Larc,
just curious...do these examinees know before they arrive they will be given a test?
Do the connotations inferred from the word 'test' affect the results?

the world of psychological testing is a fascinating place, so i thought i would share part of my story with you.. when i was in graduate school, one of my professors asked me if i would like to work in his private practice administering psychological tests.
of course, i was excited at the chance of having this opportunity.
well, the first day on the job was unusual.

my personal hell has started since i told my wife i was stepping down and why i was doing so.
she has barely said 2 sentences to me in the last 24 hours, but i can understand her being upset so i'm trying my best to remain patient.. yesterday afternoon i told my cousin who is also one of my closest friends about my decision.
we ended up talking about it for more than 4 hours.
ROFL Farkel!
How about the scripture where Jesus' followers don't wash before eating?
Once I was pulled aside after a talk(now, mind you, I was only about 12 years old) and counseled because my pants were wrinkled.
It wasn't encouragement, it was an order:
'Don't get up on stage looking like that!'
Oh, and much worse, once I became an MS a certain other elder had it in for me, but I'll share that some other time.

i'm pretty sure this question has probably been asked before but i'd like to put it out here and see what the responses are.
my doubts about the bible probably began maybe 6 or 7 years ago, they were very small ones however and i managed to supress them for quite a while.
however certain events in my life would make those events resurface.
God, the Bible, and Religion are a pagan trinity!

Hey Six,
you were the skinhead guy with the greyish brown shirt...back to the camera when the director was saying "He's dead"...you also walked by the camera when the director is being interviewed.
Very cool.

edited because at first I mistook this thread for one of COMFs.

a question in a post and by an e-mail was sent to me regarding my "live and let live" life style that i attributed to myself, and something i live by.. to clear that up, i take each person i come in contact on an individual bases.. however, should such a person or organization come in to my area, punch my sister in the eye...then proceed to come to me and punch me in the eye.
"live and let live" pretty much goes out the window at that point.
that's a situation of "direct attack", and i just don't turn my cheek with that.. there are a few people on this board that i'm willing to discuss the situation that had happened to me this past friday.
...oh I see, D8TA...it makes more sense now.
I didn't think you were necessarily talking about your children but it seemed like you were talking about little kids. Dunno why.
So you had to get a little physical, eh?
Good for you.

D8TA,
You've got a good point about not "raising" your voice at your children. It suffices to pick them up and take them away from what ever they were doing if the situation is that serious.
Most parents get frustrated because they don't understand that, sooner or later, you must teach your kids reasoning skills.

this morning as i was running a few errands with my daughter, i stopped in at a seattle's best coffee shop.
there were a couple of sisters sitting in the corner pretending they didn't see me.
after i got my coffee and a cookie for my daughter, a couple more dubs came in, both pretending they didn't recognize me.
How come I never see JWs in my neighborhood? Not fair!
I wanna live forever too!
Maybe I will pray that they send their truth to me.
Please don't interfere with their vital lifesaving work, Princess!

i have a question that hopefully some of you can help answer for me.
over the past couple years i have become very close friends with a jw.
he is an awesome friend, and an awesome person.
I always had "wordly" friends when I was growing up. I didn't start spending quality time with them until high school, unfortunately.
If your friend is an intelligent one, he will not give you grief or try to force you to convert so that he can 'have your friendship'.
It was easy for me to see that many of my schoolmates, besides being talented individuals, were better 'associates' than the JW youth.

never mind i.q.s, here is a link to an intelligence quiz that ought challenge some, while i expect some of us 'postates to ace it.
hint: it relies on common sense a lot.. i scored 10 out of 11 myself and kick myself for missing the one i did.
some may have already seen this, but don't spoil it for the current dubs that i expect to fail it miserably.
Here's what it said for me:
You GOT a score of 11 out of 11
You rating: Only 3 people have ever scored this high
This is based on the Simon Evans score rating system
answers below
Okay, why does it say 'you rating:'? That makes no sense.
And how is it that only 3 people have scored perfect?
