Testing, testing. My arm is improving, thanks to a brilliant physioterapist whom I saw for the first time this week. So now just a little post to excercise my muscles. And a post about testing as well. Torill links to a personality test based on colours. I did the "for fun" Mensa-test the other day and failed miserably. I'd like to think it's because I have not had any reason to practice my math-skills since first year of high-school and because it's targeted for an native English-language speaking audience, but I'm afraid it is not the entire explaination ;). [However, it makes you think that the test you have to take to be accepted as member of the Danish MENSA-club consists solely of figure sorting]. Well, whatever you think of these tests, I found much truth in the Danish article which spurred my visit to the website: "Hvor er mit rumskib" (Where is my spaceship) - it discusses some of the problems, emotional and social, which highly intelligent children (and grown-ups) often have to face. Frankly, on a minor scale, I recognise some of them from my own childhood, such as "using one's own intelligence to play less intelligent" to be socially accepted...I'm sure there are more people outthere than you would think with similiar memories??
