Phew, Gazelle . . . I'm exhausted just trying to follow your post. That sounds grueling!!!

Tell me, how are a fly and tree similar? Living organisms or something like that?

I didn't like my mom or dad either, but I loved them. Sounds contradictory, I suppose . . . but they did the best THEY could.

Glad it's over and you will be hopefully getting valid results this time.

Good luck!

Cherie

Could it be because you have a cold?

Hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like the MMPI! I had a real problem with that test. There were several questions on there that I had a problem answering because of the phrasing. Oh well, glad I have never had to do any neuro-psych testing and glad that yours is over.



tree leaves and fly wings look similar. I remember that from my botany class.

Okay, first: how are a tree and fly similar? sheesh, I feel stupid now!

Cheryl - I also have a problem with the MMPI. I had to take it when I was a teenager - and the shrink said they could not validate my results because I had LIED! Huh?

Well, the question was something about "swearing" - I said I never swear.... and the doctor told me I had just said fuc% a million times to him. I said, "That's not swearing, that's cursing!!!" Sigh. Apparently, that is called swearing....but I grew up and it was called cursing. Swearing, to me, meant making statements like, "I swear....yadda yadda yadda" - which I never did.

The MMPI is one of those "biased" tests that relies on language based on a norm that hasn't been updated in eons.

Okay, not back to the fly and tree?

I am so impressed that you remembered so much of the test to be able to tell us about it!

I think you're smarter than you think you are!


C'mon, tell us the answer to the fly/tree question!!!

That's it?

FG, I just thought you were venturing an educated guess, being a gardenologist and all.

Ah, heck! I thought it was supposed to be a riddle or something.

So I gather a fly and a leaf have veins that make them similar? Well, then, you oughta take a look at the tops of my hands! Egad!
