Insightful Linguist speaks

Posted by tom | Feb 23, 2007

Did your family ever fall for something like an on-line IQ test with related spam and purchasing opportunities? Well at least I (Tom) found my true self, w/129 points I'm an Insightful Linguist, i.e., highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. These skills contribute to my creative and expressive mind.

And it's good to have married a Visionary Philosopher such as Theresa. Being highly intelligent and w/a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a variety of different ways, her Plato-like exceptional math and verbal skills, which make her very adept at explaining things to others — and at anticipating and predicting patterns provide vision and direction to our family (and our housing project).

Due to our high intelligence and strong self-understanding, we decided not to make a further investment of $12.95 in this exercise, not even tempted by the superIQ test . . .  Hayley and Ellen just came off the bus, so onto the pursuit of vision, knowledge, and artistry as a family Wink

    I think a number of people would disagree with my ability to explain things to others...

    I also wonder about the "visionary" and the "philosopher" part. I wouldn't associate either of those terms with myself.

    140: 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.

    ooh - since I am a "top scorer" they emailed me today saying, ok - so you didn't go for our advertisements and gimmicks to get you to buy the complete report, so now we'll give it to you for free, if you can manage to click "no, I don't want whatever you are advertising, even if it is free" about twenty times.
    They show which questions I got wrong, which is mostly all I care about. One of the questions I got wrong has images in it, so it is harder to post here. The other one was this one:

    If some Wicks are Slicks, and some Slicks are Snicks, then some Wicks are definitely Snicks. The statement is: True, False, Neither.

    I didn't think about it long enough.

    I did think that they should have cared about time during this test, since some of them took me very little time to figure out, and others took a much longer time, and I think a smarter person would have gotten the questions faster.

    Fun test though.

    All sorts of fun facts in the report as well:

    Robert Jordan, an applicant to the New Haven, CT police force sued the department in 1997 after he was refused entry on grounds that his IQ test score was "too high." A spokesperson for the police department was quoted as saying people with too high of an IQ "tire of police work and leave not long after undergoing costly academy training."

    Also, average IQ (measuring people who took the test on Tickle's web site) broken out by state. The average only ranges from 110 to 115. Mississippi and West Virginia scored the lowest, and the District of Columbia scored the highest.

    Because of the way you process information, these are just some of the many careers in which you could excel:
    * Archaeologist
    * Detective
    * Psychologist
    * Sculptor
    * Architect
    * City planner
    * Chief executive

    I guess I missed out...
