Your brain: 180% interpersonal, 80% visual, 80% verbal, and 60% mathematical!

Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious: Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on interpersonal You scored higher than 70% on visual You scored higher than 77% on verbal You scored higher than 62% on mathematical

Does this surprise anyone? No? Didn't think so.

I sometimes see the funniest stuff in peoples' charts. I have no idea who these people are, so I'm not breaking any privacy. I should know, I had to do this long-ass thing about HIPAA on the computer that made me want to jab out my eyeballs or fall asleep from boredom. It also complained that I was going through it too quickly, even though I was actually reading it! Anyway....

I was putting loose papers in the chart of an older gentlemen when something caught my eye. On the front of one side, there's a page for chronic conditions and long-term medications. This one was relatively sparse, but at the bottom was written: "bagpipes in the past." Now, knowing the doctor, he was making a note to himself that this patient played the bagpipes when he was younger (why he'd need to make a note of that is a different question). But I got this idea of bagpipes as a disease--"Yes, in his earlier years, this poor man suffered from....bagpipes." No! Say it ain't so!!

I'm still giggling.

The other one that made me laugh was about a week ago. I was putting in a slip for a telephone call, and apparently the MA had copied down exactly what the patient had told her. So the first words on the slip were "feet on fire." Not, "feet have an uncomfortable sensation of heat," or "feet feel hot." But, her feet are on fire. Good god woman, put them in some water, don't go making phone calls!

On a completely different and probably already beaten to death subject, I took the short-acting Adderall today in the afternoon. Yeay, it's so nice to feel like I actually have my brain even after I come home from work. Matter of fact, now that I know I can tolerate the short-acting stuff (I couldn't when I was, I dunno, 18), it would be cheaper to take three of these a day than to take one of the longer-acting ones. And I'd be good all damn day. I'm going to take a day and try that, actually--taking three of the short-acting. Because goddamn, that would save me some money.

EDIT: And how amusing is it, that like so many other ADDer's, I have no problem sleeping while on my meds. I remember coming home and thinking, "man, I could really use a nap." I lay down for a minute and almost fell asleep until I remembered my laundry. Apparently I have adapted to a semi-steady level of amphetamines.
