    I wonder if it would be possible to design a quiz that people wouldn't take. I was pretty close to low which surprised me.
    I think....

    I thought this Test might be of interest to the NP's

    I scored above average but below spectrum.

    A higher than average score that is above the clinical threshold

    as I expected.

    I scored above average but below spectrum.

    I got:

    The average score for the original control group of this test was 16.4 and your score is roughly in line with this, making it highly unlikely that you are suffering from an autistic spectrum disorder. Follow-up research to the original test indicated that a score like yours of 26 or below effectively discounts the possibility of a diagnosis of autism

    which doesn't surprise me, never thought I was autistic at all.

    I got slightly above average. Given that I work in an environment where things are put in order, I see patterns in stuff for my other work and only read non-fiction because there is so much of it that I want to read before I get to fiction, this is not really surprising...

    I've not had any feedback that I can find.... tried making the text tiny .... to see if it'll fit on the screen. Got nothing.... still got the window open so I'll keep poking about.

    I read the other day that teachers are the most prized in Finland, & accordingly it is the highest paid profession in order to attract the best candidates.

    Paying more doesn't get anybody the best candidates... what it gets them is the people with the biggest bit of paper who are "just like" the interview panel.

    :)

    They get NMW. Commission on papers plus leaflets - if that doesn't total NMW for the calculated time then it gets topped up. If it's over NMW, then he got the extra.

    So he could earn a bottle of cider in the same time as an 18 year old - they paid him that rate.

    I didn't know NMW applied to paperboys. It definitely used to be paid low, low, low.... I think it was something like £1/round, which might take up to 1.5 hours. As an hourly rate it never worked out well.

    This is the sort of cake my mother does for weddings, sugar flowers and all. This was for my best mate's wedding:

    Hopefully the people with brains will let you wee again soon, knowing that you didn't wee properly. Hopefully it won't take you three month to get it right :)

    Imagine, 3 months before you can wee again :eek:

    (Yes, I know that's not what is meant, but I couldn't resist ;):p:D )
