It's Official - Am a Genius!
Your IQ score is:| You scored 142 on Tickle's IQ test. This means that based on your answers, your IQ score is between 132 and 142. Most people's IQs are between 70 and 130. |
In fact, 95% of all people have IQs within that range. 68% of people score between 80 and 120. The following chart to your right, shows these percentages and where your IQ score is on that scale. There's more to intelligence than a single number, a single score or a single label. Tickle uses four distinguishable Intelligence Scales in the Ultimate IQ Test. By analyzing your individual scores on those four scales, we are able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you process information and thereby determine your Intellectual Type. |

| Your Intellectual Type Is: Visionary Philosopher |
 | Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with great ideas. The timelessness of your vision and the balance between your various skills are what make you a Visionary Philosopher. In addition to your strengths in math and linguistics, you have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns. These skills and your uncanny ability to detect the underlying blueprint of most of life's situations add to your Visionary Philosopher mind. |
Two philosophers who share the same combination of skills you possess are Plato and Benedict Spinoza. Spinoza had insight into how things worked in the world. He could envision a future based on the patterns he saw in life, and used mathematical logic as a structure within which to present his philosophical arguments. With that base he was able to use logic to formulate his theories. Borrowing from his linguistic strengths he wrote eloquent texts and, therefore, was able to bring his philosophical ideas and structure to the rest of the world. His story exemplifies the talents that are present in the Visionary Philosopher intellectual type. Whatever you decide to do in life, you've got a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You can expand your mind to understand a situation. Your strong balance of math and verbal skills will help you explain things to others. For example, if you were on an archaeological dig and discovered an object, you could probably use your deductive powers to figure out not only what the object was but also how it was used. Given your ability to put things together, you are more than capable of inventing a life plan that is in synch with your perspective on how things were, how they are, and how they might be one day. |

Your 4 Intelligence Scales:Based on the results of your test, Tickle divided your scores into four distinguishable dimensions — mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence and logic intelligence.
Here's how each of your intelligence scores break down:
Mathematical Intelligence
Visual-Spatial Intelligence
Linguistic Intelligence
You scored in the 100th percentile on the linguistic intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.
Linguistic abilities include reading, writing and communicating with words. Tickle's test measures knowledge of vocabulary, ease in completing word analogies and the ability to think critically about a statement based on its semantic structure. Your score was relatively high, which could mean you know your way around a bookstore and maybe like to bandy about the occasional 25-cent word to impress friends.
Logical Intelligence
You scored in the 100th percentile on the logical intelligence scale.
This means that you scored higher than 90% - 100% of people who took the test and that 0% - 10% scored higher than you did. The scale above illustrates this visually.
Tickle's logical intelligence questions assess your ability to think things through. The questions determine the extent to which you use reasoning and logic to determine the best solution to a problem. Your logic score was relatively high, which could mean that when the car breaks down, your friends look to you to help figure out not only what's wrong, but how to fix it and how you're going to get to the next gas station.

The legend passes on...
Dr. Raj Kumar, the doyen of Kannada cinema, passed away today.
My first idol, the man whose mannerisms every kid in the neighborhood would aspire to copy when we were growing up (early 1980s), is no more today. And i find it very very hard to believe.
When the news first came in this afternoon, i was so engrossed in work that I kinda brushed it off as just another thing. I guess i never accepted that such a thing could happen. But when the full force of this hit me late in the evening, it was quite shattering. Shocking. Saddening. A quiet cry went up.
I was most certainly not one of his most vocal or die-hard fans. Come to think of it, I haven't even watched his last few movies - atleast in the last decade and a half or so. But, how can you completely divorce the memories of a man you grew up watching? Just not possible. The fact that parents would agree to let their young sons and daughters watch movies as long as it was Dr. Raj's movies explains the kind of respect his work commanded. I especially loved his movies in which he portrayed societal issues with great sensitivity. "Sakshatkara", "Kasturi Nivasa", "Gandhi nagara", "Bangarada Manushya", "Gandhada Gudi". Those are the memories that i will carry on with.
The greatness of "Annavru", as he was fondly known, was his humbleness and his genuineness. His essential love for people and that genuine innocence is something that you can only associate with a bygone generation. You would believe him when he said he had a vision of God in his dreams. His humility and good naturedness would make even the most hardened sceptic want to believe him. Such was Dr. Raj's effect on people.
I was fortunate enough to have had a small, but face to face, interaction with the man. And i still remember his one quality that struck me that day - his respect and love for people - young or old. His eyes exuded that strange and peaceful kindness. The kindness that bestowed two others with eye sight when he donated his eyes. Even in death, the man lives on.
The man who strode Kannada cinema for five decades, will live on in the minds and hearts of millions of people. We will all carry different memories of the great man. All of which are tinged with a large amount of fondness for the man.

Me, my movie, and my personality icon!
Firstly, apologies are due from me for not showing up around this place for this long. Would love to say I was too busy with things to post, but that wouldn't really be true. Simply not interested, or too bored to post would be better descriptions. Having said that, here's something that I came across while reading through my daily fill of people's blogs (oh yes, I still continue to do that, fret not!).
According to this test, I am this classic movie:
I think I am pleased with this (atleast, am not "Konan the barbarian", or one of the "Confessions" series movies:-))
A further test - this time on the iconic personality that closely matches my own personality - confirms that I am..hold your breath, this icon:
Now, am not sure if I should believe this or not..but, the movie test result seems to tally with the personality icon test, guess it's consistently true (or consistently false)!
