Tezkatlipoka - Self Reflection What knowledge is important, why want knowledge, and who chooses what goes in eighth grade books. Do CST's scores affect your self-esteem? I chose this question because I know in experience that I get affected.

Quetzalcoatl – Precious Knowledge People thought that the brain was a radiator that cooled the blood but then they figured out that the brain was the organ that controlled thought. Galton believed that smartness run through family genes; Scientist tried to prove that smartness is based on year head size; Binet was the guy that began to look at psychology methods to identify your smartness level and he made a test that is now evolved into the IQ test; In this case a stereotype threat is how a whole race as a whole is seen as being not smart; Today's smartness is mainly based on test they always look toward test to identify you in education.

Huiztlilopochtli - The Will to Act I made a research study based on my question Do CST's affect your self-esteem? I made my research by making a survey and giving them to 7th graders. My results ended up being: 32% get affected by their grade 60% didn't affect them and only 8% didn't care

Xipe Totek - Transformation It helped me notice that kids do care about their grades because 54% believe that CST'S are still worth taking them. And out of all of them only 8 % didn't care.
