I Tickled myself today
and giggled quietly
at the number on the screen
and what it did mean,
for the test results say
my intellectual type
is Insightful Linguist.
Thank goodness I misread it at first,
for I thought it said
Inciteful Linguist!
and I wondered how they found out
about the number of times
I did scream and shout,
with or without a soapbox,
with or without any listeners.
The gurus at Tickle declared
these results mean
I am highly intelligent,
have the natural fluency of a writer,
and the visual and spatial strengths
of an artist.
I noticed they didn't say anything
about my computation skills,
and that made me chuckle
with recognition,
knowing perhaps they just busted me
for my life long inability
to compute accurately mathematically.
~sigh~
And here I thought
I had covered my tracks well.
I shall not divulge my number,
as numbers hold little weight for me.
But I was pleased the test registered
I have some linguistics ability.

lol, thanks Kari
I must have learned something from life,
as the number score is 1 point higher
than the one I was given at age 17.
(hint: I am 1 point below genius cutoff...
that's me...always on some edge, just under the line)
I have learned to laugh at numbers though.
Colors, shapes, and sounds have always triggered my creative endeavors.
