View Full Version : Apparently I don't belong in college...

Or...well..anywhere else it appears. :jolly



I took this nifty little assessment today that scored me on 10 different areas. It's kind of interesting.



The scores go from 1% to 100%.



The first area is anxiety. I scored 50%. That's not necessarily good, not necessarily bad. Ok, life goes on.



The second area is attitude. I scored a 20%. Hmm. That's not so good. It says I may not believe college is relevant or necessary for achieving my goals. Well......not exactly....



The third area is concentration. I think I broke the program. 1%. That ADHD I've been told I have but never diagnosed? Yeah..I might really have it. :rudolph



Oh here's a good one! Information processing. 90%. Apparently, I'm really, really good at applying what I hear and see to real life. That, apparently, saves my life more than I really realized. At least according to this assessment.



Motivation. I guess I'm not very motivated either. Which is odd..cuz pretty much once I decide I'm doing something, I do it. Period. Is that motivation or just pure mule-headedness though? Oh, I scored 30%. I need to accept more responsibility for my education. Would really take up too much space to include a full response, but yeah..I'm responsible for my own education and I'm feeling pretty good about how that's working for me. lol



The next area is self testing, or how well do I check to see if I'm learning stuff before I have to prove it to someone else. Apparently, I'm no good at this. 20%.



Selecting main ideas (from a text or lecture). Not good. 15%. Good thing I have photographic memory and just remember it all (short term at least) heh



Study aids!? 30%. lol I don't know how to use resources. I'm thinking, if I can't concentrate..(and honestly that score is probably 100% accurate..lol) I'm doing mighty fine on this...just maybe not the way anyone else would like me to. lol



Time management. 15%. Well...since it all gets done, on time (nothing's been turned in late, or incomplete yet) and juggle 4 kids and 2 jobs on top of it..I must be doing something right.



Test strategies. Woot...30%. That was actually higher than I expected. I might need to learn a better way to study for a test. Well..I won't argue that.



This whole thing just cracked me up though.

Those tests are bogus. Einstein would have flunked.

I'll take the compliment. :christmasjig

Actually, I know they are. I KNOW my brain works all strange like compared to other people's. That's ok..it seems to get done what needs done. :jolly

Now you give me hope as well. :santathumb

I'm still kind of giggling over this. As I read AFF with my homework up in another window doing itself...um..I wish.

Well, Nahkoe...you're doing better than I ever did. Never made it to college. In fact, never made it to high school.

Actually, I did get my GED and managed to take some college classes. So, I'm not a complete idiot. Just partial.
