Much More Scientific

You have:
77% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and
47% EMOTIONAL INTUITION
The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored about average on emotional intuition and well above average on scientific intuition.Keep
in mind that very few people score high on both! In effect, you can
compare your two intuition scores with each other to learn what kind of
intuition you’re best at. Your scientific intuition is stronger than
your emotional intuition.
Your Emotional Intuition
score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their
unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates
social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you’re good
at Quake.

Your Scientific Intuition
score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well
you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with
high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the
sciences.


My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 99% on Scientific
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 0% on Interpersonal

Big Breakfast

August 18th 2005 Posted to Ratzi

I came home from work today to find Ratzi’s food bowl still pretty full. Normally, it’s nearly empty, but today I wasn’t surprised. Matt called me at not quite 7:30 this morning to inform me that our beast had eaten the Betta fish for breakfast. Needless to say, he didn’t get a treat today.

RIP Newton.

Update: The cat did not, in fact, eat the fish. Somehow, the fish managed to travel across the room & hide in the corner behind my garbage can. It became Fish Jerky overnight and has been disposed of. Poor little fish.
