I think it would be fun to be in the training class with others. I wish we could actually all take each of the intelligence tests so we can evaluate and understand each of them. It is interesting that there are so many methods for assessing intelligence and that it is not an exact science. I wonder if we could do brain scans of corpus collossum and use that as a tool for GT testing. Because having extra white matter is what identifies those as genius, right? Problems with high GT kids being born to rich parents and a society of scaling of brain matter…. ok, maybe not. Let us take the intelligence tests!
