Mensa Workout - Results Your score: 60%! You took the "Mensa Workout" quiz and were awarded 18/30 marks Snapshot Report Crystallized Intelligence Subscale IQ score = 114 Subscale percentile = 84               114 Emotional intelligence Snapshot Report Ability to identify emotions in self  45 Intelligence is the ability to learn from experience I feel that you need both, emotional is needed to be around people and mental lets you do stuff on your own. I would have to choose mental because if you think about it emotional intelligence is part of mental intelligence. I think your ability is inherited, but the rest is learned. If you don’t use it you lose it. I learned that I am very bad at emotional intelligence, but I am decent at mental intelligence. I learned that people in our class have very different intelligences. 

Nash equilibrium- The point in a situation where neither side can outdo the other. They are in a dead lock Game theory- The analysis of others strategies to try to get ahead of the other. Prisoner dilemma- 2 players make a simultaneous decision to work together or compete. You get an ok reward for working together, but if you try to compete and they work together you get a big reward. If you both compete you get a very tiny reward. I played this game a few times. One time I tied the game, and all of the others I won. I don’t think that the game is very hard. All I did was work with it on a few and then I kept competing so it couldn’t catchup with me in points. My best score was 32 to 27, me winning In history-In war the generals are predicting the other army’s moves as they fight. In government- Government run banks have high interest rates; no banks have different rates so that is what the people are going to pay In economics- When stores each lower their prices to tr...

I learned that both parties chose awful people to run, and that people kept supporting one just because they don’t like the other candidate. I learned that Hilary and her family are associated with 28 missing persons cases, that they had drug incidents, and that she was a lawyer in Watergate. I learned that Trump is a racist, sexist, jerk that cheats on his taxes and uses his charity to help his business. They never talk about their issues and when they do they are usually interrupted. All I know is that trump disagrees with most of Hilary’s policies. The elections are run that party that has the most votes gets a certain number of electoral votes. The electoral votes are what really matters, and whoever wins that becomes the president. I still don’t like politics. They don’t care about the people; they only care to get their party in power, to stay there, and to make money. I understand it more, and I actually hate it more once I understood the Electoral College. I think that the pop...

Who am I? I am Rachel, a 17 year old girl who lives in SD. I work at a gas station. I feel that I am fairly smart. I am a cheerleader. I really have no idea about my personality, and I hate talking about myself like this. 

I personally think that Trump is both a narcissist and a sociopath. He has many traits of both of them and I cannot choose which one is more prominent. I have found sources to support that Trump is both a narcissist and a sociopath. According to this  link the personality traits of a narcissists involve haughty and arrogant behaviors, and is overrun with the delusion that they have or will have unlimited success, power, wealth, beauty and love. Trump is by far arrogant. He feels that he is beyond the best and that no one could ever think to be better than him. Trump has had success in his life and now he thinks that he is going to be president. So Trump looks like he could never lose the election. Trump wants to have all of the power and wealth of being the president. He also falsely believes that he is attractive and loved by all. The site also states that narcissists take advantage of others. Trump takes advantage of people who want to have change in our county, and he has go...

28 th amendment Public funding for campaigns Article—The public support should be the driving factor in a politicians staying in the running for an office. This would pertain for all state and federal offices. Private funding may be applied, but only in an amount equal to that that is publicly funded. This allows the public to have more power on which the main candidates will be. To prevent big businesses and organizations from pushing people that would help them instead of the betterment of the nation as a whole. Politicians now have to think wisely on how they campaign making everything to the point with less beating around the bush. I think that this will also allow third party members to have a larger chance of getting into office. 

The 13 th amendment ended slavery and involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime. This is one of the three civil war amendments. This amendment was proposed by congress on January 31, 1865. It was ratified December 6, 1865. Some mandatory services that are not forbid by this are jury duty and service in the armed forces. This amendment was made during a time when slavery was common; it was more common in the southern areas. Slavery and involuntary servitude (except for punishment for a crime) is still illegal today. The 14 th amendment is also called the equal rights amendment. The main part of this amendment defined citizenship.  You can be a citizen by being born on US soil or applying to be a citizen. This amendment also talks about the due process of law, meaning that all people are the same and should be treated fairly under the law. It also talks about being a representative you must be male, 21 or up any race excluding non-taxed Indians. Former slave owners...

In cheer-leading you have to teach the new girls how to do all the cheers and chants. There were a few people that were teaching the new girls, and I was one of them. The main way we teach them is to separate the cheers into different smaller section. You show them the small section until they get it. Then you watch them; correct them, and then move on to the next thing. The best way to learn something is to be able to do it yourself.

I believe that he should have kept this to himself. He is just trying to get attention to himself because he isn’t starting. He is just being selfish. The people fighting overseas are protecting our entire country, including blacks! We should all support the people who are risking their lives to keep us safe should have our support. If he is so mad at the way America works he can go to another county. Maybe one that has slavery legal that no one has any rights that you make the same money as everyone else no matter what you do. He needs to learn how good he has it. Even the “oppressed” blacks need to learn that. They can own homes, have running water, electricity, and jobs that have health standards, I don’t see what is so awful about living in a place that gives you so many rights. If you are mad at the county you need to go somewhere that has fewer rights and then you might be glad for all the things and rights you have. America is a better county than most of the world, and so many...

relaxation Moist Living outside of town I can get stressed/emotional easily Dental hygiene Physical labor Loud, stubborn, insecurity Through this class I would like to understand the way of thinking better than I did before. I also hope to get a bit of the sociology aspect in this class too. I think it would be cool to learn about how and why people interact the way that we do. I also hope to get an A out of this class. It would be amazing if I would be able to understand people and help them out with problems. I hope that we don’t get into any huge arguments that we can never let go of. I want to get a better understanding on the human race, both what causes out actions and why they come about. I want to get a better understanding on our human race. What do I hope to get out of by having Mr. Reints as a teacher? I hope to learn a lot of things about what is going on in our country and the rest of the world and being able to have a better understanding on it. I also h...
