Well today I have been unusually brave. I clicked on a link from the Wikipedia IQ Test page and did the (non-verbal) test in its entirety.
It gave me a result of 131, which allegedly puts me "at Mensa level", 2% of population. There were 60 questions, I answered 58 correctly. One of my 2 errors was on the FIRST question - which is unbelievably stupid of me since the questions grow in complexity. I.e. it was the easiest. How silly is that? I could have been a genius today - but I'm just too dumb! Fittingly.
Still, it is comforting, it was a risk worth taking. Well done me.
See? Action. Boldness pays.
Maybe this is a new start. I am going to be emboldened by my new-found cleverness and start achieving things. Well today wasn't as dull as I anticipated in the end: I started a blog and found on the back of some dodgy test on t'internet that I am a dumbed down near-genius.
Actually this may well all be bollocks because of the so-called Flynn Effect...
I often find that the outcome of some action is the one I hadn't thought of. For this and other reasons I tend not to think in the longer term and not make advance planning of virtually anything. A Winner (i.e. somebody with the mind of a winner - I know some) would tell me to grab my life and make things happen. And I want to do that, move on from being pretty much a pure fatalist. But I haven't found the will yet. It's like I need to catch up with the present before trying to overtake it.
