That is pretty good. I will retry it. I guess by trainning one can improve it a little bit, but not that much. Otherwise, it would not mean anything.

Gee, Zeke, I for one hope you stick around. I've gotten good info and interesting perspective from you in your posts.
Maybe an amusing anecdote regarding intelligence and success would help? A general contractor finds his business growing and a need for more help. He decides to promote from within, taking one of his five or six best carpenters and advancing him to foreman. But which one? The contractor arranges a 6 X 6 on a pair of saw horses and summons the men. "I want each of you to take a 16d nail from your aprons, and drive it, head first, into this piece of lumber." Now, a couple fellows gave their boss a puzzled look, and a few others stepped away from the horses and began to protest and question the contractor's instruction. But the contractor looked past them, and fixed his eye on his new foreman, who was diligently doing exactly what was asked of him; driving a nail, head first, into the wood. Ed |

I did both standard battery of tests when young (my mother is psychologist) and standard Mensa test. (both went pretty well
 )Mensa-test was/is a joke...I can't see how they can measure intelligence with one one test (Raven's matrix), that has been around for ages. I see Mesna as club for people who are really good at solving ubiquous Raven's matrix.

You 911 guys can be pretty brutal. Thanks for making the start of my day that much gloomier.

I took an IQ test once...they said they had never seen anything like me before....I was unique....I don't think they fully appreciated my imaginative approach to problem solving...I whittled the square pegs into round ones so that they would fit in the holes on the board. Also the coin flipping didn't seem to go over real well with them either....

Didn't Captain Kirk take the same approach to solving that un-solvable computer simulation? (he reprogrammed the computer, if I remember correctly... it's been about 10 years since I watched any of those movies)

My dog told me yesterday that I was an imbecile....ever since she got into that stash of Magic Mushrooms she's been staring at herself in the mirror and quoting Nietzsche....always yapping about the Superdog...she's really becoming insufferable. I even had to cut up her credit cards...it seems that she bought a diamond studded dog collar from Tiffany's...the only way I found out about it was that the cat started complaing that she wanted one too.

You've never met my dog. Pure bred Jack Russel Terrier, I'm not sure but I think as puppy she trained me instead of the other way 'round.
