Enneagram Type 5 Board Archive Re: Also...Posted by pork on December 01, 2001 at 13:43:14: In Reply to: Also... posted by Karen on December 01, 2001 at 12:14:32: That should make my brother feel better, I'm sure... not that he would want to care anyway -- he's an establishment-mocking 9w1 INFP. Does your son mock the establishment, too? :) Do you know his E/MB type? As for me, I've never considered myself especially bright. It's a major self-esteem issue with me, moreover. So, I'm persistent and bloody-minded (albeit slow), that's all. Maybe it's a little-known secret that people who actually take the time to practice at these g-tests (especially the SAT, I suppose), and willingly submit themselves to their rather silly premises, are the ones who often score highest. Personality types that think too much and act too little (Fives, INTx's, etc.) might be better primed for such quizzing, too, based on their habitual attention style. Here's another one for Cory: Just scored 162 on "intelligencetest.com". And it's also "normed" from a large sample basis. Ha! Yet, there are two curious things about this one. First, the norm was set at 118, not 100, upon the (mis?)apprehension that people who are clever enough to know how to turn on a computer and log onto the Internet are a notch above the sigma +1 range. Second, the test scoring is based on standard deviations, with 150+ being the 99.87th percentile, or about 1 in 714. Is that the ideal bell-curve figure? I imagine that, theoretically, 1 in 100 would achieve a score of 148 (3 SD's above the mean). Maybe Bart, our math whiz, can answer that question. ^(oo)^
