I'll come help you here Doc, just as soon as I put the finishing touches on this here manifesto...

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I haven't taken this test in ages, so I couldn't remember where I sat, but I just took it again and wound up with ISTJ. George Washington and Sean Connery!

Re: Meyers Briggs
Not an M-B test, but in a fit of writing avoidance, I took a Mensa exam online (those whacky fuckers, withholding the results unless I send them £20; I'll keep my money and buy some Charleston Chew, thank you very much). Anyway, there were two questions that I guessed at and am curious whether anyone here can give a confident response:
Which one of the numbers does not belong is the following series?
2
3
6
7
8
14
15
30
(I guessed 30 but for no good reason)
A fish has a head 9" long. The tail is equal to the size of the head plus one-half the size of the body. The body is the size of the head plus the tail." How long is the fish?
27"
54"
63"
72"
81"
I couldn't quite work out the math precisely, but the head is 9, the body is 9 + 9 + something, and the tail is 9 + something. So, minimum 36". I figured 54" was a reasonable guess.
edit: Fixed some typical language glitches in the last sentence.

Re: Meyers Briggs
The answer to the first question is 8. You add 1 to the previous number then double the previous number. 3 = 2 + 1 adds 1 to previous number, 6 = 3 x 2 the double the previous.Dr. Medulla wrote:Not an M-B test, but in a fit of writing avoidance, I took a Mensa exam online (those whacky fuckers, withholding the results unless I send them £20; I'll keep my money and buy some Charleston Chew, thank you very much).

The second answer is 6 ft. Or 72''.
The head is 9''
The tail is 18'' + 9'' = 27''
The body is 9'' + 18'' + 9'' = 36''
9 + 27 + 36 = 72''

Re: Meyers Briggs
I never got higher than a C in math at school, though I'm shocked it wasn't much lower. I think it's my frustration with the learning process there that feeds my current distaste for numbers.

My wife is a mathphobe, plain and simple. She sees numbers and panics. She's proof to me that IQ tests, which rely heavily on math, are bullshit, because she ain't dumb.Kory wrote:I never got higher than a C in math at school, though I'm shocked it wasn't much lower.
