Intelligence exams only scratch surface
According to Dr A K Sharma neurologist at Al Zahra Private Medical center in Dubai .Intelligence exams only scratch the surface, and should not be the optimal barometer of brain power “If you want to do a real neurological psychological examination of a person’s intelligence and various other modalities of the function of that intelligence, you need atleast one month to study that person in a series of several tests.
"More important than having high degree of intelligence is the way you can channelize it and make it function. On the one hand, you find very intelligent people who are plebeian and on the other hand there are those who are philistine and don’t have a cultural attitude. Again there are others who can be bourgeious."
"An individual has to strive and strike a balance of distribution of intelligence to cover all the important aspects of the personality"
