Textual Reflexions

5 o’clock in the night and I am still here wasting my time on my computer.

While looking for a linux PDA I encountered a link to an IQ test and did it. I don’t think the numerical results are important, they are usually pushed over the threshold of 100 in order to make people buy the test. It was for me a delusion but I can bring to my defense the late hour and the speed at which I took the test and the fact that I don’t have good linguistical skills in the English language.

But, as I already said it’s not that important. The fact that touched me and exorted me to post this first blog was the interpretation: I am a professional mathematician without quite any philosophical skill, but the resulting profile was the following.

Citation from the results of an IQ test on www.tickle.com:

During the test, you answered four different types of questions–mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We analyzed how you did on each of those questions which reveals how your brain uniquely works.

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test. According to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a 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.
