So: later edit. Thank you, insomnia…

Missed in the quiz:

Jazz: Which would have included high influence from Ornette Coleman, Anthony Braxton, Thelonius Monk.

Folk: Also high influence. Ani, John Gorka, Joni, Bill Morrissey, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Nick Cave. I suppose Richard Thompson might fall here as well.

Old School Blues: Where the hell are the Blues?! Robert Johnson, Blind Willie Johnson, Freddie King, Hubert Sumlin, Blind Blake.

Also — When I think of my rap influence, I wouldn’t say it was high; I also missed groups like Public Enemy, BDP, Disposable Heroes, etc.

Signing off for the night (again), I remain,

Time for a meme…

and nothing else.

Your brain: 120% interpersonal, 80% visual, 140% verbal, and 60% mathematical!
Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.

Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:

  1. Don’t date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
  2. Don’t be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
  3. Don’t have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.
