I am interested in science!!!!!!!!! I am maybe 60 % good at it.... the question is how can i get intelligent!!

Question

Intelligence is by birth or something that we aquire!!! It seems like my brains are not enough to do anything to with science but i still simply love this subject. Is intelligence directly proportional to SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

well, the easiest thing i found is to keep going over the material your studying. the more you review, the more you retain the information. this is how you gain intelligent.

Answer 2

Brief response:
There are three specific things to develop that arent as vague and useless as "becomming more intelligent".

Love, understanding, and fluency are what you need to learn. Love the field, understand the basic tools, and understand how to get more understanding, be fluent in the basic tools, and be fluent in becomming fluent in tools of the field.

A TON of science is math, and not arithmetic, but the advanced problem solving. Understand the subjects of ordinary differential equations. Its the point where an idea about some process can be exactly translated to a mathematical relationship, and the data compared to the formula to determine whether the descriptive equation is really predictive. If the data is predicted by the idea.. then the idea is useful.

Some elaboration:
The intelligence tests of today were built long ago, before we understood intelligence as we do. They are no longer intelligence tests. They cant test fluency in gaining fluency, or understanding how to gain understanding.

Intelligence is to the mind what physical ability is to the body.

There are several hundreds of areas where physical abilities are uniquely different, each represented by an olympic sport.

If you want to be great at something, anything, you must love it. There is so much more to life than a single sprint, one sprint does not a marathon make. What makes the runner wake up at 3am to run 12 miles, then work a full day at a normal job? It has nothing to do with the mind, or the body, but the heart. The center of emotion and motivation drives the centers of physical and mental activities. You are interested in it, but can you fall in love with the field?

I say this often: those who make the greatest contributions in their field, and to the world are the ones who love it, and who would do it anyway, with or without a classroom. They change the world.

In college, an average person can get straight A's. The classes are built so that if you understand and are fluent in the material, you get an A. Bright students float along, and get themselves lost in parties, relationships they arent ready for, sometimes other addictions. They drift because though they are bright, their hearts are not in the subject. An underbright student with love is going to be willing to work hard, and study, and ponder. Those three activites, regularly repeated, can get you miles ahead of bright and they come from love, not bright.

The key isnt intelligence. It looks like it is, but its really understanding. Sometimes when you can quickly gain fluent understanding we call it intelligence, but we are really not being specific. Understand how to gain true, comprehensive, deep understanding. Be fluent in how to gain true, agile, reliable fluency.

There are millions of words in every dictionary. You know most of them. You can do things that neither microsoft with all their developers, nor the best programmed computer in the world can do. You can understand a conversation in spoken english, with someone who has a rough accent. That is certainly a demonstration of the capacity to become masterful at science, but now you get to work on your heart. Can you learn to love it, and be passionate about it so that you are willing to put in the effort and make the most of your interest and your intelligence? Thats what you have to find out.

Oh, do the things you love. Millions of people are exhausting their short lives doing jobs they detest for kids who hate them. Get a job that will fill your heart, because life sucks the heart dry. Get a job that will charge you up to do it, after you have done the same thing every day for 15 years. You do that by chosing the things you love, and running hard with them.

Answer 3

You already possess the main ingredient to be successful in a science related career - and that's your enthusiasm for the subject. I believe everyone is born with a certain level of intellegence so we have have no control over that - we do, however, have complete control over how we use our intellegence to its best potential.

Obviously, irregardless how how much we love the subject, most of us can never achieve the level of an Einstein, Bohr or, most recently, Hawking. But, remember, all of these famous people built their theories and knowledge from accumulated knowledge from other scientists in the past.

And just because we can't paint like Rembrandt doesn't mean we can't be a successful artist.

Read and study. Stay up on the latest developments in what ever field you choose and strive to be the best you can be. If you work hard enough at it, you will succeed.

The "famous" Yankee's catcher Yogi Berra used to always say that he had no natural talent for baseball, but he had a love for the game and he just plain worked harder at it than most. Yogi ended his career with more World Series rings than any other catcher in baseball history - not too shabby for a guy with no talent, eh?

Answer 4

Read some books about simple pure logic or pure math (John Allen Paulos would be an excellent start), they will help you develop your natural ability to "think straight". If you are smart enough to tie your shoes and surf the net, you are smart enough to do almost anything you like!

Enjoying science will get you further in that field than being able to remember Avagadro's Number or pi to 30 places anyway. There's always somewhere to look up "details" if you understand basic principles and find them exciting.

You should make a bed of nails. Not only because it's fun, but because if you "accidentally" let it slip that you are doing that in front of your science/math teachers, (unless you have cruddy science/math teachers!), they will realize you have "more than the average" interest in science, and will help you even more.


Good luck!

Answer 5

I doubt no-one is 100% good at science. If they were, then we'd probably have flown to the edge of the universe by now.

That's the beauty of science, theres sooo many fields you can excel in, its a massive subject!

I say think about what part of science you really think you could be good at and focus on that. Get some books out from the library or ask some teachers or scientists how you get into it.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Science comes a lot easier to some, then it does to others, but everyone can learn it, it just takes more time for some people.

If you learn to understand science, instead of just memorizing formulas, you will find that with everything new you learn, you add another piece to the puzzle and you will eventually be able to draw your own conclusions, without reading about it first.

Answer 7

Intelligence is the capacity to learn.

Knowledge is the amount you have learned.

The people with the most intelligence CAN learn the most. Intelligence sets the upper limit to knowledge.

If two people have similar levels of intelligence, then the one who studies best is the one with the most knowledge.

Some people learn by listening, some by reading, some by doing, some by discussion. Have yourself tested to see which method is best for you. I learn more by discussion and doing rather than passive listening and/or reading.

Read this. Print it out and give it to (or email the URL) and discuss it with someone whose opinion you trust.

Find out how you learn best and consentrate on that.

Answer 8

It's not necessarity about marks. There are lot's of people who get bad marks, but are really good at something that is very related to science. There are also those that get awesome grades, but just can't get it right in the real world. When is all comes down to it, it really depends on what you like to do. If you really like it, just go for it, you won't be able to rest untill you do anyway.

Answer 9

Science is all around you - natural (birds and bees), man made (the computer you see right now), and anything your imagination can conceive (Science fiction), or maybe you can actually see something nobody else has seen yet (invention), so relax and enjoy, study what interests you, and it will all fall into place.

Answer 10

Spent more time to study the subjects you are interesting.
Concentrat on major subject.
Have foods with good nutrition.Have nice sleeping.
