Assignment:

Hello, I am hoping you would be able to elaborate with me on a topic/video we have recently discussed in my Psychology/Human development. The topic is called Intelligence: "battle of the brains".

I have included an overview on the topic/discussion in case you are not familiar with the article.

Overview:

Horizon takes seven people who are some of the highest flyers in their field - a musical prodigy, a quantum physicist, an artist, a dramatist, an RAF fighter pilot, a chess grandmaster and a Wall Street trader. Each is put through a series of tests to discover who is the most intelligent? The principle way that we measure intelligence, the IQ test, remains popular and convenient. Yet most psychologists agree that it only tells half the story. This program advocates a different approach, creating an array of unusual challenges to assess brainpower and positing an argument for the interplay of multiple intelligences. Assisted by the insights of Harvard's Howard Gardner and experts using brain scanning technology at UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute, the program brings together a group of obviously bright and talented people and presents them with trials of all shapes and sizes. The results establish the validity of measuring not just what people know but also the equally important ways in which they exercise their practical, creative, emotional, and kinesthetic IQs.

Some questions to be discussed initially before the video were

1. How do you think about intelligence? Is it one thing (i.e., more intelligent people are better at most mental activities than less intelligent people) or multiple things (i.e., people can be strong in some intellectual areas and less strong in others)?

2. Do you think it's mostly fixed, or can it change with time and experience?

And after are

Take another look at the questions above. Did your views change as a function of having watched the video? Why or why not?
