Why are intelligence tests so difficult? Because they have been designed by some rather stupid people, who feel that you can measure a person's merit by their ability to perform a bunch of unimaginative calculations that are far better suited to a computer. But we are humans, not machines. We have depth, sensitivity, wit, wisdom, hope, faith, compassion and creativity. They count for far, far more. I keep having this argument with mum these days that it's not our brains we need to listen to ... it's our heart...But she seems to be under the illusion that intelligence, decency and frankly 'adam boodan' has a direct relationship with a piece of paper that is either your bachelor or doctorate!!!....Please Mother...was all I could say today to end that argument....although I am pretty sure it will crop up again!
