 These days many websites exist that rank colleges, supposedly to help applicants find a college that not only suits their taste, but also provide them the best quality education possible. However, how do you know if should believe them or not? Do these college rankings hold any water, or are they merely college ads disguised in the form of ranking?

Before enrolling in any college that ranks really well, make sure that the website listing the rankings is indeed to be trusted. You can do this simply by going straight to reputable sources. Do not trust mere blog posts that list their favorite colleges. Instead, go to websites of reputable ranking bodies like US News and World Report. It is all right to be wary because the internet really is filled with sites posing to be reputable, when in fact they just want to cash in on ads. Worse, there are also a good number of sites that list the “best colleges” when in fact they belong to affiliate programs and espouse the private colleges that pay them.

If, however, you do come across a good site that has a section on college rankings, do not automatically dismiss those rankings as false. Still, you should double check the information and make a decision only when you see several reputable sources agreeing with their assessment about a certain college.

In addition to that, you should also remember that there are other factors to consider aside from college rankings. Do not be too dependent on rankings to the point of neglecting other equally important factors.

Most job hunters are content to putting their whole life in that resume just so that the recruiter will see how intelligent, lovable, and deep they are. Unfortunately, there are something you should put in there and then there are some that you shouldn’t. Here are just a few.

Too-personal information:

  • Age
  • Marital Status
  • Ethnicity
  • Weight
  • Number of kids

Why place this information there in the first place? The recruiter isn’t going to ask you about this topic anyway (against the law).

Topics to throw out:

  • Objective
  • Salary History
  • Job description articles

Besides being useless to the recruiter, this type of information just adds more mass to your resume making it unreadable.

The Sage: The Power to Simplify
“Sages use the power of simplification as the primary means to inspiration. They reduce problems to their essence and in the process create an ingenious idea. Simplicity is their credo. Also, Sages look to history as a source of creative insight. They honor the past and find insights in what has happened before. One of the fathers of American photography, Alfred Stieglitz, was a master Sage. Enchanted with Dutch painter Jan Vermeer, who painted some three hundred years earlier, Stieglitz drew inspiration from Vermeer’s style and created entirely new photographs based on the lessons he gleaned from Vermeer compositions.” (Wellman 11)

The Conclusion

Now you have seen an overview of the Five Faces of Genius. Have you found out which Face you are? If you have placed yourself as one of the Faces, don’t feel so bad of the awareness that you have weaknesses. After all, Wellman states in her book that “your goal is to master all Five Faces of Genius”. Sounds impossible? Not really, for the Face you have is not the entire you, it’s just what is dominant in you. Try to be each Face in some little ways and later on, you will find yourself to be the multi-faced Genius whose success style is flawless.

The Fool: The Power to Celebrate Weakness
“The most complex Face, the Fool celebrates weakness. Fools practice three related skills: excelling at inversion, seeing the sense in absurdity, and having unending perseverance. The Fool scientist Roy Plunkett was trying to come up with a new configuration of a chlorofluorocarbon. He accidentally set a can of the chemical on the laboratory radiator. When he found it in the morning, the chlorofluorocarbon had polymerized and created a hard resistant surface on the bottom of the can. Instead of throwing it away and calling it a failure, he analyzed the accident. This mishap was the birth of a new product called Teflon. For the Fool, invention happens through redeeming weakness.” (Wellman 11)

The Alchemist: The Power to Connect Domains

“Alchemists bring together separate domains – different ideas, disciplines, or systems of thought – and connect them in a unique way to develop breakthrough ideas. The Alchemists’ insights come from borrowing or even stealing ideas. They are motivated to invent by a broad range of interests, and they lead lives that connect work and play. The architect Frank Lloyd Wright created the most original buildings in the history of American architecture by using the techniques of the Alchemist. His genius was in marrying the design of the building with the nature of its site. With their seamless integration, he created a breakthrough.” (Wellman 11)
