Like, if we're just calling wisdom common sense, mine should be a lot lower probably - I'm fine with the thirteen because I'll take that as a high visual perception and ability to tell when someone is lying, which is where I actually have some talent.

    Yeah but can you punch a football to death??!

    I can transfer a folding pocket knife to my hand and open it without being notice, so kind of?

    Ah, so less Hercules and more Hercules 2014

    I've been using that mood tracker, Daylio, for 35 straight days now. Thanks, @Cello , I think, for suggesting it

    My current job frustrates me
    My hobbies, friends, family and my girlfriend make me happy

    I didn't realize how big of an impact a bad day at work had, or having to say fuck it and wash my hands of things has day after day

    I guess I should get more serious about finding a new job

    The question for strength of 'have you ever broken a rubber ball by striking it' so so dumb. I have, but only because it was a fucking tattered ruin and anyone could have, at that point. Also the constitution questions are whacked out because getting fucking giardia has nothing to do with your constitution, you should have the wisdom to not drink water where animals are pooping. Duh!

    I guess the best constitution question would be a complicated spreadsheet plotting the number of times you had dodgy gas station food and the number of times it made you violently nightmarishly ill.

    I'm going to go ahead and put down my weekly gas station sushi habit from 2014-15 as the 18 on that scale.

    Yeah I get sick about once a month but I ate 4 pounds of all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster once and I'm pretty sure that gets me an 18 by itself.

    it's an app called Daylio. once a day it prompts you to rate the quality of your day on a scale and select what activities you did that day, as well as add any relevant notes about your mood or experience

    over time it can hopefully help you get a picture of what patterns of life lead to you feeling good and what do not

    You can also set it to remind you multiple times per day, so you could for example set it for when you wake up, when you get to work, when you get off work, then maybe like 3 hours after work and bedtime and see how your mood tracks through it all.

    It was unquestionably a plus for me as it helped to identify a bit of a parabolic arc to my depression days which I would not have realized otherwise. Since starting birth control targeting PMDD I've only had 3 or 4 Very Sad Face days over 3 months compared to 3 or 4 each month prior

    But the activity tracking can also be great to identify specific stressors, and things that you do that relieve that stress, too!

    I stopped using it recently, but it was also really interesting to see how my mood cycled throughout the weeks, and what caused sad/angry-face days. It was also a good reminder that all the things I wrote down about "things I'm nervous about" or "things that made me anxious today" always ended up as total non-issues, and made me realize that I have been in a cycle of assuming something about a situation (i.e. "what if this person doesn't like me", "what if this thing is going to happen as a result of this", "what if this person doesn't think I'm good enough") without actually having any real evidence that this would be the case. So now there's a note on my whiteboard on my fridge that reminds me - "hey, do you KNOW something is true, or are you just assuming it is?" to remind myself to stop every now and then and actually consciously think about that.

    It's good stuff! I should start it up again.

    I might figure the dexterity higher, personally - I felt like the question set it gave me was focused on the side of dexterity that I'm bad at, but such is the way of things. And then, y'know, everything else can probably be reduced by 1 because I'm a narcissist so clearly my answers are skewed.

    yeah having multiple questions focused on juggling, just like having multiple questions focused on natural languages spoken, kinda screwed me over

    That’s how I scored so high.

    High INT, but here I am doing online quizzes that attempt to apply single numerical reference points to complex, poorly-mapped dynamic characteristics so that's probably a lie. Also there's no way I'm that charismatic either.
