The truth about me

Congratulations, Jasmine!
Your IQ score is 131

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Facts Curator. This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You've got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates. And that's just some of what we know about you from your test results.

And then these morons think I'm going to pay them. . .not so much. Oh, but sweeet, I just looked it up and technically I'm gifted. Encyclopaedia Brittannica says that any score higher than 130 shows that. So I may just be barely gifted, but woot! Talk about a little self-esteem boost. :)

Oh, and Dr. Haddad-I'm up-to-date in my lesson planning right now. It's still a pain though. I wish someone else could just do that part for me! I love my students, and I love the teaching--but planning? Ick. That's not part of my life at all!


I am a kind of paranoiac in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.
J. D. Salinger (1919 - )

Think twice before you speak, and then you may be able to say something more insulting than if you spoke right out at once.
Evan Esar (1899 - 1995), Esar's Comic Dictionary
Public speaking is the art of diluting a two-minute idea with a two-hour vocabulary.
Evan Esar
The girl with a future avoids a man with a past.
Evan Esar
Walking isn't a lost art: one must, by some means, get to the garage.
Evan Esar
Play: Work that you enjoy doing for nothing.
Evan Esar, Esar's Comic Dictionary

That all men are equal is a proposition which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent.
Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)

I don't understand the sizes anymore. There's a size zero, which I didn't even know that they had. It must stand for: 'Ohhh my God, you're thin.'
Ellen DeGeneres

I'd love to eat some of that corn ice cream. What's the chocolate like over there?

sure, you can be gifted, Dr. Haddad. . .and the chocolate-not so great. The chocolate that's on the ice cream is usually good. And every once in a while you find expensive Cadbury, which of course is the greatest--but most of it is Dove, and I'm just not a fan of Dove.
