Some things about my mind:
- May not be completely clear on the distinction between biography and encyclopedia as it applies to a user page.
- I have a PhD in applied math
- Speak some French and some Tswana
- Programming in C, Sql, Java, etc.
- My Myers-Briggs type seems to be INTP
- My intelligence level seems to be in the top 5 percent, not the top 1 percent though
- Used to play chess - now I play scrabble instead
- Solved Rubik's Cube without any guide!
- Also I like to play Civilization II - do not like the other versions!
- Interested in politics, current events, history, religion
- I like science a lot - physics, bio, chem, cosmology, etc.
- Not that much into literature
- My aptitudes (Johnson O'Conner Research) are: Inductive reasoning; Objective personality; Deductive Reasoning; Ideaphoria; 3-Dimensional Visualization; pitch discrimination slightly more than rhythm or timbre; high vocabulary; and that one where you learn new words.
- Aptitudes I lack are foresight, abstract thinking (antithetical to three-dimensional), and observation.
Politics
In politics I can appreciate some conservative impulses and some
liberal ones. I define conservative as preserving existing structure.
In elections I vote for liberals, although I got confused and voted
for Zell Miller once. One year I voted for the Green Party.
