Every individual has the right to their own version of a subject or event, and it can be acceptable to some and rejected by some.
My original idea was different (based on my experience and learning) and i was dual minded to the idea of the IQ test viz the efficiency and the practical application. However the discussion proved to be a blessing as it made me get new ideas, new prospective and new point of views. For example the idea of EQ, the requirement to change the current system so more of the intelligence can be recognized, and the over all efficiency of the system.
I would conclude that an open minded healthy discussion on any subject is an extremely effective tool and it should be practiced not only in education but in other spheres of life be it personal, professional.
Happy Learning!
