On my way down Fashion Lane the other weekend, I wandered pass Intelligent Street. It wasn’t intentional but I saw a particular institution conduction interesting tests. Having extra time on my hands, I thought it useful to take a look. Needless to say, I signed up for one.
By the end of the first test, I was on such an intellectual high, I decided on a second one. Yesterday, which was approximately a week later, I received a couple of letters in my mail – the results. Here’s what they say:
My Dominant Brain
I exhibit an even balance between left- and right- hemisphere dominance and a slight preference for visual over auditory processing. With a score this balanced, it is likely that I would have slightly different results each time I complete this self-assessment quiz.
I am a well-rounded person, distinctly individualistic and artistic, an active and multidimensional learner. At the same time, I am logical and disciplined, can operate well within an organization, and am sensitive towards others without losing objectivity. I am organized and goal-directed. Although a "thinking" individual, I "take in" entire situations readily and can act on intuition.
I sometimes tend to vacillate in learning styles. Learning might take me longer than someone of equal intellect, but I will tend to be more thorough and retain the material longer than those other individuals. I will alternate between logic and impulse. This vacillation will not normally be intentional or deliberate, so I may experience anxiety in situations where I am not certain which aspect of self will be called on.
With a slight preference for visual processing, I tend to be encompassing in perceptions, process along multidimensional paths and be active in attacking of situations or learning.
Overall, I should feel content with life and self. I am, perhaps, a little too critical of self -- and of others -- while maintaining an "openness" which tempers that tendency. Indecisiveness is a problem and creativity may not be in keeping with potential. Being a pragmatist, I downplay this aspect of self and focus on the more immediate, obvious and the more functional.
My Intelligence Quotient
My age adjusted IQ score is 135 while the average score is 100.
My Grade ** Gifted **
Anyone with a general IQ this high is considered gifted. I have the ability to think critically, conceptualize ideas and form my own conclusions. My ability to think in patterns and to produce order out of chaos enables me to handle complexities and see logic in everything. Needless to say I am self-aware of my abilities and have the brains for all known occupations. If I think of intelligence as the ability to adapt easily to new situations then I am at the top of the charts.
There you go. The minions and wannabes at the elite institution that hothouses “boys with a certain mystique and gumption” can eat your heart out. This village idiot hasn’t turn out too bad.
In addition, this one has the looks to go with the brain.
My friend from the sunny island set in the sea told me about an adventurous shopping trip the other day. Down at the local mall, famous for it’s collection of famous designer boutiques, there as a commotion and a horde of policemen and women in their sexy blues swept into the mall and paced the entire complex faster than Tyra Banks can get into her next outfit at a Victoria’s Secret show.
I have been told that a last would be made from any customer’s feet at the measuring session for a perfectly fitting pair just for one – think famous shot of Audrey Hepburn and Salvatore Ferragamo circa 1950s. But then again, I am wondering if Zegna’s master shoemaker is town. I understand that the boutique’s master tailor and shoemaker visits only once a year in December.
