One-Question Sensor/Intuitive Test

haha! imma teach you how to skim

What's the point in reading then if you're not really reading?

Attention all posters:

It doesn't say anything about reading, eating, or eating while reading, or reading while eating, or what kind of books and foods you prefer.

It just says -

1. food
2. book

haha, i can't retain large chunks of information either. ap bio is the reason why i didn't go to a better university and ochem was the reason i didn't become a doctor. i just couldn't keep all the reactions straight. doesn't prevent me from living in books, though. what are you reading?

Nothing, it's frustrating because I promise on my future grave that my memory was better.

are you kidding? the experience is all about what thoughts, revelations, and insights the material provokes...not about reading every word.

Good God...

haha! sorry mal, i didn't mean to add to the confusion. it's just my extroverted self can't resist when there's interesting comments being made. my apologies.

 

[Honor]

PEOPLE. you heard, mal. FOOD OR BOOK. the rest is irrelevant side conversation.

 

[HongDou]

But if you skim then you might miss words that provoke certain thoughts/revelations/insights.

you will for sure! that's why when you read it the second time, you'll have a completely different experience. and that's why i re-read books i like all the time.

 

[HongDou]

Good God...

Hey man, my "gut instinct" (which is what you are looking for) translated that as "eat food" or "read a book." If you want to prevent thoughts like that then I'd prompt the reader beforehand instead of just listing two words as vaguely as possible.

But then you already know what happens the second time around and those additional thoughts you have may not be as mindblowing!

 

[Totenkindly]

If we make you eat your words, does that blow the test?

(ha ha, see what I did there?)

hmm, i find that knowing the ending doesn't kill it for me. but you know who is probably dying? mal. his head is probably exploding from all of our distracting posts. hahaha!

How about this then:

1. food for the stomach.
2. food for the mind.

Food for the mind for sure!

I was wondering where books about food fit in on the spectrum... or edible books

You'd be easy to buy for.

 

[hjgbujhghg]

Over-thinking. It doesn't say "read a book," and it doesn't say "eat some food."

So I should eat the book?

 

[Mal12345]

So I should eat the book?

Figuratively.

 

[Standuble]

Whether I prefer food or a book depends ultimately on a) the food available and b) the books available. Whichever is the best remedy for boredom is the path selected.

Does this mean I switch between S and N?
