| Rocking feels refreshing to me, when I need it. Though, I don't do it much...and prefer where I'm sitting to not make noise as I move. |

| Some of my skills are not close to the same level which throws some professionals off...I still live with my mom and was barely able to complete mainstream high school (without special education or an aide). |

Arevelion, yes there is.
Performance seems to test how you might use critical thinking skills, visual-spatial skills and logic to solve problems. This seems to show up when for me when having to adapt to new situations and I'm not sure what to do, as it is beyond what I know or am familiar with. |
