Iq_certificate_1 For the very first time to take an IQ test on line is quite exciting. The test is quite similar to the exam given by companies for hiring staff. The only difference is that the on-line test gives your IQ level  and compare it to other people who took the test. The on-line IQ test offered by www.tickle.com/tests provides the most thorough and scientifically accurate IQ test on the web - it’s free, private and developed by PhDs. According to tickle that there’s more to intelligence than a single number, a single score or a single label. Tickle uses four distinguishable Intelligence Scales, namely: mathematical intelligence, visual-spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence, and logic intelligence. By analysing the individual scores on those four dimensions, Tickle is able to look beyond the raw IQ score into how you process information and thereby determine individual intellectual type.
Im quite fortunate to get my IQ report free of charge., otherwise I have to purchase it from Tickle. I got it free because I was the top-scorer (maybe on the day I took the exam, I dont know) having a score of 117. Most of the people are between 70 and 130.
According to the result, my intellectual type is a Visual Mathematican. It means that I have a strong ability to process visual-spatial and mathematical information, including my strength in logic. Specifically, my mathematical intellgence scale is 80% which means that my score is higher than 70-80% of people who took the test and 20-30% scored higher than me. My visual-spatial intelligence is 100%;  linguistic intelligence is 30% (which is my weak point) and logical intelligence of 80%. This is really a good yardstick to help me improve my talents.
Tickle also provides other tests concerning career, family, relationship, education and lifestyle. I encourage everyone to visit the site and take some of the tests you like. Good luck and enjoy!

Reading the book of the British writer, Richard Templar entitled ‘The Rules of Life’ (2006) inspired me to write my own rules - a very personal code  of my 40 years of living. This is not something to prescribe and preach to my readers but rather sharing my thoughts on how i survive and making (still on-going) my life better, happier and more fulfilling and rewarding. This is also a reminder for me to be more focused of what Im want in life, to monitor my personal progress and something to live up to. Hopefully, I will add one rule every year just to show that Im alive and survive another year. Accordingly I will be able to post a discussion for each rule how it applies to me or maybe to you as well. In summary, I personally encourage you to find out what behind the ‘first letter’ of each rule tells you after ticking-out the rest of the first letters from the 40 rules.

Rule 1: T-hank God for everything; Rule 2: H-ome is the beginning of everything; Rule 3: E-mbrace life with open heart and mind; Rule 4: R-ead, (w)rite, and recite (3Rs); Rule 5: U-se your potentials; Rule 6: L-ove your parents and grandparents; Rule 7: E-xplore and be adventorous; Rule 8: S-ing a song, have a beat to dance and cook a meal; Rule 9: O-bserve, learn and remember; Rule 10: F-riendship saves life;

Rule 11: M-otivation comes first, then commitment; Rule 12: Y-esterday is the past, today is now; Rule 13: S-uccess is temporal, savour it with gusto; Rule 14: I-mperfection always need a room for improvement; Rule 15: M-arriage is a choice not compulsory (not for everyone); Rule 16: P-ray and have time to listen to Him; Rule 17: L-ove your friends and neighbors; Rule 18: E-ducation is pricelss; Rule 19: L-earn to accept criticism and defeat; Rule 20: I-nnovation comes freom imitation;

Rule 21: F-ailure exists with success, Rule 22: E-njoy your work and have time to play; Rule 23: T-raveling makes life refreshing; Rule 24: H-obbies do not have rules; Rule 25: I-nitiate rather than wait; Rule 26: N-ever underestimate yourself; Rule 27: K-eep a healthy mind and body; Rule 28: P-raise and reward yourself; Rule 29: O-bey your conscience;

Rule 30: S-hare a smile; Rule 31: I-nvite a good conversation with strangers; Rule 32: T-ake a risk and feel the difference; Rule 33: I-gnorance leads to discovery; Rule 34: V-oice-out if you need help; Rule 35: E-verything has reasons; Rule 36: Y-outhful attitude brings life back to life; Rule 37: O-uch, it hurts; Rule 38: U-niversity (school) treats as our second home; Rule 39: N-ever give-up, move on; and Rule 40: G-od is in-charge, enjoy the ride.
