The Neuroscience Behind Increasing Your Intellect I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better. ~Maya Angelou The great debate on intelligence is a long and complicated one and for centuries people have tried to discover how to increase their very own intellect. But now because of the great advances in neuroscience on intelligence, psychologists have discovered multiple ways to incur neurogenesis or the growing of one’s brain cells. The History of Neurogenesis Explained Not long ago, scientists and the mass opinion of growing new brain cells was that it simply does not happen. During the 1970s Michael Kaplan was conducting research on baby rats and how they grew brain cells. But that’s where Michael Kaplan’s got interesting — he found out that it’s not the mature brain cells replicating. So How Exactly Do We Increase Intellect? After Michael Kaplan published 19 scientific papers into his findings, scientists didn’t agree on the fact that neurogenesis occurs into the 1990s. Practical Ways To Getting Smarter
Socionics Socionics, in psychology and sociology, is a theory of information processing and personality type, distinguished by its information model of the psyche (called "Model A") and a model of interpersonal relations. It incorporates Carl Jung's work on Psychological Types with Antoni Kępiński's theory of information metabolism. Socionics is a modification of Jung's personality type theory that uses eight psychic functions, in contrast to Jung's model, which used only four. These functions process information at varying levels of competency and interact with the corresponding function in other individuals, giving rise to predictable reactions and impressions—a theory of intertype relations.[1] The central idea of socionics is that information is intuitively divisible into eight categories, called information aspects or information elements, which a person's psyche processes using eight psychological functions. History[edit] Organizations[edit] There are several socionics organizations.

Mark Twain's Top 9 Tips for Living a Kick-Ass Life “It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.” “Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” “When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.” You may know Mark Twain for some of his very popular books like Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He was a writer and also a humorist, satirist and lecturer. Twain is known for his many – and often funny – quotes. 1. “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” If you don’t approve of yourself, of your behaviour and actions then you’ll probably walk around most of the day with a sort of uncomfortable feeling. This can, in a related way, be a big obstacle in personal growth. What you may be bumping into there are success barriers. Or if you make some headway in the direction you want to go you may start to sabotage for yourself. 2. “Age is an issue of mind over matter. 3. 4. 5. 6. And that’s OK.
Sentient Developments: Ranking the most powerful forces in the Universe There are a large number of forces at work in the Universe, some more powerful than others -- and I'm not talking about the four fundamental forces of nature. A force in the context I'm talking about is any phenomenon in Universe that exhibits a powerful effect or influence on its environment. Many of these phenomenon quite obviously depend on the four basic forces to function (gravity, electromagnetism, the weak interaction and the strong interaction), but it's the collective and emergent effects of these fundamental forces that I'm interested in. And when I say power I don't just mean the capacity to destroy or wreak havoc, though that's an important criteria. A force should also be considered powerful if it can profoundly reorganize or manipulate its environment in a coherent or constructive way. Albert Einstein once quipped that the most powerful force in the Universe was compound interest. 4. Black holes can also vary in size and gravitational intensity. That's a lot of pull. 3. 2.
Home Duality Relations INTp and ESFp by Stratiyevskaya ILI – INTp – Balzac (Ni-Te) SEE – ESFp – Napoleon/Caesar (Se-Fi) 1. ILI-SEE. Correlation of programs. SEE's main program: the power of "goodwill", the power of "the forces of good". SEE's program is evolutionary, democratic, positivist. SEE's position: "Give the power to those who are strong, kind, and successful (to those who have earned it) - let him be the leader, let him humanely and positively transform society and protect it against all possible hostile attacks." Populist ideas of this program allow it to be successful during the initial stages of its implementation, when power is being swayed, and retains its popularity until its seemingly simple and accessible "recipes" for "universal happiness" start to disappoint ...
How the Press Covered Health Care Reform In the 10-month period from June 2009 through March 2010, the health care debate was the leading subject in the mainstream news media, accounting for 14% of the overall coverage studied by PEJ. That put it slightly ahead of coverage of the economy (12%) and well ahead of the third-biggest story, the war in Afghanistan (6%). But the trajectory of health care coverage was uneven. It spiked in earnest in August 2009 (at 21% of the newshole), when the angry town hall protests generated major attention and remained high in early fall (at 18% in September). At that point, the conventional political wisdom held that there would be no health care legislation passed in the foreseeable future. In the last week in February, Barack Obama suddenly re-ignited the debate, first by unveiling his own health care plan and then three days later, by convening a televised bi-partisan summit meeting that generated little agreement but considerable attention. Suddenly, health care was back in the news.
Myers-Briggs-Typindikator Der Myers-Briggs-Typenindikator (kurz MBTI, von englisch Myers-Briggs type indicator – nach Katharine Briggs und Isabel Myers) ist ein Instrument, mit dessen Hilfe die von Carl Gustav Jung entwickelten psychologischen Typen erfasst werden sollen. Der Indikator wird überwiegend im Bereich Coaching und Personalwesen eingesetzt. Von der wissenschaftlichen Psychologie wird der MBTI abgelehnt, weil er den Mindestanforderungen an Gültigkeit und Verlässlichkeit nicht entspricht.[1] Einführung[Bearbeiten] Der MBTI baut auf der Typologie von Carl Gustav Jung auf, der seine Beobachtungen in „Psychologische Typen“ niederschrieb. Durch die Publikationen von David Keirsey gewann die jungsche bzw. myers-briggsche Typologie eine größere Bekanntheit. In den USA sind im Laufe der Zeit mehrere Dutzend Bücher über den MBTI und das damit verbundene Persönlichkeitsmodell erschienen.

THE SOCIOLOGY OF KNOWLEDGE Before we go any further here, has it ever occurred to any of you that all this is simply one grand misunderstanding? Since you're not here to learn anything, but to be taught so you can pass these tests, knowledge has to be organized so it can be taught, and it has to be reduced to information so it can be organized do you follow that? In other words this leads you to assume that organization is an inherent property of the knowledge itself, and that disorder and chaos are simply irrelevant forces that threaten it from outside. --William Gaddis, JR, p. 25 According to C. Perhaps no where is this imagination so exercised than in the sociology of knowledge, which studies the social sources and social consequences of knowledge--how, for instance, social organization shapes both the content and structure of knowledge or how various social, cultural, political conditions shield people from truth. There are at least three broad intellectual traditions of this subdiscipline.
SOCIONICS: Personality Types and Relationships Unlocking the door - FEATURE Open access is the subject of much discussion among academics and publishers and plays an important role in the communication of peer-reviewed information to scientists, clinicians and educated patients. However, there is substantial disagreement about the open access concept, along with much discussion about the economics of funding an open access communications system for clinical publications. Reactions range from moving with enthusiasm to a new open access publishing model, to experiments in providing as much free or open access as possible, to active lobbying against open access proposals. The idea of open access was born out of research scientists' need to retrieve information quickly and cost-effectively that would enable them to accelerate their own research and, in turn, communicate with their peers quickly and more effectively. It follows the trend towards increasing use of online resources to access published research, in some cases negating the need for paper journals.
