Strictly for school work

Journal According to Miss Kinnian

2nd March

I visited Charlie today but he refused to see me. This would be my third time visting Charlie but he has always rejected me . Ever since he came back to the langauge centre I knew that something had gone wrong. Something regarding the operation. I had always felt that such an operation would have been impossible. Tripling one's IQ, it would not have suceeded in the first place. Charlie had unfortunately been the victim of this botched operation. In the span of just a few months, Charlie's IQ had tripled and he became one of the brightest person I had ever seen. However, as quickly as his intelligence had rose, it had all come crashing down. Now, he is desperately clinging onto his intelligence. Trying hard to recall all that he had learnt in the previous 2 months. Oh please let Charlie remember , just let him remember his contributins........

Strictly for school work

Based on the results I have achieved with the highest namely intrapersonel, interpersonel, logic, kinaesthetic, naturalistic, visual, liguistic and musical. I feel that taking this test is beneficial for us as it will help us understand ourselves better and thus lead us to learn better. From this test I can conclude that I learn best through looking and listening. I also realised that I had already knew so much about myself and I am also a naturalistic person.I have also further reinforced on the idea that I am good at maths. I also found out that I know my friends well and that came as a surprise to me as I have made my friends angry or upset with me due to several misunderstandings. Overall, this test has been very beneficial to me and I hope to find out more about myself.
