I used to be so clever
This entry was posted on June 5, 2008
When I was in school I did something called the Morrisby Profile, which is “an integrated set of twelve paper and pencil tests which assess aptitude and work based personality.” I got some pretty good results but forgot about them until today when my Mum found the paperwork.
Let’s take a look at my results!
As you can see, my strengths were definitely in things relating to numbers. I always was a bit of a Maths nut, even if I did fail miserably at certain things. I once worked out a probability at 117, when it’s impossible for the answer to be anything higher than 1!
I’m quite proud of how well I did in this profile. I think of myself as a “frustrated” genius. Well, I’m not so much of a “genius”, I’m more… someone that has a fair amount of intelligence but doesn’t always get to use it as much as I’d like.
I wonder what would happen if I took the same test again today. My numerical skills definitely wouldn’t be that high! I can barely manage mental arithmetic these days. Maybe I just need some practice? I’d like to think that my confidence / inner conviction would be higher! I don’t have a huge ego at all, but… I don’t think I’m that retarded.
Other graphs and whathaveyou can be found in the Morrisby Profile set on my Flickr.
