hello everyone, today is friday, jan 24. in ten minutes i will probably go to a meeting where they do mental health power plays to make you feel like crap.
i'm recovering from not getting admitted to a society based on a test score that should have qualified me. 1250 is a 130, i got a 1340, which is 140. then i got a 1420 above that, which is a 148. it couldn't be more straightforward. and then i got a writing score that is 160. there is no other way to look at it. can you in all seriousness say the perfect score is a 148. no, you can't. Can you say the 1420 is just a 140. no, you can't. can you say the 1340 is a 130. no. you can't. but people want to. why. what is making them want to. my mental health group said they think it is because of age. i think it is because of appearance. someone else suggested that it really is the scores. Another friend suggested that it is because these are all proud rich guys who travel to Dubai and only care about women and cars.
it could be related to the scores, but mostly i think it is not. I think they are either going ten higher than their claimed qualifying score, or they are discriminating for some reason. I would guess that reason to be that they are math nerds who didn't do well on analytical writing.
It seems that there will be a few more blog posts about this. It's not a joke to me in some ways. It was something I was interested in for fun and would be just the right way to cheer up during disability. But it turns out to be a consistent scam. I think the more reputable group actually did treat me well. That group is Mensa and is more inclusive in terms of points. I might send them a note to report my thoughts. I might also send an email to one of the super high organizations, or even the super super high group. Just to tell them my thoughts.
Hopefully Infinity International which did accept me will keep me around. Maybe that is where I will share my opinion. That could be a good idea. On their forum. But I don't have the email yet.
Ok gotta go have a good day.
