geez... i will be here all day doing all that... eek could you make some kind of survery yourself. this is only a forum

Is that a checklist....or is there some sort of scale?

I tried to post a response to this one, but my internet kicked out before I finished. Right now I am too irritated to start over. Maybe later. Grrrrr.

Bugger it - I'm bored, so....

General intelligence - massive! (IQ 156 or 162 depending on whichever of the online tests I did that you want to believe)

Memory (short-term and long-term) - short-term appalling. long-term brilliant.

Vocabulary - massive.

Spelling - great

Attention span and ability to maintain focus with distractions present - sorry, what did you say? I was miles away......

Creativity - very.

Theory of Mind - not great.....

Ability to parse complex sentences - superb

Computer programming ability - absolutely brilliant

Mathematics - top hole!

Literary or artistic analysis - books and paintings bore me, so probably no.....

Engineering (i.e., analyzing mechanical, information, and other systems and designing such systems) - OK I suppose.....

Range of emotion/Emotional expressiveness - Mainly negative ones.....

Level/Appropriateness of emotional reactivity to events - over the top and extreme generally.....

Use of positive thinking - Not me, no......

Will power/Impulse control/Self-motivation - limited in the extreme.....

Empathy (i.e., literally experiencing an emotional state as someone else would feel it) - Zero, zilch, nada.

Moral judgment (sensitivity to the particular facts of the individuals affected and the situation as a whole, awareness of social norms and what role they should be accorded in a situation, and personal code of ethics) - very strong.

Coordination - nope, got none of that.

Balance - not good

Handwriting - terrible

Reaction time to sudden events (e.g., a ball thrown towards you) - rubbish

Visual (Sight) - good

Tactile (Touch) - OK I think....

Gustatory (Taste) - OK I think....

Olfactory (Smell) - I sense a pattern developing here.....

Auditory (Hearing) - sorry, what did you say again?

Temperature (Heat/Cold) - better with overt heat than t'other way around

Coordinating colors in designs, clothing, etc. - nope, none of that for me....

Composing a drawing or painting - great

Appreciation for fine art and/or nature - errrmmmm..... pass....

Appreciation for foreign culture - good

Appreciation for good food - Moderate....

Sensuality (i.e., level of emotional/passionate reaction to an aromatic smell, appealing work of art or plate of food, attractive member of the opposite sex or the same sex if that is the case, etc.) - Hey, baby.....

Favorite genres of music and favorite bands/singers/performers - Bit of 60s, fair chunk of 70s, lot of 80s, some 90s, fair bit of noughties - can't be bothered with a list, sorry.....

Acting ability - fantastic!

Time to run one mile or one kilometer - In hours or days?

Speed - I was quick for a big 'un at school.....

Strength - Quite high now that I've been working out regularly the last year.

Endurance - so, so

Stamina - I sense a subtext in why someone would want to know about my endurance, stamina and sensuality..... Do you want to tell me something?

Throwing, kicking, bowling, pitching, or shooting accuracy - appalling

Team coordination - There's no 'me' in any team.....

Ability to overcome pain - reasonably good

Sports played - none

Eye contact - unnatural, but I do it (badly)

Use of body language - not good

Tone of voice - either loud and piercing or low and monotonal depending on situation

Facial expression - forced, not natural

Rhythm of conversation (speak and respond, not talking at someone or only listening) None of the above.....

Attentive listening cues (e.g., nodding, short vocal affirmations, facial reactions) - yes, but all affected, not natural.

Balancing one's own needs and wants with the needs and wants of others - pah!

Leadership (i.e., directing a group towards a goal) - not me, matey....

Cooperation (i.e., working with others to achieve a collective goal) - mwah, ha, ha!

Romantic/Flirting/Courtship - none.....

I don't have time to write in depth, so I wil keep it simple.

My cognitive, analytical, emotional, sense and artistic abilities are good. My social abilities could need some work. However, my motor and physical skills are terrible.
