You're a natural!

There's no adding or subtracting or math work, just recognizing which is more or less. Good job!

Want to try a harder one?

I'm not a natural this is something anyone could do. Ok I'll try harder one. But with all this practice anyway? Not that I'm discrediting anything your doing for me I appreciate but there are not guarantees their any openings.

No, not just anyone could do this. I've done quickie quizzes with many teens and adults. You'd be shocked at how many "failed." The best ones are the people with autism!

Here's the basic rundown of what number category various subjects are found under --

000 – Computer science, Library and Information science & general work
100 – Philosophy and psychology
200 – Religion
300 – Social sciences
400 – Language
500 – Science
600 – Technology
700 – Arts
800 – Literature
900 – History, geography & biography

I'll prepare your next quiz. :)

323.01
322.5
323.5

Righto- Wondergirl ^^ Oh and thank you I am feeling a bit better now.

322.5
323.01
323.05
I hope this is right.
Wait so these numbers are for social sciences?

How to be more positive and come up with a list of positive things:

For example, instead of deflecting someone complimenting you on doing well no the quiz as you did above ("I'm not a natural..."), try this: "Thank you for the nice compliment! I'd be glad to try the harder question...bring it on!"

There's no reason to be embarrassed that you know how to do some things. For example you could start with:

- I enjoy reading and writing
- I am computer literate

Don't overthink it... just write down everything good you can think of about yourself. When you start thinking negatively, read the list and try to think about the good things about you.

Also stop thinking of fixable problems as permanent conditions. Instead of "I'm Obese" how about, "I'm making progress on my weight loss goals". Of course, you have to make that effort but as soon as you start working on it, you'll be making progress.

And some things, like being shy, are not bad things. Read up on the advantages of shyness - there are many.

Yes. You want some from sports or job hunting? :)

I tricked you -- the correct order is

322.5
323.01
323.5 (not .05)

Be sure to read the number correctly. I used to confuse 322 and 323 for some reason.

Those so called "advantages" doesn't seem so great at all compared to the more outgoing counterparts, which by the way are praised in society than more introverted, shy individuals. When have you ever seen a job posting say they wanted shy introverted individuals?

- I enjoy reading. Ok.
-I am computer illiterate. All right.

But millions of people enjoy reading and is damn near every teenager that has a computer is "computer illiterate" that doesn't mean anything to any employers that anyone else doesn't have.

See I don't want to do this anymore. I made a freakin mistake that could have causes a business millions. I couldn't even do that right and had plenty of time.

Should I tell you about my shy, introverted autistic son who has happily shelved books (and done other stuff once he got his feet wet) at a public library for 23 years?

If you want to.

In a public library, it won't cost anyone any money, you will not be beaten in the alleyway, and it is easily corrected.

Now that you know the pitfall, do this one --

649.2
649.07
649.003

649.2
649.07
649.003

Is that it?

So uhh what other stuff has your son done besides shelving books?

Not quite. Pretend there are zeros after each number to make the string an even length.

He has helped set up the meeting room for events, he has filed various things for the circulation clerks, he has shelved reference books, he has taught patrons how to use some of the equipment back when there were microfilm readers, and he has taken "lost" patrons to the reference desk for help. He hates talking to strangers and even to coworkers, and usually minds his own business, but keeps the books neat and in good order..

If I could hire you, I'd probably even consider you to do copy cataloging. Then you would work in tech services (away from patrons), sitting at a computer, and would enter library materials into the library database.

See I give up this is too hard. Yeah what happen to being a "natural?" yeah right.

Is this it?
