is marks alone is enough to know a child intelligence?

Answer 1

No. There are many famous scientists, writers and businessmen who did terribly in school, but had wonderfully rich and fulfilling lives.

Marks are a measure of a child's ability or disposition to unquestioningly accept authority and repeat what he/she has been told.

Answer 2

Marks alone does not tell a child's intelligence, there are so many ways to find out the CI, but making use of the intelligence counts, its their ability to use it to a right decision is real intelligence

Answer 3

Absolutely NOT!

WHY? Because testing of intelligence and even scores on any test only show two things. A persons knowledge in that area and then their ability to do well on testing.

True intelligence can be missed by tests, because many people simply do not do well on testing.

It doesn't take into account life skills. It doesn't take into account a persons social skills, which are part of intelligence.

Most testing doesn't take into account social differences that often have to do with poor testing.

To make I.Q testing reliable, you'd have to base the tests upon things within a child's world, their culture, their part of the country of whatever country they live in. And so much more. In the US most I.Q testing is based upon a males experience in a middle class white family in the easter US.

I have several types of dyslexia. So for me, testing never actually shows my real abilities, full range of knowledge. I'd have to be asked the question, given time to think about it and I can't write well by hand, so I'd have to be given time to type out my answers and correct errors, in order to show even my basic skills in math, english, science, social studies, etc.

I know people who are highly intelligent when it coems to areas not shown or tested on any test in school or I.Q testing.

If my child was doing poorly grade wise. I'd want to know if they had a learning problem and get that address. But I'll look at my child's total abilities and knowledge before worrying.

I've known people that have done just C's or less in school, tried really hard in school, were considered a failure by many. But family believed in them and once out in the real world the have excelled, some have gone on two own businesses and others great skills as parents.

Success and intelligent have about 30 percent in common in my opinion.

As for, Is marks alone enough to know a child intelligence. NO, and I'd say if the child is trying hard, does well in other areas of their life and you've checked into learning problems. That if they can at least get C's, encourage them, help them get home work done without doing it for them. Find out where their interests lie, help them develop skills and abilities like singing, other artistic tallents, so they are well rounded and have the opportunity to find where their nitch of sucess can be.

Answer 4

No. Marks of the child are an indication that u have not understood the psychology of the child, his likes and dislikes and how to channel his/her energy. The child is seeking the loving attention of the parents remember only LOVING ATTENTION and mind ur language while ur child is around, never call a child unintelligent or BUdhu, duffer, dull etc. even jokingly. A child becomes, what he or she hears daily. Parents are the makers of fortune of a child.

Answer 5

Nope. A child's intelligence is shown by marks, a child has far more than you could ever imagine. But it dosen't show unless you really focus to see.

Answer 6

No. In fact, one of the key indicators of a learning disability is when there is a discrepancy between academic performance and intellectual capacity, as measured by standardized intelligence tests.

In other words, it is entirely possible for a very bright child to earn poor grades in school.

Answer 7

I have talked to a lot of intelligent kids but some did not have any common sense, to me intelligence is being well rounded in both common sense and knowledge. By the way it is rare.

Answer 8

No, only marks doesn't lead the child any were the child might be intelligent but he might not have interest in our system of education. he might be bright in all manners but not necessary that it should reflect in his marks.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Absolutely not. Below average students who study very hard, average students who study somewhat and above average students with no effort can virtually get the same marks.
