Week Four How good is your memory?  Verbal memory test  People tend to tell me that I have a good memory. I can remember things from a long time ago. I remember so many things from when I was little...most of them are unnecessary but sometimes important. I thought since I had a pretty good memory i would have done better than I did, but according to my results I remembered less than half. http://www.memorylossonline.com/learning_memory/mem_games/verbaltest1.html Number memory test Remembering numbers in my opinion is much easier than words. I remembered up to eight numbers. Remembering the numbers is easier because you can remember them in sections. Using the chunking method with the numbers makes it much easier, but when you have to start remembering more numbers the chunking is not as easy to use. http://www.braingle.com/mind/test_numbers.php Famous Faces Test I am not as good as remembering faces as I am with names I thought but this test prov...

Week Six Anything Blog  Transgender is always a big topic people talk about. You either agree with it or you don't, there is no in between for this. The definition of being transgender is denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their sex. I feel it is extremely important for people to feel comfortable in their own skin and not to care what other people think of them because everyone is human and everyone deserves to be treated equally and to be loved. Caitlyn Jenner is a well known transgender who was once a man and became a women. Many people don't agree with his decision but it doesn't affect him and that's how it should be. A man named Edie Weinstein interviewed a transgender person who was once a man and is now a woman. This person had so much doubt and fear of what other people said and they treated him because he wanted to be different that he stayed in house and never went outside. He had a whole...

Week Three Jung Typology Test According to my results, I have a distinct preference of Extroversion over Introversion by about 66%. I also have a small preference of Sensing over Intuition, feeling over thinking, and perceiving over judging. The results are very accurate to me. I care more about how i feel at the moment than the consequences of them afterwards. In a situation this is sad but i think more about myself as well as others, but they just don't admit it. http://www.humanmetrics.com/personality  BBC Personality Quiz None of these quizzes wanted to work for me. They each told me Error 404 http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/careers/index_3.shtml?&Q01_most=d&Q01_least=e&Q02_most=a&Q02_least=d  Explain your Brain  I am very proud of my religion. I know what I believe in and why I believe in it. I don't believe that you have to donate to churches or charities to prove your religious. I also don't believe ...

Week Two Politics and Personality Myself personally I am not into politics as much as I should be I guess. I do not really like to get involved in all of that because it gets to be a really sensitive topic for some people and also I really just don't understand most of it. The whole process is confusing to me to be honest. The furthest thing I know that has to do with politics are all of the presidents, if that even counts. Political Typology I mentioned previously that I do not really understand politics these questions were answered as honestly as possible but not. There were many questions where I did not really know what to pick because it didn't really relate to me so I ended up picking the "closest" as to what I would say.  I got the Hard- Pressed Skeptic. This is the  Deeply financially-stressed and distrustful of government. We  have reservations about both political parties, but more lean toward the Democratic Party. In general, they want government t...

Week One This first intelligence test, referred to today as the  Binet-Simon Scale , became the basis for the intelligence tests still in use today. However, Binet himself did not believe that his psychometric instruments could be used to measure a single, permanent and inborn level of intelligence. I have only taken one other IQ test, but that was in middle school and it was nothing like this one. The questions were extremely hard and didn't really make sense to me  https://www.verywell.com/history-of-intelligence-testing-2795581 http://www.queendom.com/tests/access_page/index.htm?idRegTest=3108
