IQ test do Not Measure your thinking ability

IQ tests do NOT measure your ability to solve problems

This software comes close.

I am excited about this simple computer game. I found a very old version of a Japanese computer game called Sokoban and I love it. You can google it and get a copy, Its free. It measures your ability to think. Solve problems and see relationships.

Only the overreaching definitions of the two principal name spaces in the Internet, the Internet Protocol address space and the Domain Name System, are directed by a maintainer organization, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

Free Enterprise Examples of Future Education Considered - by Lance Winslow

What Will Higher Education Look Like in the Future?

Reviews

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me.
