I would like to think I'm sentient, but I don't really care.

Then we have something in common. I also don’t care if you’re sentient.

Now this is a very good point.  I have experienced severe anxiety attacks myself and they are not fun when you don't understand what's happening to you.  I have no idea how anxiety plays into someone with no internal dialogue but I can definitely say that it would be amazing to just shut mine off for a while.

RE: No internal monologue
All brains are not wired the same.

I find spacial relations to be quite easy - and was amazed to find out that so many people find it difficult.


I tested to get hired by GM at the Kalamazoo BOC plant in the early 1990s - just before they got closed down. (They froze hiring... Bastards)

I got called back - and was made to re- take the visual spacial relations testing - which I found quite easy - and enjoyable. Look at objects " unfolded" then match with the folded part. Puzzle time. Smile It was a large portion of the overall testing and score rather a lot on overall score.

They had 3 guys watch me take the test. I finished - and they told me to check my answers. 

Uh oh... I must have REALLY fucked up.


....

Nope. Got 100%.

They told me that that NEVER happens. Guys who get them all done get some wrong - and guys who don' t get any wrong don't finish the whole test.

Hmmm....

Dunno boss - seemed pretty easy to me....

Those tests were easy for me, too. I took them when I hired in to the GM assembly plant in Van Nuys. That ability comes in real handy when doing mechanical or electrical design...for assembly line laborer, not so much.

It freaked me out that something that seems so easy to me was considered such a big part of the testing... Over 50% if I recall...

RE: No internal monologue
I'm not sure about the tests I took in the US Navy. I don't recall if the GCT had them or not. A 69 or better out of 75 qualifies one for Mensa membership, if one gets an official copy from the Navy to present to them. My score was 73. woo-hoo. :/ I wouldn't want to hang around with just about anyone I know who joined Mensa. They all seem like such smug assholes. 2% of the population qualifies. That ain't all that rare. I caught a real ration of shit from my company commander in boot camp about it, too. I didn't feel too bad about it, since his GCT score was (admitted) 43. Just shows to go ya what Chief material can look like. Big Grin

I once had a MENSA member brag about his membership.


I asked "Is the plural of MENSA Menses?"

The look on the smug fuck' s face was priceless...
