Anyways, the test itself was quite intriguing to take. Sometimes taking tests can be quite amusing for me, that is testing my knowledge, forcing my brain to think in different ways - I kind of enjoy it. To be completely honest, for the 'identify the words and what is opposite to them' section, some of the words i recognized, but I did not completely remembered the definition. Basically I used the best knowledge I could, in which could mean I was guessing? I did the best I could, and I assume that's all that really matters. Essentially, all in all, I have neutral feelings over my results.

Another aspect that can be related to IQ testing is the Mozart Effect.
The Mozart Effect

My declared to me that she used to play Mozart to me during the time of her pregnancy with me, due to the superstitious beliefs that her aunts told her, in which they stated that the music would enhance my "smartness." However, it is said that "No evidence exists that supports a direct link between greater math ability, listening," and physical well being, "to Mozart’s music," but then again a study in 1999 claimed that "participants' spatial intelligence scores improved by 8-9 points, by far the largest increase reported in the literature," because of the Mozart Effect. Also, "Mozart effect research showed an increase of 1.4 general IQ points between participants listening to Mozart or silence." But then again, some have discovered that most of the procedures to test the Mozart Effect were done incorrectly or trained with mistakes. As for now, humans do not completley know if the Mozart Effect truly holds a positive outcome for us.....Will humans ever really discover or understand the connection between the Mozart Effect and human abilities?
