I do not think in words, and sometimes it takes me a very long time to translate whatever I am trying to say.<BR/><BR/>I also have only recently acquired the ability to express some things, particularly emotions or sensations. For whatever reason, the more personal or subjective the experience, the more difficulty I will have talking about it. At various points in my childhood, I have refused to say the word "I," so strong were my mental blocks against voicing this stuff!<BR/><BR/>Really, I have been "learning to talk" my whole life.<BR/><BR/><I>If I ever had to do that task on blade runner ...</I><BR/><BR/>OMG, I identified <I>so much</I> with the Replicants! Especially the thing about how they were very young and emotionally inexperienced? Yeah. That's me. 24 and about as worldly as your average preteen, and as emotionally intelligent as your average toddler ...Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860246538349067232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030192151060424815.post-51504936192352135012009-02-07T04:22:00.000-08:002009-02-07T04:22:00.000-08:00If I ever had to do that test on blade runner, I w...If I ever had to do that test on blade runner, I would fail miserably, and as a result executed!Beastinblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001553829217827228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2030192151060424815.post-87371654417976587162009-02-04T04:58:00.000-08:002009-02-04T04:58:00.000-08:00I usually do very well on those eye tests...but on...I usually do very well on those eye tests...but only by working back from the answers. My first glimpse of the eyes usually results in an instinctive answer that isn't even on the list, but by going through the list I can compare the image with each answer and I can almost always find the right match.<BR/><BR/>This is why on-line tests are worthless. When doing the test with a real person and just giving my answer verbally and not having multiple choice questions I'd do a lot worse.<BR/><BR/>Tests only test who is good at taking tests.AS-4-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812068998304682312noreply@blogger.com
