One of my daughters lured me over to a certain test-taking site by pointing me to a chart placing her political and social views on a chart that showed her being somewhere between Pope John Paul II and Gandhi. Hmmm, I thought. This was worth looking at. So I did. After I found out that my views put me in Donald Trump's social / political outlook neighborhood, I poked around more and it turned out that there was some very interesting stuff there . Before I go there though, I didn't score that far away from the late Pope but I was across some lines admittedly. I explain the Donald Trump thing by reminding you of my baton teaching story. I guess it's no surprise to anyone that I've been both a pragmatist and a capitalist since before I really understood what they are .

But back to the test site; the first test I took after leaving the social/political views issue claimed to slice and dice and classify my brain, which it says is:

60% interpersonal, 140% visual, 120% verbal, and 80% mathematical

Actual it explained that: "the score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively" I'm with them on the Visual and Verbal thing and I know that I could be a hermit if needed, thus explaining the social thing, but I'm pretty sure either the test is full of hooey or I answered a couple questions wrong. Otherwise it would have rated my math enjoyment at about two percent. Then I really went over the edge by taking their "Death Test" which revealed the following: According to our research, you'll be dead by

September 2034 at age 87

Susan Dies at Age: 86.6 years
AVERAGE FEMALE LIFE SPAN:	77.1 years

Ok, but do they have to announce it so big ?

	WHY YOU DIE? 56% cancer 24% car accident 13% loneliness 5% drowning 2% wounds

That graphic is horrible. It looks like some Biblical illustration. And the next part is just downright depressing: You have 10580.1 days left on this earth.

You've already lived 67% of your life.

What? My grandparents were all born in the 1800s and they were older than that when they died way, back before modern medicine worked miracles! I'm being robbed. I feel like I just got here. Doesn't time just fly by after a certain point? I'd better get busy doing stuff and having fun like TODAY.
