HAY GAIZ, guess who's getting her ADD and IQ retested? 8Db G-guess who is also doing better than she did last time, to the surprise of herself? 99.9th percentile, uh. W-wow. My analytical problem solving abilities have increased, though my ability to do mindless repetitive tasks has gone down. (I know, big loss, huh?) I'm also no longer below average in any category (hooray!), though I apparently must learn to accept that I have "slow handwriting" :/ ...My psychologist also says that I could probably get into MENSA. Uh. I. W-what? My psychologist is glad, because the results will prove to any doubters that I am smart, I just suck at doing homework. I'm just kinda gloating inside over the results. Now watch as I post this and end up average with the rest of my f'list ¦D;

Currently working diligently on family's Christmas card and my own holiday card (sign-up post here, for anyone who's missed it :Db). Except by currently I mean "at times today". I still vow to have them done by the time we really need to get them sent out, if for no other reason than my parents are paying me money to make the family card 8Dbbb

Caught Tin Man last night. Was quite charmed. I expect someone to be apping DG for CFUD in the near future, or I shall be saddened. Plan to leave the lab (slightly) early tonight so I can catch the second showing of today's episode.

Hoping to at least express my desire to adopt pet rats at the Kirkwood tech department tomorrow. With any luck, I'll arrange to take two home with me. If things don't work out there though, I'll either have to ask ratties if there are breeders in the area, or return to the dreaded pet store.

And I am tired now, so I think I'll just stop typing.

MENSA O_______________________O

I missed the Tin Man? DX Damn I really wanted to see it

[polysamachan.livejournal.com]

...o Mensa. They're...interesting people. |D

[ytak.livejournal.com]

Mensa, eh? To use a completely dorky statement, they are the otaku of the geeks. Or something like that. XDDDD And, yes, I'm being silly.

[samcurt.livejournal.com]

...I won't say by normal distribution I've got to that degree, but then by the last 15 years my IQ has raised by 10 points-- both official, professionally supervised tests.

[samcurt.livejournal.com]

Hajime?

Now watch as I post this and end up average with the rest of my f'list ¦D;


Oi. I purposefully sabotaged myself to be this nifty average, okay?

Although now that I'm breaking out of that habit, I'm really wondering how smart I am. L-le sigh.

[ytak.livejournal.com]

Hajime Kindaichi? Yeah, I've wondered if he could be in it.

And if he were in it, why not Kaito? Kaito is supposed to have a high IQ.

[samcurt.livejournal.com]

But there's no "Kaitou Kid version" for Hajime Kindaichi.

[ytak.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I was jumping between series there. I remembered that Kid is supposed to have a high IQ.

[soc_puppet]

Well. That's what she said, at any rate. She also lamented that she didn't have the IQ/ADD tests for "geniuses".

Apparently DD: They're running the second episode again tonight at, uh, seven eastern, and then the third, if that helps at all? And there's always illegal stuffs.

[soc_puppet]

I've never been. That, or I'm unaware that I've been. Can I demand anecdotes?

Also, Kermit ♥

[polysamachan.livejournal.com]

Mmm. A lot of really smart people I've met won't join, and a lot of the smart people I know who have aren't very nice. I'm pretty sure that I could join, even, but I feel no inclination to. I guess...it's less of a smart person's club and more of a I'm-a-smart-person club, if you get my drift. They're not bad or anything! Just a little pointless. OF COURSE, this is only my limited exposure. I could be entirely wrong. (And if you like the idea of joining the club just so you can say you're part of Mensa, that's really a fine reason. |D)

<3333 Isn't he sweet~~?

[soc_puppet]

XD T-that should about cover it, yes. No need to disclaim that here ;)

[soc_puppet]

Thaaaat sounds like the kind of club/organization where I'd be more happy to say I wouldn't join it, but could.

He is awesome. *has been listening to It's Not Easy Being Green on CD lately and completely fallen in love all over again, could you tell?*

[soc_puppet]

Now that's something; see if you can't keep it up, or make it exponential X3

[notjustacar.livejournal.com]

Yeaaah, that's what I do, too. Though I should really get retested. I gots a nearly perfect score on one of the IQ tests several years ago, but I might have gotten dumber. orz I-I blame Heroes.

Rainbow Connection makes me cry EVERY TIME. Because Jim Henson died the day I was born. And. And. ;m;

[soc_puppet]

Well. My answer would be "Pretty damn smart", as we can have intelligent conversation (always a plus), but that's not as fun as toting around a number, so. I guess you'll have to find out?

[soc_puppet]

I, uh. Did get a perfect score on one of the testing parts this round. And I still remember the twelve "random" words they had me repeat back to test my memory from what, five years ago? Six? Y-yeah. It's how I found out they recycle the words X3 Well, it sounds to me like, even if you did get a little dumber, you'd still be on the smarter end of the bell curve ;)

He made the world a better place in many ways, and we can only hope to carry on his work. Also, people who don't like the Muppets in this day and age are criminal. [/bias]

[notjustacar.livejournal.com]

Yup! I've met people who've done that before. (And I know I got a perfect score on at least the spatial part, maybe more. I only missed a point or two off the entire test. Dang it! If I scored the highest on spatial, why can't I draw? So not fair.) Honestly, though, by comparing and contrasting those people (I went to a gifted school, so I met a few of them), I've come to the conclusion that IQ is really not all there is to intelligence. For example, my grandfather got a perfect score on an IQ test, but he was one of the dumber men I've ever met, and he completely ruined his life through really bad, ill-informed choices. IQ tests test a certain sort of 'intelligence', but ignore a lot of other things that factor into it, too. And there are the multiple intelligences to think about, too... And the emotional intelligences! ^^'' I think I'm a little jaded when it comes to intelligence testing. I think that a lot of really smart people are being passed over, just because they don't have the same sort of intelligence that the test-makers do.

ahahaha. but I'll get off of my soapbox.


It's trueee. I didn't like some of the cameos, but the characters themselves were awesometastic and socute. I used to play the Muppets computer game all the time when I was tiny.

[soc_puppet]

I keep wanting to turn those words into a theme set for something X3 (Uh. Needs moar practice? *shrug*) So true. I've got a grandpa like that of my own; helped a lot of early computer developments, but is, I am now realizing, something of a jerk. Also, cutting the power when the Grand Whatsit is about to to speak during a KKK meeting and then running like hell is not generally something I consider smart. ...Well, the running part, yes. The cutting the power part, no.

We just don't have a very good understanding of alternate intelligences at all, IMHO :/ Which is something a lot of people are probably working to change, but with everything going on in the world, research grants are already spread pretty thin. *sigh*


I used to watch Muppet Treasure Island so often I could speak the lines with the cast. Kermit is my hero. We didn't have the Muppets computer game, I don't think D:

[samcurt.livejournal.com]

Hm, medicated or not?

[soc_puppet]

Medicated; I'm on 80mg of Strattera (generic) and 60mg of Prozac (generic). Come to think of it, that probably made a big difference.
