This is a simple reaction test. I scored in the middle of the bell curve. Try it.

multiple intelligences.

NBA athletes control every action they make with their brains.

In that sense they are clearly brilliant.

I scored 372 with a 60 pound bulldog in my lap, trying to kiss me.

My IQ went down after taking the test the first time. My first score was 398.8, the second was 339.2. I wonder how much that shortened my life?

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the
 dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the
 brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though
 you can try to focus and change the direction; see if 
you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

I’m at work on my generic OEM HP mouse. I’ll try it again home with my razer death adder.

What if you can mentally stop it and make it go the other way?

Bingo. After a few clicks I got the bright idea to be about halfway to clicking, and I picked up 30 or 40 mS from that point on.

Ok, if this is supposed to be a test of IQ potential it is BS. I have always had a slow reaction time compared to others my age but I have a measured IQ of 141, taken many times over the years I always score a few points over or below 140, average 141. My reaction time on this test is 255, although my lowest was 218, that puts me at 110 on this chart. I am 71 years old, I probably would have scored better 40 years ago.

going to have to amend post 35, I took it again and scored a 213 average. Quite an improvement, I guess I wasn’t concentrating the first time around.

#145 on my Windows 7 side
#75 on Mac

(Mac Mini running parallels 8 with Windows 7...)

As much as I despise Macs (I know, I have one but it’s better than Windows 8 IMHO) it appears I’ll live much longer in a Mac environment than a Windows environment...

Hey Mods - it’s a joke!
