How Much Do We Understand People?
To Advice or Not To Advice.
From the previous entry: The Schools of Thought and the Paradox of Life
I have promised in my last entry on Psychology and its School of Thoughts that I would be providing a test on how to gauge our mastery or level of understanding of people. This quiz is taken from the book Understanding of Psyhology by Richard Kasschau, Ph.D. I actually gave this quiz to my classmates when I reported on the topic of Nature and Scope of Psychology and not surprisingly, all failed. 
See for yourself!
Take the Quiz.
Activity: How much do we understand people?
Answer True or False.
1. The best behavior of most lower animals — insects, reptiles and amphibians, most rodents, and birds — is instinctive and unaffected by learning.
2. For the first week of life, a baby sees nothing but a gray blur regardless of what he or she “looks at.”
3. A child learns to talk more quickly if the adults around the child habitually repeat the word he or she is trying to say, using proper pronunciation.
4. The best way to get a chronically noisy child to settle down and pay attention is to punish him or her.
5. Slow learners remember more of what they learn than fast learners.
6. Highly intelligent people – “geniuses” – tend to be physically frail and socially isolated.
7. On the average, you cannot predict from a person’s grades at school and college whether he or she will do well in a career.

14. A third or more of the people suffering from severe metal disorders are potentially dangerous.
15. Electroshock therapy is an outmoded technique rarely used in today’s mental hospitals.
16. The more severe the disorder, the more intensive the therapy required to cure it; for example, schizophrenics usually respond best to psychoanalysis.

Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D
