emotionally speaking

This is all I have to give right now. I'm on the mend, for those inquiring.

By the way, I have a new little blog bling on my sidebar. Apparently, I'm a thinker and it's contagious. I have been awarded by the amazing RedNeck Mommy.

I'm very thankful to accept this and now I must award five others upon acceptance (see the official rules and go get your own bling here). These are people that make you go, "Hmmmmm" or better yet, "darn it, I wish I posted that!"

When you nominate, your winners are not necessarily to be your best friends, or favorite links..of course, unless they are your best friends and favorite links that make you think. (post note: My closest friends usually make me laugh and wet myself)

Congratulations to my winners of The Thinking Awards:
  1. Jeremiah from Jeremiah's School of Levitation
  2. JLR at Impatient Chicken
  3. Harmonica Man over at View From The Cloud
  4. Pattie at Stolen Moments
  5. Gwynee at The Shallow End
Yipee!!!

and now for something completely different......


Your EQ is 140

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Would you believe I just had my students in my Intro Psych class go online and take this Emotional IQ test to discuss validy and reliability ;)

Jenn said...

well, what do you think? hehe....

McBunni said...

I got a 73. Great.

Jenn said...

oh, nooooooooooooo, mcbunni, you must test again. Really???

Dave said...

Emma,

Just stab me with your switch blade, I can't believe I didn't make the top five. Don't worry, I'll try harder.

Dave said...

147, I already knew this.

Gwynne said...

Well, first, I'd like to thank my mother and my father, and all who have believed in me even when...

uh, let's not go there...

You chose me? Really?!? You're a sweetheart. :-) It was the slimy dog toy, wasn't it?

Now if I can just figure out how to get the bling. Irony, heh.

Badoozie said...

mine was 133, but I think it might be skewed, I was pretty sure which answer would net a lower score on each question. what else were we talking about? thinking? I don't do that.

JLR said...

EEEEEEEeeeee! I am so honored! I don't have a speech prepared . . . but I want to thank everyone made me who I am today. [get-off-the-stage music playing in the background]

And I'd just like to say, back at ya, babe!

And now I'm going to go take that quiz. Glad you are getting better, if only gradually so.

Jeff said...

Sweet! Thank you!

It has to be the fact that I've posted 3 poop-related stories in the last 6 weeks (I'm in competition with Badoozie). Poop will definitely make you think.

Badoozie said...

POOOOOOPay

Jeremiah said...

Whoa, how cool. Not because of the honor, but because of who dished it out. Your words inspire my own, Miss Emma. Long may you rock! And, for goodness sake, flush already!

Dapoppins said...

sniff...no one ever chooses me for anything....and i will not take another darn IQ test! you know I couldn't pass a test with my eyes closed.

The Domesticator said...

Wow! I am so honored and humbled...thank you so much! :)
I have not been good about blogging of late, so I must go check that award out later and figure out what I must do to pass on the good cheer.

I took that test...I got 153...I guess I am a dirty liar *LOL*
Have a great day.

wessexcathedral@gmail.com said...

I got 140 exactly like you. Weird.

I guess we are both in tune to our emotions!

eyes_only4him said...

i got the same as u on that quiz, I thought i was more cold hearted then that..hehe

McBunni said...

Ok, I lied and got a 180. How's that? Hee hee!

Granny said...

91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that

I was 100 but I could have truthfully answered some of those questions differently. I don't see much in black or white. Usually I see far too many shades of gray and it skews the results.

Redneck Mommy said...

Congrats to you Emma...

Now, I have to go take an EQ test and find out how intelligent my emotions are and then I'm off to check out your linky love!

Karl said...

Wow, I rate an 87. I'm a Neanderthal, apparently.

Leslee said...

hmm... i got 153. did i lie or did out dr phil dr phil?
