Phyxius,

Good line about working for the U.S. Treasury Department. I think Hockey is a Canadian. Besides, our Treasury Dept already has enough brain damaged people using fuzzy math to balance the books.

As Hockey said, knowing is much better than not knowing. The simple understanding that you are not imagining these symptoms is a load lifter. It helps you get directed at skills to help with brain-injury moments, as Dr Schutz calls them.

Hockey,

I have been thinking of trying to get a SIG (Special Interest Group) going at MENSA for the brain injured. It could be quite a benefit to the injured and those who try to diagnose, treat and care for them.

Together, we probably have more knowledge about PCS that all but a few of the top specialists.

What do you think?

First, I'd have to get tested. I have >99% in a number of IQ scales but have not had a Stanford Benet in decades. I routinely score >140 in online IQ tests. I never liked the egg head type of MENSAns. They get too stuck on themselves. Most are great at knowledge but weak at complex thought, except for the Chess types. My past neurologist is a MENSAn. His offhand analysis of me is that I am in the high MENSA level.
