what is the best way to test student intelligence apart from exam

well, some of  you might be suprised that this question is somehow ambiguious, but i must tell you i have my reasons for such topic. i wondered in some of the universities where by student were not be grade according to their performances i mean a student who tried to burnt all the candles and put in his best, but at the end the person will hardly got D but some of other students who knows thier way will be having A s which they cannot defend their selves outside there. So my distinguished guest apart from examination what other ways or measure can we used to test student intelligence.

Examination or to examine is to undergo testing for a specific ability or quality. Examination is specific and not general. I assume we all know that a test criteria has to be setup to determine the scoring mode of a test, so it is also specific.

I do not trully understand where you are going with your question, but how do you test for intuition, leadership, honesty, ability to bring up a family, creation and improvement of fertility, spirituality, and so many more. Most of these are things that concern and are required for building our motherland and personal sustenance.

Question?

Has the educational system in Nigeria created an improvement of the life and environment of the country since adopted?

or have we created a society reliant on competition and individualism(capitalism) with aspirations of being in possesion of more coloured/printed paper which carry on them a promise to be redeemed for gold.

Look at the money in your hand. It is what you went to school for, and what you are taking all these exams for. On it says "A promise to pay on demand". You kill, steal, torture yourself all for a promise from a group of foreign bankers. Is this what life is about? .......coolio 

i think we need a revamp of the entire educational system. So we dont keep producing what we cant use, wont use, and dont need.
