just a bit of gas really. Punctation was my downfall. Its like IQ test, pseudo science masquerading as real in order to allow some people to pigeon hole others.

Ohh, you only got 7 in spatial relations etc.

if taken as fun, they can show a tendancy twards intelligence or comprehension, but shouldn't b taken too seriously.
