I just don't see why they have to consistently have to measure our abilities; not like it changes in one week. @Ian Mayman – Thanks for your input on this topic.

I know what you mean about school tests, all heart and soul is taken out of education these days and replaced with constant monitoring of kids abilities. It's kind of ironic really that if you go to any womens website, such as iVillage, or read a womens magazine, you will find almost constant tests on every subject there is all for the reader to answer the question "Am I Normal?"! This unfortunately is because so many people are so scared of standing out from the crowd and airing their views like bloggers do. These tests are pointless 99% of the time and a waste of time, but people (women mostly) can't resist these tests! Ian Hey Josh!
