I've been going through psychological testing for the past month or so. (That sounds like a long time, but it's just that the appts were spread out.) My IQ test was today and I don't believe I've ever had an IQ test, so it will be interesting to see what develops. It was a little frustrating for me because one of the questions they asked was, "Who wrote the Sherlock Holmes mysteries?", and despite the fact that I've read the collection three times, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's name would not present itself to me! Until I got to the parking lot, that is. Overall, I think I did well. The most difficult part for me was dealing with numbers. I could do pretty well repeating back a series of numbers, but when I had to repeat them in reverse it got a bit sticky.
I'm glad the mental gymnastics are over and can't wait to discuss my results next week. They may help indicate whether I'm a candidate for disability, in which case I'll have to get truckin' on that process. It takes months and I won't be able to draw unemployment during that time. Meanwhile, I'm looking for jobs I think I can handle and I have to tell ya - there aren't many. I may try some freelance writing through online "clearing houses", but I'm not sure. Just something to think about.
