Week #1- Testing your IQ  

I don’t think the test that we took in class measures someone’s true intelligence, but just their ability to perform on a test. First off some people could be having a bad day during the test, which can affect their performance, but in real life they may be a very intelligent person. Intelligence also comes in many forms. Those IQ tests may measure a person’s ability to do well in school, but no way do they measure the much more complex area of ‘intelligence.’ Also I doubt one person is way smarter than someone else simply by answering a tricky question. But that’s all those tests are about.

Overall in this article, the Mozart effect was being studied. Generally, these studies were tested to see if listening to classical music would increase your specific types of intelligence, particularly spatial temporal abilities. After just a few minutes of being exposed to Mozart music, spatial abilities does increase quite a bit surprisingly. This believed to be true since your neural transmitters are “warm up” to help improve spatial performance. However, the Mozart effect might just be a myth, since they only tested on college undergraduates. In my opinion, the Mozart effect won’t work but classical music does help you relax and concentrate a bit.
