I agree with Gardner that a simple IQ test should not, and doesn't determine a person's intelligence. I believe that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses that can not be found taking a test on just two subjects. One person score high on the math and language of a test, and another may not. The one who didn't score well does not necessarily mean they are not intelligent; it just means those two subjects are not their strongest. There are many different types of intelligence; like Gardner pointed out that can relate to people in other ways. Like for example, I believe that someone has intelligence for being able to build models or structures of some kind just as I think someone has intelligence if they have good mathematical skills. I also do think; like Gardner represented, that intelligence can become even stronger and more improved by progress and work brought to those different areas by anyone who tries to do so.

I did agree with my results I received, and I scored highly in the areas in which I thought I would and low in the areas I thought I would also. I knew I wouldn't score very high in the area where it talked about math and computers because math is just about my least favorite subject, and computers are not my strongest device either. I however thought I would score fairly high, and I did in the style where it was about exercising and doing activities and such because I like to stay active and that is something I am very interested in doing.

I do know Mr. Calarco. I had him for English my sophomore year, and he was also my High School Track and Field coach.
