Dec. 27, 2006 - My children's talents
I'm found this site from cathmom's blog.
So I'm going to take a quiz for each child and see if I learn anything new.
Tori first, 11yo:
Your child has a great analytical ability. You may be living with the next Einstein, Marie Curie, or Bill Gates. Your child likes to categorize things, places, and looks for interrelationships between ideas, things and activities. They like computers, science and math.
Activities she might enjoy: Puzzles, logic games, chess and checkers, chemistry sets, and science kits.
Ding, ding, ding. She does do really well in math... although she pretends she doesn't like it. (That's just laziness... she doesn't want to do the work, but she does well when she does it.) She tried to get anyone and everyone to play checkers with her. Or Monopoly. Ü
Mansel, 7yo:
Your child has exceptional linguistic ability. Your child could be the next president. Also, your child may be the next Dale Carnegie, Dr. Seuss, or JK Rowland.
Your child can hear things and remember them easily. They are often advanced readers and learn to talk quickly. They enjoy telling stories. They learn other languages easily. They can generalize how their language is put together in written and spoken form readily.
Word games such as scrabble, crossword puzzles, anagrams, spelling games and most of all, reading.
Your child will probably start writing at a young age, so have plenty of pencils, crayons, and paper handy.
Oh WOW. That is amazing how they nailed him. I really did notice a difference since I started schooling him. Funny to see how fast he has learned to read. Once again -- he'd rather be playing outside, than reading... but he really picked it up quickly, and is excited that the First Grade Pathway Reader is "easy". Ü Like Jeanne said, he couldn't be the NEXT president, because he is only 7. Too funny...
Although -- he did NOT learn to talk quickly. He didn't talk until after the age of 2. But once he learned, there was no stopping. It did say it wasn't a scientific study. LOL
Now the next child is totally different then Mansel -- it will be interesting to see what the quiz says about him.
Milo, 5yo:
Your child has strong spatial ability. Your may be living with the next famous astronomer such as Carl Sagin or the next cutting edge artist such as Picasso or Frida Kahlo.
These children can spot everything, including candy hidden behind your back. They know where everything is located in the house. They are great at finding lost items for other family members. They think in pictures and forms. These
children enjoy jigsaw puzzles, mazes, and art activities. They draw proportions very accurately, and like to design using paper and pencil, clay, and visual art activities. They love illustrations in picture books, video games, movies, and photographs.
I knew he was different then Mansel, but I wouldn't have guessed he was a Picasso.
Danielle, 3yo:
Your child has strong spatial ability. Your may be living with the next famous astronomer such as Carl Sagin or the next cutting edge artist such as Picasso or Frida Kahlo.
These children can spot everything, including candy hidden behind your back. They know where everything is located in the house. They are great at finding lost items for other family members. They think in pictures and forms.
Hmmm... that's interesting... the same as Milo. I'll have to watch them, and see if this is true or not.
Wayne, 1yo: I wonder if he is too young for this. I would think so. But we'll see.
OK -- yeah... too young. He's not talking yet, nor have we taken him to the beach. LOL
So -- how do your children rate? Is it fairly accurate for them? Learn anything new?
Thanks for sharing that site Jeanne!
