I'm depressed with my score. BD, you can relax a little.
Hey wait a minute...can I win a prize if my number matches the Bailout Plan figure?

Don't mince words
And now that I've read everyone else's scores I feel even worse.
Now you know why I'm not an engineer.

4.21 and feel lucky to have gotten that. I was doing pretty well until the last one.

4.30, the only time I ever get off the peak of the bell curve is when we are talking height.

I took the test again tonight. In spite of being even more tired than last night, my score dropped to 2.54. I've been called "eagle eyes" and told I should have been a detective.

14.26, and that's why you don't want me doing fine furniture building, brain surgery, or other jobs/tasks that require spacial ability skills. My view has always been that if you can't get a square peg in a round hole, get a bigger hammer. Hell, it usually takes me a week of riding with periodic adjustments to get my front wheel and handlebar stem lined up after I made an adjustment or disassembled the font end to check on the structural integrity of the carbon parts. Once i even developed a limp from riding two seasons with my seat alignment out of kilter.

My scores were so high that I should not be allowed to drive a car, ride a bike or use the remote control. I have turned over the remote to my wife and made her very happy! I should sit in a rocking chair and just become atrophied!

5.05. I'm getting Lasik on January 2 and expect that to lower my score. Or I'm going to ask for my money back.
