My friends say it'll stop soon. But they're not real, I just don't understand why they won't listen. Mwahahahaha!

And my dear Mr. Tate, I think I might condemn all of us Capricorns by saying that, despite being able to read before anyone else I knew and scoring higher than 98% of the country in standardized testing on a regular basis my entire life in good Capricorn fashion, I am most widely known for my unprecedented ability to fall down (and up!) flights of stairs with almost no provocation.

I wonder if that actually is taken into account when calculating one's IQ.

Josh, I'm doing an experiment on the correlation between clumsyness and left handedness. You wouldn't happen to be left handed, would you?

left handed people do tend to think differently, I have noticed it. Isn't it weird that almost all my ex boyfriends were left-handed? And I don't think it's that they're clumsy, I think it's that the world is geared toward us righties. Have you ever watched a left-hnded person write? It's quite a chore for them.

OK, well I read a book on this.

Left handed people and women have more lateralized brains, while males and righties tend to have more specialized brains. Lateralized brains means that both the left and the right sides of the brain do the same tasks, and you wind up with a "two heads are better than one" affect. More specialized brains have one half good at covering one aspect of though, and the other half covering another aspect of thought. The two brains of a lateralized brain tend to be more like two generalists, while a specialized brain tends to be like two specialists. Usually lateralized brains are better with language, while specialized brains are better at math and spacial skills, hense my experiment of if lefties are clumsy. On IQ tests, the abilites of the lateralized brain and the specialized brain tend to cancel eachother out, and usually there isn't any difference in smarts. It's also interesting to note that people who develop faster (which means females) usually have a more lateralized brain, while people who take longer to develop (males) have a less lateralized brain because their brain has a longer time to specialize as it develops.

Just thought that was interesting.

This is just in general, really, it's not a rule to be followed since it's just a rule of averages. It's just because I wouldn't know that men are better at science than women, I don't think that was part of the test. But for the difference between math and english, I think it was simply that a specialized brain can caluculate faster in math, while in language two brains working together got the job done faster.

My reaction time is a little slow, but I am most definitely righ-handed. After almost 8 years of karate and then 2 years of drumming and a year of piano, I'm about ready to just chop my whole left side right off and end the frustrations FOREVER.

Or a fire truck? To put out the fire in this young Cappie's pants...caused ::ahem:: embarrassingly by bumping into a table without my glasses and knocking a candle into my lap?

Yessa, I feel so old that I can already tell ya for two years I walked 5 miles home from the bus stop every day, rain or shine, sleet or snow. Then I got a bike that turned into a car a year ago.

All I know is that I have been "off beat" my whole life and never could get in step with all those drummers...Sameness=boring. Different=excitement

JT, it appears to me by my problem solving skills that you are EXCITING....

Keep chewing πŸ™‚
