Digging my own grave
Does the blame lay with our curious ancestors or should I simply reprogram myself? If it was only that simple.
When Alfred Binet studied children of early age I doubt he himself knew what kind of revolutionary invention he would one day succeed to create. Not without the help of many others and improved by many also, such as William Stern who in the end named the intelligence-test IQ-test. From here, the offspring was created and every country now has their own IQ-test even though the government would deny that.
Hence we arrive at today's rubbish rant of mine. Did the test and the results were not splendid. There is no failure only comparison to earlier results, although that is an addition of needles in my eyes. Truly I see no purpose of these kind of national tests where everyone participate only to be judged, this test which also contribute to University entrance chances. It is acknowledged by many that accomplishment boosted by drive and not something outside our perimeter. Many with no doubt would do a lot better compared to those who simply enter a University because they have the grades. Of course I am not saying that those who have fought hard are worthless but it is just something to keep in mind. Which leads to the conclusion is "unfair" then again I'm not going to rant like a child but the fact is disturbing to know.
