I spent the day in a neuroscience unit doing IQ tests. Not due to any staggering genius on my part; it's more because my brain's been radiated and they want to figure out what that does to a person 30 years on.
Did great with the vocabulary and reading comprehension and the puzzle-solving. She said I got further on the list of words to define than anyone. She gave me a board of different keys and about 50 different keyholes to fit them into in x amount of time, and I pretty much owned that one so I was feeling pretty good.
And then she gave me some pansy math I hadn't done since elementary school and I felt like a total idiot
Remember all of that stuff that you think would never be relevant again? Well, I found out where it's relevant...and when you have 10 minutes to solve a page full of problems in 10 point font
Weird how you can do great in college math and then be stumped by fourth grade stuff
