Geoffrey Chaucer, the author of The Canterbury Tales, used five methods of characterizations to portray characters in the tale. The methods focused on a central characteristic, touchstone line, use of physiognomy, use of hyperbole, and use of incongruous or inappropriate details. The first method of central characteristic explained an overview of the character such as personality and occupation. The second method of touchstone line provided an impression such that it drew an image of the…

People have different understandings and definitions of what an outlier is. According to the dictionary, outlier means a person or thing situated away or detached from the main body or system. If you ask me, an outlier is someone who figures out the solution to a problem that someone else couldn’t. Malcolm Gladwell’s definition of an outlier is a person that works hard to be successful and its intelligence is far above than an average person. In The Outliers, Gladwell shows us his beliefs by…

There is something that must be clarified in your argument: IQ is not a standardized test. IQ stands intelligence quotient and is one type of standard score. There are many tests to measure it; the Standford-Binnet Intelligence Tests and Wecheler Test, both with various types and editions, figure among the most known (Cohen & Swerdlik, 2010). A solution that might help to close those gaps is to test children utilizing measuring tools that are appropriate for the test taker. When considering…

Passer and Smith (2015) described intelligence to be defined by culture. So if culture is an underlying factor of intelligence it can become a problematic issue when assessing Indigenous Australians. Gardener’s multiple intelligence theory, along with Charles Spearman’s g factor theory and Lewis Terman Standford-Binet scales are all underlying theories which all address the same issues in the accuracy of assessments. Literature suggest that language, literacy skills, education and cultural norms…

Abstract— The focus of this paper is to use Mobile-OTP and QR code in online banking authentication system to provide the best hacker security. Recently, personal information has been leaked through a high degree of methods, such as phishing or pharmacy, to capture user IDs and passwords. This will result in an inappropriate ID / password being propagated between different users; thus a secure user authentication system is essential. In this paper, we use a different technology to provide a…

consensus of a definition among scientists. The movie Battle of the Brain documentary.Charles Spearman developed his two-factor theory of intelligence using factor analysis.[1] His research not only led him to develop the concept of the g factor of general intelligence, but also the s factor of specific intellectual abilities. General intelligence factor called g and specific factor. Triarchic Theory of intelligence and Multiple Intelligence Theory. The Triarchic theory of intelligence was…

scholastic aptitude can play a large role in determining one’s intelligence, creativity is also a major factor. IQ tests, or intelligence quotient tests, are supposed to measure intelligence, but due to their ability to measure creativity, their accuracy is highly debated. According to Dan Hurley, award-winning science journalist, “20 to 50 percent of the variation in IQ is due to other factors, whether social, school or family-based” (Hurley 10). Due to this massive variation, IQ tests can…

key protein for clotting is either scarce or malfunctions. It also carries factor VIII, which aids in the stimulation of blood cells for clotting. The two work closely together to create a clot. Patients with a low amount of von Willebrand factor have decreased levels of factor VIII, a vital clotting agent. The two bind together inside blood vessel walls, creating a platelet plug, or a blood clot. When von Willebrand factor is scarce, platelets cannot adhere to each other properly, meaning they…

bone cells and can impact the body through the endocrine system. It has been known that in order to develop rheumatoid arthritis it was most likely obtained through genetic factors rather than the environment or lifestyle. Each individual gene can contribute to the overall development of this disease. One gene that is a factor for rheumatoid arthritis development is the HLA-DRB1 gene. When this gene is paired with other variations of the gene then the likelihood of developing RA are…

1 - Transtheoretical Model is one of the frequently used theories to help improve prediction of and interventions for improving exercise behavior and it was chosen for this study. The article cites that “results regarding exercise self-efficacy, in that case, were similar to those obtained in other studies; but, responses on the exercise pros and cons from the decisional balance measure provided a less clear differentiation across stages than that seen in other studies.” I believe it was an…
