I Am Not Tickled

I just spent an hour taking an IQ test on Tickle, (the time I spent should indicated that my IQ is like 3), who gave me the following result. Those who know me will spot the big fat lie in a blink. Consider:

Your test results indicate that the way you process information makes you a Complex Intellectual.

(Ok, that's true... wait, does "complex" = "me3a2ada" ?)

You are highly intelligent and talented in two critical areas: math and language. While others may be skilled at one, you are exceptional at both.

(COME again? I haven't been able to pass Statistics since 1999 and you're telling me I'm exceptional at it?)


Your ability to understand theoretical or abstract information and your attention to detail only make your mathematical and linguistic skills stronger. You are a highly conceptual, complex thinker.

Because of your numerous intellectual abilities, you probably rarely come across something you're not good at. You are a quick study and so have a tendency to look for and find the deeper meaning in things. You might intellectualize a situation or muse about its layers of complexity, making grand-scale associations. While others are relieved to have tangible, concrete information to work with, you may find yourself easily bored and so you seek more intellectual content.

(That's true enough, mayhap..)

Here's an example of your Complex Intellectual thinking skills at work in a real-life situation:

You go to a play with a bunch of friends. You recognize that some of the lines from the play are highly similar to a play you read a long time ago in school. Not only that, but you also notice that the play is structured in such a way that those types of lines occur in every other scene in the play. You are excited by your revelations and start explaining this to your friends. You want to go out for coffee and talk about what it all might mean, and whether the author intended it to be this way. Others might be more inclined to talk about the costumes or other more obvious elements of the play, and you shouldn't take this too personally. Your insights are definitely valuable, so don't stop sharing them — just be aware that you might occasionally receive some blank stares. Thank goodness you think the way you do!

(Well, I DO actually get blank stares most of the time. Like every day, hah. Just part of the job, I guess.)


My "intelligence" should be called into question now, seeing how I've been grading term papers and midterm exams all day, to the backdrop of the following horrid films:

1- The Pajama Game (Not as naughty as it sounds)

2- Calamity Jane (Doris Day as a tomboyish frontier-type)

3- Serendipity (The cuts that made it to film are fun, but the deleted scenes are hell on a plate)

4- Madrasat el Moshaghebeen (Best movie ever)

5- The Parent Trap (Maureen O'Hara is tres gorgeous)

6- The Bodyguard (Hopelessly corny, especially since 1- they had to have dubbed in every single line of dialogue on earth, and 2- the anti-social nature of the allegedly interracial/inter-tax-bracket relationship is diluted when the shades of Whitney Houston's and Kevin Costner's skin are so similar that if you put your eyes out of focus while they're dancing in the redneck bar, they look like siblings.

It must be said that they did a brill job of casting the ex-colleague in the State Service who kept asking KC if it's good money, the sister, the white-haired scarathon, and the delectable Gary Kemp, ex-Spandau Ballet, who plays the PR houligan.

Best line? Red-haired terror to Kevin Costner: "I've been watching you all night from across the room.." Kevin C. to the jade-earringed terror: Well, why don't you go back across the room and keep watching?")
