Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence. But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.
The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’ include one’s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year study, American psychologists
50
that the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligenceitself , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.
thoughpeople all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to
53
these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, or laziness, but they never take intoconsiderationthese non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into reasons why students dopoorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises, or
56
criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and give themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray（堕落）because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were afraid of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .
