116

According to your self-report answers, your emotional intelligence is average. People who score like you do feel that their ability to understand and deal with their own emotions and those of others is acceptable but could still use some improvement. Emotionally intelligent people have an easy time overcoming difficulties in their lives and they are generally able to control their moods. It's easy for them to motivate themselves to overcome obstacles and reach their goals. In addition, they find social interactions to be quite easy and fulfilling, for several reasons. They are comfortable allowing themselves to get close with others, and feel comfortable being vulnerable enough to establish intimacy. They also report having an easy time offering support to others; likely due to an empathetic nature and a clear mind when it comes to offering good advice. Perhaps by working on your problem areas, you can become more confident in dealing with your own emotions and those of others.


Question 1:
I actually do agree with this test result, i handle situations,behave and are confident exactly like it is discribed in the text.

Question 2:
Well i don't know how thoes test actually work but i think they are really generalized. It is only the test and the people who created that test don't know me as a person and can't tell exactly what kind of person i am. It is just calcuating an average of my answers i've given. Also with some of thoese answer i am not quite sure if i would realy handle some situations this or that way it really depends i can't answer all questions with a 100 % guarantee.

Question 3:
I don't think it is important to have an high IQ. I think an IQ doesn't say anything about a person. The only thing it says it how smart you are in terms of academic performance but people can be bright in other areas it does not nececceraly you are dump if yo have a low IQ.People can be gifted in so many ways......good example is the IQ test.

Language...a really interesting topic. It completely surrounds us and we aren't really consciously aware of it. It seems so natural.
Language is relevant to theory f knowlede because it is one of the main ways in which we gain knowledge about the world.
Chapter 3 of my TOK book is all about language. I mind-maped it to get an gerenral overview what language is and what is means to us.

Homework 1

Homework
Is it possible to have an unexpected exam?
1. I think it is possible to haven an unexpected exame. Not in the case we had given
in the role play because there the teacher annouced that there will be an unexpected exam but if the teacher doesn't say anything at all before. In that case the students would go to school not knowing that there might be an unexpected exam at all and what it could be possibly about therefore it is a surprise.

2.Research all the vocabulary given-two of them are made up-which two?
I think
-momniscience
and
-somniscience

are made up because i couldn't find anything about them

3.Make up 3 words and put them in your blog

- stupidtopology (the study of stupidness)
- science fashion (study,research,expereiments and laws of fashion)

Escaping Death

Here comes a little story to think about

Escaping Death
Now Judge Stella had been doing the job for 20 years. In that time she had had many disagreeable, violent people in front of her. However Stella was made of stern stuff. She had never hesitated in sending people to the gallows. “Der Teufel steckt im Detail. “ she used to say – as she sent a prisoner to his death…
The prisoner she saw today was the worst, though. This prisoner was called ‘Rob-the-Philosopher’.
Stella didn’t know much about philosophy – and the title of this prisoner annoyed her.
Stella said: 'I intend to teach you the value of honesty, prisoner. You have been found guilty of being a crook and a swindler and of repeatedly and systematically lying to the court to try to save your wretched skin. Well, justice has caught up with you now, my friend. The sentence of this court is . . .' (here Stella pauses for effect and dons a pair of black gloves and a little black hat) ' . . that you be taken from here to a place of execution and hanged by the neck until you are dead.
. . . BUT, as I am a magnanimous Judge, I shall give you one more opportunity to learn the value of truth. If, on the day of your execution, you sign a statement making one true declaration, the sentence will be commuted to ten years imprisonment. If, on the other hand, your statement is, in the view of the Chief Executioner, false, the sentence will be carried out immediately. And I warn you,' Stella adds, seeing his words having no effect on the crook, 'the Chief is a member of the Logical Positivist Executioners' Club and will dismiss any metaphysical nonsense as false, so don't try any of your tricks on her! There, now you have one day in which to make your choice!'
At this the jury of Eric and Richard, Veronika, Nico, Abraham, Karla, Lau, Celina (now recovered), Vitoria, Andres, Ignacia, and Lau applauded at the severity of the sentence and everyone in the courtroom looks at the defendant, pleased to see such a villain get a heavy sentence, coupled with the humiliating public true declaration. But, strangely, the Philosopher just smirks back as he is led away to Death Row.
The day of the execution arrives and the crook, beaming, signs a declaration which is handed to the Chief Executioner who reads it with growing bewilderment. Then, snarling, she crumples it up and orders the Philosopher be released, with no penalty whatsoever to be ~imposed.
What could the prisoner have said in the statement to have saved himself?

My opinion: The condition Judge Stella made to save the prisoners life was a singed statement of true declaration of him. Well I think the sentence of the court is relative and the prisoner could possibly write about everything, everything of which he know it i true. For example he could say : London is the campital of the United Kingdom. This is fairly true and would safe his life. But i am sure that is not what he wrote down, his truth declaration was something that was actually said in the court by Judge Stella. She said :If, on the day of your execution, you sign a statement making one true declaration, the sentence will be commuted to ten years imprisonment. If, on the other hand, your statement is, in the view of the Chief Executioner, false, the sentence will be carried out immediately. And that was probably exactly his statement....If i write a statement of true delaration i will live if I lie i will die. This would also explain his cheeky smirk at the end of the legal proceedings.
