My SQ was 17, thick as pig shit springs to mind *smirk*

Oh well that brought me down to earth with a bump especially after

getting a 69 in the other!

Not at all Raena. I suspect that Gail's score would be in that range

for SQ. It just means that you do not order and categorize as often

or as typically as others do, but I suspect, that like Gail you have

innovative, creative, and unusual abilites to make novel connections

and solutions for problem solving. They are just different ways of

thinking is all.

That describes me very well. I'm very cynical but I'm also very

empathetic.

I trust people...I trust them to make mistakes. I trust them to screw

up royally, be a pain in the butt and be incredibly self-centered at

times.

Gee...weaknesses I share.

It rather like the way you feel when your child is upset because

something didn't go their way and they're pitching a fit because of

it. You can feel empathy for them that they're disappointed, but you

recognize that the behavior is inappropriate so you have to correct

the behavior instead of giving them the hug you might have wanted to

give them instead. Of course the " hug " concept is thrown out the

window with some of our kids. not all of them want to be touched.
