I was unable to take the test seriously.

This shit makes me sick. It's basically a self-congratulatory checklist of subjective traits that everyone's going to think applies to them. And then they get rewarded with a "special" title that makes them think they're God's gift to earth, and that people don't dislike them because the unwashed masses are "unevolved" - when in reality, it's because they're pretentious asshats.
There's nothing wrong with thinking you're special. There is something wrong with thinking you're superior to others.
That seriously made me laugh! The purest of indigos! XD
Exactly! In my light research into indigos, a lot of it was about various schemes devised to fleece as many as possible. Rather sad actually. I understand the appeal in people wanting to find comfort in parapsychological science, but wow, seeing how many scam stories there were, it was certainly disheartening.
I think it's horse-donkey-croccodile shit
It's a label used by parents who cannot accept that their children have faults.
Let me just say I strongly agree with these statements.Either that or they're desperate for attention and use their children as sock puppets.
You say that like it's a bad thing. That sounds like a fantastic idea - social skills are critical for pretty much any career you can imagine, as well as a happy life outside of a career....improving weak spots is a much wiser idea than celebrating real, harmful weaknesses as being "different". Not to be confused with being mean, at all, but some amount of realism is necessary for a good outcome in the long run...The thing is that everything you are saying can be applied when flipped to many other gifted children, ones that you consider "really gifted".
For example the exceptional maths pupil who has social difficulties...shall we take them to social classes because it is a fault or negative trait of theirs?
Let me just say I strongly agree with these statements.
So do the harbingers of the "New Age".

What?
I agree with this. You just have to find a good balance.Realism yes, unhealthy and negative critisism no.
I know which i have seen more of in this thread.
My point would be to concentrate on the area's that children excel in.
Yes you may work on the areas they have difficulty with too but to put too much focus on these areas of difficulty is a recipie for disaster.
lol... I suppose there are a few jobs where you can earn money over the internet, but they are few and far between. In the real world, even for a job where you never interact with other humans (rare enough), you will still have to pass an interview where most interviewers still care about rudimentary social skills. Even just communicating your own brilliance to an interviewer falls under "social skills". So yes, social skills are still critical despite the age of the internets.And how silly of you to think that social skills are "critical" for pretty much any career you can imagine.
We are in the age of da internetz.
I have no idea what you are talking about.I didn't think it was that hard to follow.
Sure....how on earth does that mean that the harbingers of the New Age would agree that the idea of Indigo children is (insert negative opinions here)??The idea of the Indigo children is a New Age one; Indigo children are thought to be bringers of the New Age and Higher Consciousness. Imagine... it's not a far cry from a bunch of little Jesus's running around. I think these are the children Smileyman and I are referring to. Hippy Dippy parents label them as such, which resembles a twisted form of the same drive a parent might have to lift their children up to "Honor Roll" student.

But seriously, you just missed out this huge section of employment called self employment and the rising trend of online home businesses.
Approx 10 million self employed in the states. ..and rising (see link).
I believe a large portion would be working online from home.
