, is it? if it's the former, then she's a very evolved person. she knows what makes the world go round and has her priorities set right. guy cant help but respect such a gal's mind, in fact be in love with a mind like hers. 😉 hope this helps. 😛 😆

huh????????????😕😕😕wat r u trying to say??? and who is "she"???

No.. Exams show what you learnt and if you remembered it correctly. Focus on learning at least till you are 18-19, you will need it later and not on correlating it with intelligence. 😊 when you gow up there will be plenty of areas to show your inteliigence in😛.
