Our minds are truly strange and wonderful things…
The top pieces are sort of a joke, but the bottom three are not.

This is NOT a joke. If you were able to pass these 3 tests, you can cancel your annual visit to your neurologist. Your brain is great and you’re far from having a close relationship with Alzheimers…

I passed. Are you sure that means that I’m NOT crazy?
I feel better. Now if I can find the silver lining in the cloud.
Easy.
LL- THAT is still open for discussion according to my Paramedic daughter 🙂
Jess- Yep!
Mikael- Good! 🙂
Awesome!
Interesting . . . . does this mean I really do understand what my wife tells me???? If so, I gotta make sure she’s never reads this post, been gettin’ by on the idea I’m just becoming an old fart . . . .
That ability is a function of whole word reading which is only possible after you’ve learned to read proficiently..which is best done phonetically – unfortunately we have a generation of iliterates because the educational elites thought kids could be taught whole word reading from the get go istead of phonetics…see Jerry Pournelle for more on this…
Very interesting. Still crazy, just not demented yet 😉
I do it by relaxing and letting my eyes unfocus a little – the letters/numbers pop right out then.
Funny, I seem to qualify as having one of the higher-rated minds on that particular scale. I’ve always been impatient with the “L337-speak” stuff. My proof reading skills are strained by the fact that spelling only needs to be vaguely approximate for me to make sense of it.
As a child, I spent a LOT of effort learning how to spell correctly and write clearly. Now it’s permissible to just throw characters onto a page or screen, and people accept it.
Couldn’t find the “N”.Guess it is time to call the assisted living facility.
I frequently type the way those messages are written, and have to go back & correct for my dyslexia. Now they’re saying I shouldn’t bother.
Who kenw?
The kerning on the N gave it away.
I liked that. Find the N was difficult but the rest were easy. I guess my blog rants really do keep my mental muscles in shape!
V3RY EN7ER7A1N1N6!
I passed…but I forgot what I passed.
Agirl- 🙂
eia- It does, kinda sorta… 😛
Differ- Concur and excellent point!
Jenn- Smartass! 😀
PH- Yep, that works well.
JPG- Another excellent point!
WSF- It’s there… 🙂
Rev- That CAN be a challenge for dyslexics, as they DON’T see simple errors.
Crucis- Yep, that was the only one that too work.
Anne- Thank you! 🙂
CP- 😛 Not MY problem…
I have heard that coffee may prevent Alzheimer’s, I am giving my cup of java the credit for me passing this test!
Chantilly- I just do ‘my’ coffee via IV :-0
That was interesting but I didn’t think it was too hard. I’m not sure pattern recognition is the definition of higher intelligence though.
Still, very cool test.
Whew! I got all three but I’ve gotten to the age where CRS has taken serious hold so I’ve been worried.
Andy- Who knows…
Six- Um… what were we talking about???
