What a difference a task makes ?

Post Reply New Topic

Yesterday morning it took me over 30 minutes to fix the lid back on to my bin in the kitchen. Definitely dumbsville . Later on yesterday tried the 'Beat the Wonderlic' practice test and scored 40/50. Definitely not dumbsville .


How I do is very task dependent . Fluctuations in functioning can and do occur .

Sometimes this is the difference between theoretical and applied knowledge. It is like the difference between physics and engineering. It may even have to do with dexterity, executive functioning, proprioception, and vestibular functioning.

For example, one of the common phrases that are sometimes used - "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart".

I'm definitely not street smart . Dexterity- below average,executive functioning- below average , proprioception-? , vestibular- balance isn't good .
