Multiple Intelligences Test


It has been a while since I last posted something, but much more is coming up, so stay tuned!


Okay, moving on. Here is a little extra something that is very interesting.


Guess what? It's a multiple intelligence test! Huh? Boring, you say. Well, it is not really so. At first, I also had the same mindset. But then, after taking this test, I must say it is really interesting and beneficial.


This test utilises specific questions according to how each type of person would react, for example if you are musical (one who loves music/music smart), the question would be: do you enjoy making music?


At the end of the test, you will be given your results. Ta-daa! You now know what attribute fits you most! You can be a naturalistic person (nature smart), kinaesthetic (body smart), linguistic (word smart), logical (number smart), interpersonal (people smart), intrapersonal (myself smart), musical (music smart) or visual/spatial (picture smart).

I myself am more of linguistic and interpersonal, which basically means that I interact well with people and I am better in language than in other subjects like math or music. This benefits me in a way that I relate better with people, as well as speaking languages more fluently.

I feel that this test really helps you a lot. It tells you which way allows you to learn and interact better. For those people who desperately want good results, you can use your newly discovered 'learning way' to study better. For those who want to make more friends, this can also be used to interact better. Overall, I think that you should really take it as it is worth a shot; not more than ten minutes.

Movie Review - Avatar

Here it is - the first anticipated movie review of the year on this blog. Well, this movie had started showing on 17 December 2009. Don't worry if you can't catch it in a cinema, just buy the DVD or VCD.

This is a very brief summary of the movie; I don't want to spoil the excitement of the film. The story starts in a distant planet called Pandora.

Humans have discovered a mineral called unobtanium - as well as a whole new kingdom of creatures, including a humanoid race called the Na'vi. So they created Avatars, genetically engineered Na'vi bodies to communicate with the natives. All a human has to do is to "plug" in to an Avatar's consciousness, he will have control over the Avatar's body.

The conflict begins when the humans discover that much unobtanium was under the Hometree, a gargantuan tree on which the Na'vi built their homes around. So they used the protagonist in his Avatar form to negotiate for the Na'vis to shift their homes till the minerals were mined. However, the Na'vis refused, so a war began. The humans attacked the Na'vis and destroyed Hometree. But the protagonist, in his Avatar form, was already bonded with the Na'vi tribe, so he felt it was cruel and wrong. Thus, he lead the Na'vi people to a revolution to claim back their homeland.
Once you see the awe of the special effects and the realistic foreign backgrounds of Pandora, felt the heat of the battles and the grief of war, you will never want the movie to end. For this movie I'll rate it a 5/5. A real good show, trust me.

Well, since you are reading my blog, I will be regularly posting movie and book reviews on this blog to make your school life more fun. Don't worry, these movies and books are really good, so do go check them out.
