It's hard to just give one answer because I seem a lot more intelligent than others in some areas, but am mentally deficient in others. I seem to be able to come up with ideas and solve problems and be creative better than most people, so in that way it seems I'm in the top 5%. But I'm much below average in speed of thought, below 50%. It's difficult for me to follow along for 2 hours with what a teacher is explaining. If I get lost once, I'll be lost for the rest of the class. I'm also terrible at multitasking. If a professor makes us write down notes, and explains the material simultaneously, I can't do it. I can't concentrate on writing down the notes, comprehending the notes, and listening to the teacher at the same time. I have to choose one. Other students don't seem to have as much of a problem with this (although I'm not sure, since I haven't talked to anyone about this before). But again, I'm generally good at solving problems, and at thinking generally, given enough time. I'm also pretty rational and good at thinking critically. I think the evaluation needs to be kept at that, and not averaged out. |
