I finally read Carolyn’s blog and saw that she actually updated it. She had taken some of those “online tests” so I decided to take some myself. The first was a sort of an IQ test. Not quite accurate, but kind of tells me that I don’t know as much as I thought. I think genius means you got all four right and they weren’t exactly hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Quick and Dirty IQ Test<\/a><\/div>\n

See how I only got “exceptional” in general knowledge? Means I didn’t know something simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Slow and Steady<\/b><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/center>Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. <\/p>\n

They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder.<\/p>\n

It’d really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment.<\/p>\n

They expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it.<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nHow Do People See You?<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

This demonstrates the accuracy of the tests, or demonstrates how I don’t answer truthfully. I suppose I don’t do a lot of things impulsively except tell people when I think they’re being idiots. And, come to think of it, it’s not impulsive, it builds up and I really ought to keep my fat trap shut but, of course, I don’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The True You<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

You want your girlfriend or boyfriend to dress well and take care of him \/ herself.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
With respect to money, you spend carefully and save your pennies.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You think good luck might come your way, but if it does you’ll be so surprised you’ll burst out laughing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
The hidden side of your personality tends to be satisfied to care for things with a minimal amount of effort.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
You are the type of person who assumes that the world revolves around yourself.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When it comes to finding a romantic partner, you base your search on information from your friends.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
Who’s the True You?<\/a><\/div>\n

I really have no analysis for this last bit. At least it’s general enough to say, “Oh, yeah, I can see that.”<\/p>\n

Today we went to the building where we could be relocating our office. It’s mostly sure we’re moving, but since I work for a small start-up, things are never completely certain. The space is much smaller, it’s further from downtown, and next to a place I used to work<\/a>. Sounds like the last of the workers from back then was just let go, so it’s just the owners and new people now. They’re still doing OK and are even expanding their customer base. Good for them. More proof that life goes on without me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
