As logistician: I have experienced a variety of pedestrian to complex personal and professional situations in the past and have committed many paradigms, troubleshooting techniques and solutions to memory.

Test scores:
IQ test result:
Your IQ score is 135
This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.
Your Intellectual Type is Visual Mathematician. This means you are gifted at spotting patterns — both in pictures and in numbers. These talents combined with your overall high intelligence make you good at understanding the big picture, which is why people trust your instincts and turn to you for direction — especially in the workplace

"*Interests networking" I meet people and ask what they would like to do; then, I offer to help them with their resume and become more expert in what they're interested in. Then, I find someone else who would like to learn a skill matching the first person's and attempt to coordinate training between the two parties.

As an amateur astronomer, I helped professional astronomers refine corrections to the limb (visible edge) of the moon and analyze errors of the Hipparcos proper motion system by looking through a telescope and making timed observations of stars passing behind the limb of the moon. This information is used to help track changes in our Sun's diameter investigated when observed during eclipses by our Earth's moon. Additionally, I made timed observations of occultation of stars by asteroids, most notably that of Pallas in May 1983. My observations of that event from Dania, Florida are included with those published in the Astronomical Journal. It was the first comprehensive mapping of an asteroid by indirect means.
