埃利娜今年15岁,在英国的普通中学就读。根据官方测试,她可是一个天才哦!一起来听听这位天才的自白――
I didn’t even think about how intelligent I was
until this April. I heard about Mensa注 on TV and asked my mum if she knew what it was. She told me that it’s an organisation that only those in the top 2% of the population, intelligence-wise, can join. She also told me that she’s a member. So, just out of
interest, I took the test.
There are two different tests and you just have to pass one of them. I passed on the one with shapes.
The other test was with words, which I didn’t pass. English isn’t my strong point because I’m
Norwegian. I came to England nearly five years ago. I could hardly speak any English then, but now most people can’t tell that I’m foreign.
Top 1%
Anyway, it turns out my IQ (Intelligence Quotient[(数学)商])is in the top 1%!
I’ve never felt more intelligent than those around me, because I never knew I was. One of my friends beats me in every subject, but she got less than me on an online IQ test, which surprised me. So I don’t think you can always tell who’s the most intelligent it’s
not just about grades.
Frustrations
I do get impatient if people don’t understand something that I’m explaining. Sometimes in class,
especially German (which is really close to Norwegian), when people get a question wrong I just say the answer because I get so impatient. I get told off[责备] a lot for that…
Hardly anyone knows that my IQ is in the top 1%. Just a few of my family and friends, but none of my teachers.
Exam Stress
I don’t think I’m any different from loads of other people at my school. I do worry a lot about exams and have very high expectations for myself my mum
often has to make me stop studying before an exam and calm me down because I get so stressed. But then loads of people get stressed about exams.
“I’m no better than others.”
I would never, ever think I was “better” than anyone who isn’t as intelligent as me. Even though I do get impatient at times, I also understand that others can’t always work as fast as me. But that doesn’t mean I don’t respect them they’re probably better than me at something else, like sport and art.
Am I officially a genius?! I don’t know, and I don’t really care. But my intelligence is important to me. Everyone has something they are good at, and I’m good at thinking logically. And it’s nice to know that’s official!
一直以来,我从没想过自己有多聪明,直到今年4月。我在电视上听说了“门萨俱乐部”,于是问妈妈知不知道那是什么。她告诉我那是一个组织,只有人口中智商最高的2%的精英可以加入。她还说自己是会员。于是,仅仅出于兴趣,我参加了测试。
一共有两种不同的测试,你只需要通过其中一个就可以了。我通过了关于图形的
测试。
另一个测试是关于字词的,我没有通过。由于我是挪威人,英语不是我的强项。我在大约5年前来到英格兰,当时几乎一点英语也不会说,但现在大多数人都听不出我是外国人了。
1%的精英
不管怎样,原来我的智商(智力商数)属于人群中最高的1%。
我从不觉得自己比周围的人聪明,因为我不知道这件事。我有一个朋友,她每一科的成绩都比我优秀,但她的在线智商测试成绩比我差,这让我很吃惊。所以说,我觉得你说不准谁最聪明――这不光是分数的问题。
遇到挫折
当别人不明白我正在解释的问题时,我确实会感到很不耐烦。有时候在课堂上,尤其是德语课(德语和挪威语很接近),当有人答错问题时,我就会直接说出答案,因为我很不耐烦。我经常因为这样的事情挨骂……
没有多少人知道我的智商属于最高的1%。只有几个家人和朋友知道,老师们全然不知。
考试压力
我不认为自己和学校里的其他人有什么区别。我的确对考试很紧张,对自己的期望也很高――由于我太过紧张,考试前妈妈经常不得不强制我停止学习,让我镇定下来。不过,其实很多人会为考试感到紧张。
“我不比其他人优秀。”
我绝对不会认为自己比那些智力没有我高的人“优秀”。虽然我有时的确会感到不耐烦,但我也清楚别人不可能一直像我的反应那样快。但这不代表我不尊重他们――他们可能在其他事情上,比如运动和艺术上比我优秀。
我是一个真真正正的天才吗?我不知道,我也毫不在意。可是智力(得到认可)对我来说很重要。每个人都有自己擅长的东西,而我擅长逻辑思考――能得到官方承认还真不错呢!
注:门萨俱乐部是世界顶级的智商俱乐部,于1946年成立于英国牛津,创始人是律师罗兰德・贝里尔(Roland Berrill)和科学家兼律师兰斯洛特・韦林(Lancelot Ware)。前不久,年仅2岁的英国女童埃莉斯・坦-罗伯茨加入了这个俱乐部,成为这个高智商群体组织中年龄最小的会员。这位小神童智商高达156(普通人平均智商在100左右),仅次于科学家阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦。
