My IQ Score is... (den den den den)

Visual Mathematician

Your IQ Score is: 133

You have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information. These skills combined with your strengths in logic are what make you a Visual Mathematician.

You're able to understand patterns visually and in numbers. That means your mind can create a mental picture for any problem. In addition to that skill, you possess an intelligence that allows you to apply math to that picture, too. That helps you manipulate multiple parts of the picture (or problem) to come up with a solution. You have many skills that are critical to success and problem-solving. Your talents help you understand the "big picture," which is partly why people may turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace. You flourish in environments where tasks are clearly defined, and you are a whiz at improving processes and making things more efficient. Your ability to detect patterns and your skills in math and logic, make it natural for you to come up with ideas and theories that simplify processes for everyone.

Outside of work, Visual Mathematicians tend to do well at strategic activities like chess. It must be that ability to recognize patterns — both as they are and how they develop. Regardless of how you put your mind to use, you've got a great set of talents. You will be able to envision a clear path and calculate the risks, and more importantly, the rewards, of anything you take on.

I want to be a teacher?

Well, these past few days i just realized that i want to be a teacher. But not just any teacher, I want to be a teacher of elementary students. Mainly because of two reasons:

1. I want to be a teacher because I want to be a channel of change in our country.
~teachers are major contributors to the mindset of students. If their parents couldn't give or are not able to give encouragement to their kids, a teacher could fill that void in the child's life.

2. I want to teach elementary students because they're minds are still fresh.
~the young elementary students do not have certain beliefs yet and as their teacher, i could help them form good ones. Not just any superstition from someone. At least, being a Christian, I could help them to get to know God.

I don't know if i'll be a teacher someday but if ever i would, I guess I have to change the direction of my journey.

I took a quiz regarding this matter and guess what, I might not need to change my way.

What Should You Be Teaching?

You should consider teaching math or science

You’re probably not surprised to hear that you would be well suited for a teaching career in math and science. Driven and intelligent, you probably thrive on problem solving and you approach difficult situations with an analytical mind.

While you might not necessarily have a math or science degree already, you probably don’t mind crunching numbers, and you may even enjoy things like balancing your checkbook. Admit it! An expert in taking a hands-on approach to figuring out how and why things work, you are at your best when you’re experimenting and innovating, at home and on the job. A math or science department could really use a go-getter like you!

Balanced-brained. Who? Me?

Balanced-brained

That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation.

When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over.

While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker.

The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.

oooh.. I'm ORANGE.

Orange

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

I guess I'll be needing lots of inspiration to survive.

You’ll survive college with Inspiration

While you might have a little bit of trouble keeping your nose to the grindstone sometimes, you have an amazing imagination and a talent for finding the best way around a problem. We predict you’ll succeed in college, especially if you can find a way to get yourself a little more organized. College is definitely a great place for a dreamer and innovator like you to not just survive but bloom. You never know what each day will bring or where a surprising class or new experience can take you. Just make sure you’re buckling down and doing that studying in the meantime, and we expect to see you at the head of the line on graduation day. Congratulations!

to take the quiz yourself go to HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE COLLEGE?

I guess I'm on the right path...

You’re a Thinker

We think you’re the kind of person who’d enjoy a college major that’s an intellectual extreme sport. Flattery? Hardly. You’re smarter than you think. Probably more comfortable with ideas than anything else, so you might be a great match for an exciting college experience with a major that appeals to your analytical side and talent for independent thinking.

So you should consider majoring in thought-heavy fields like Philosophy, where you can take a wide number of topics and push them to the limit, and Mathematics, where you’ll really get a chance to put that amazing brain of yours to the test with numbers and theories. You could even try challenging your mind majoring in a foreign language or in History.

No matter what you’re going to major in, online universities are a great way to get ahead. See below for more information!

Mull over something simple...

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!

~author unknown~

Simple and ordinary things often go unnoticed but most of them are really meaningful.Especially when you know that God is responsible for it. Even the regular humming of birds that you hear when you wake up or the rustling of leaves in your garden becomes a very special music in your ears when you know that it is God's gift for you and it is delivered in such a way that God knows you will be overwhelmed. For He knows us even before we were born and He knows us better than anyone else. He knows what will make us happy and overjoyed.

Psalm 92:5 (NIV)

How great are your works, O LORD,
how profound your thoughts!

Snap Blog #1 : The Language of Law in the Philippines

Since the court's creation, the english language had been used in court proceedings. But even though english had been used as a medium of communication in terms of law for a long time in the Philippines, there were also some who would prefer to use Filipino in court rather than the universal language, which is english. In fact, for the first time in Philippine judicial history, some of the regional trial courts in Bulacan said that they will use Filipino to promote the national language.

A law practitioner, Zigfred Diaz, agrees that the Filipino language should be used as the language of law in the Philippines. He believes that one of the things that slows our court processes down is the language barrier. He points out that this problem has several effects. First, court proceedings are delayed because what is being said to the witnesses to the case has to be translated from english to the local dialect and vice versa since only english is being used by the courts. And secondly, the parties involved in the case who do not know how to speak english do not understand what is being ligitated. Though the use of the Filipino language would help solve these problems, a lot of complications regarding the processes of law would arise.

Using Filipino in courts in the tagalog-speaking areas of the country might improve the court processes. But for some parts of the country, it might become a bane instead of a boon. The reason for such is that in the Visayas and Mindanao areas where "Visayan" dialect is used, using Filipino would pretty much end up just like when english is used since the local population is not very well-versed in speaking tagalog. And if ever Filipino will be used as the language of law in the Philippines, the 1987 constitution would need a major overhaul. I'd rather hire an interpreter during every trial or hearing than to fiddle with our constitution. Besides, speaking a different language other thatn our native language doesn't make us less of a Filipino. Moreover, as the saying goes, "a person who studies another language doubles his opportunities in life."
