Dinner at Djerassi

I’m still up in the hills filling my month long obligation to the Djerassi artist-in-residence program.

Every night at 7pm all of us artists sit down to share some words and a nice meal. Our conversation topics tend to be very dynamic. Last night’s discussion revolved around IQ testing. After some time, we reached a consensus that the standardized IQ test is dated and a new formula needs to be instituted.

We propose a two-part examination – 25 consecutive games of the age-old game of Simon followed by 25 games of Dance Dance Revolution (this could also serve as part of the presidential fitness test for high school students). The test taker’s mean score would represent their IQ level. Alternatives will be made for the physically challenged.

If you have some free time today or would like to procrastinate, you should play a few games of Simon. Please visit fetchfido’s site.

And if you have no idea what Dance Dance Revolution is, you can gain some valuable insight at DDR Freak. I have a horrible fear of dancing directly in front of people; I would hope the IQ test would be issued in private or at least in front of a two way mirror so it would appear like nobody is there.
