Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.
Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

WARNING!!!! if you know me personally, you may read my diary, but if you do, you take the chance of hearing things you don't want to know, misunderstanding what I've written and being hurt by it. If you are unsure if it is ok to read, save yourself and me the grief and heartache, and ask first!!! Please note that this is a DIARY, ie my subjective feelings, hearsay, suppositions, and outpourings of ranting of the moment. It does not represent objective news, the whole of what I think of a topic or someone, or even a thought-out representation of any of the above. Keep that in mind. Thanks. * Here is a Diary Etiquette Read Me.
What's Your Classic IQ?
Ahhh, why am I here?
Cuz I just did this Tickle test and wanted to copy and paste my results somewhere so as not to lose it:
Congratulations, Wenchie!
Your IQ score is 136This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Visionary Philosopher. This means you are highly intelligent and have a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways. Like Plato, your exceptional math and verbal skills make you very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns. And that's just some of what we know about you from your IQ results.
Now I have absolutely no idea what that means. Is that good or bad. Hmm. Visionary Philosopher huh. Adept at explaining things to others? Well, little bean, others don't like to LISTEN, and they complain I AM ALWAYS RIGHT, which of course is not true. sheesh. Not at all. But most of the time if I am explaining it, it is cuz they are WRONG. How do I know? I just do. Ahhh. Well.
Gotta get back to work.
In the meantime you can check out this fabulous in-house (or exterior) fireplace that works with biofuel, and gives off only H2O and CO2 when burning. How cool is that? Don't need a chimney to the outside. Won't kill yourself. Clean and tidy. I bought a can of the gel yesterday when we were at the shop where they were selling the actual (whoa, expensive!!) fireplaces. Sheesh. They just have a base (stone, glass, metal) with a socket to drop the can of gel into, a glass "chimney" around it so you don't burn your little fingies inadvertently, and then there is sand or rocks or ceramic logs around to make it pretty. Well, dang. I can make up something just as nice without spending $800 I am sure. Take a lookey.
And then take a lookey at these scrumptious stuffed animals. Very artsy and cool!
Oh, moments later... I just read the "expanded results" which say:
Mathematical IntelligenceYour Mathematical Percentile
You scored in the 100th percentile on the mathematical intelligence scale.This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.Your mathematical intelligence score represents your combined ability to reason and calculate. You scored relatively high, which means you're probably the one your friends look to when splitting the lunch bill or calculating your waitresses' tip. You may or may not be known as a math whiz, but number crunching might come a little easier to you than it does others.
Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Your Visual-Spatial Percentile
You scored in the 100th percentile on the visual-spatial intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.The visual-spatial component of intelligence measures your ability to extract a visual pattern and from that envision what should come next in a sequence. Your score was relatively high, which could mean that you're the one navigating the map when you're on an outing with friends. You have, in some capacity, an ability to think in pictures. Maybe this strength comes out in subtle ways, like how you play chess or form metaphors.
Linguistic Intelligence
Your Linguistic Percentile
You scored in the 100th percentile on the linguistic intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.Linguistic abilities include reading, writing and communicating with words. Tickle's test measures knowledge of vocabulary, ease in completing word analogies and the ability to think critically about a statement based on its semantic structure. Your score was relatively high, which could mean you know your way around a bookstore and maybe like to bandy about the occasional 25-cent word to impress friends.
Logical Intelligence
Your Logical PercentileYou scored in the 90th percentile on the logical intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 80% - 90% of people who took the test and that 10% - 20% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.Tickle's logical intelligence questions assess your ability to think things through. The questions determine the extent to which you use reasoning and logic to determine the best solution to a problem. Your logic score was relatively high, which could mean that when the car breaks down, your friends look to you to help figure out not only what's wrong, but how to fix it and how you're going to get to the next gas station.
Mwahhaha, I got one wrong that I KNEW I didn't figure out and had guessed, but geesh, stupid mistakes. Like understanding the logic behind something, reading the words and going, mmm, "if some X is Y and some Y is Z, then an X is definitely Z"... well, we cannot know if it is or not. And then being stupid and checking "cannot tell" instead of "false" when it asks if the statement is true or false. Duh. Of course we cannot tell if the X is Z, but the statement that an X is definitely Z IS undeniably a false statement. Understood it, got the logic, and fucked up answering the question. Isn't that how it goes so often. And another math question I figured out for one randomly chosen scenario, but then thought, oh, there are time AND space variables, better check "it would depend" rather than "sofia would get there first", which WAS the result of my randomly chosen test. should have thought it out longer, cuz i did get the math right. Sigh.
These tests are as bad as school! Just can't get them all right, cuz you misread or guess when a little more mindwork would show the 1st answer is the always answer to the math variables. sheesh.
OK, well, enough time wasted. If you want to waste time too, go here: Tickle Classic IQ Test
cheers!
