everyone talks about that one xkcd about experts overestimating the average person's familiarity with their field, and that's all fun and good. but in my experience what's far funnier is when you start to think of yourself as the "average" person being described in that comic. knowing enough people who are so incredibly into one specific thing that you start saying shit that sounds like "oh no i'm no geochemist haha i really only know the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars. and quartz, of course."
#me about movies#oh i really don’t know anything about french new wave#i’ve only seen some varda and tati and demy#and godard of course#(and melville though his status as part of the movement is a little dubious – i include him anyway)

side quests from my dad: hey bud, can you identify this lizard? can you research search engine optimization for my business?
side quests from my mom: I need you to go into my downstairs closet. There is a crawlspace behind the shoe rack. Inside the crawlspace there is a cardboard Crown Royal box from the liquor store. Inside the box there are a number of cardigans I have not worn since the 1980s, you must find the navy blue one from Talbots and check the pockets. Your great grandfather’s suicide note and art deco ruby ring should be inside the right breast pocket. Have you located it? Can you use the cypher on the ring to transcribe great grandpa’s final message?

So I don’t want to derail from the overall positive message of this post, which is that autism is not new and that autistic people have always existed. But… I am losing my mind a little bit at the implication that allistic people don’t have hobbies or collections??? Like sure, the model train neighbour who sent a 40-page letter to the city about the brightness of the street lights was probably autistic, but for every guy like him, there are also a thousand very neurotypical people who are avidly into scrapbooking, or gardening, or collecting bottle tops, and no amount of engagement with those hobbies is ever going to make them ND. The kids who relentlessly bullied me in the 90s for being “weird” collected just as many Trolls dolls as I did, and their cruelty was often learned from mothers with shelves full of Precious Moments figurines and fathers with bound albums of Topps trading cards. There were teachers at my school who had zero patience for the neurodivergent kids in their classrooms, despite having a fridge at home covered in poodle magnets, and troop leaders who devoted their entire identities to scouting, yet never hesitated to kick out any kids who could “act normal.” And while I would definitely wager to guess that the number of autistic people in hobbyist and collector groups is disproportionately higher than it is in the general population, to imply that somebody is on the spectrum simply because they love purple decor or birdwatching is frankly insane, and not doing those of us in autistic community any favours.

AUGH THE PERSONALITY TESTS. When I was still in college I took a workplace competencies class (gag me) and we had to do the “iAM” tests to get sorted into colours - feel free to search that up and see how ridiculously corporate that was. It’s so batty, like people already don’t take corporate environments seriously! Those tests are one of the reasons why!!!
"workplace competencies," nice! beautifully vague. the one i'm taking is called "professional formation" and 90% of it has been stuff like "be careful when sending emails."
that iMA test looks like an incredible example of the genre – only ten questions and it knows all about you! at that point i might be less offended by open use of astrology.
#TEN. TEN QUESTIONS.#the one i just took had the decency to have a whole 240 – though most were asked multiple times with a word or two changed.#biting biting biting etc#hate having my time wasted by these things#had a boss once who was CONVINCED that this one quiz he took in like his 30s was The Answer#it was apparently the catalyst for him understanding that there was nothing wrong with him just bc he struggled with some things#sad that it took until his 30s and a corporate personality test to figure that one out#he was very eager to share his enlightenment and made us all take it and then share our answers in a staff meeting#interesting because he clearly was the target audience for that kind of thing. profoundly annoying as his employee#chatterbox tag

the wise and all-knowing quiz ranked my "hope" at 20th out of 24 traits and my "spirituality" last. This just in folks, i don't expect the best in the future and work to achieve it and i don't have coherent beliefs about the higher purpose and meaning of the universe.
what kind of shit do they put in self-reporting personality tests that makes so many otherwise intelligent people take them seriously
#the VIA survey of character traits quiz – you can find PDFs of the questions online if you want a laugh#if my profs for this class show ANY signs of taking this AT ALL seriously i'm showing up at their office hours to read them the riot act#might do it anyway because the results for this quiz are transparently meaningless gibberish#if they try the “oh we just want people to reflect! it's a tool for reflection!” i will bite them#im taking this all a little too seriously but i hate when people think they can understand people through 'personality tests'#i already have enough trouble making myself understood don't make it worse for both of us by applying arbitrary & sometimes offensive#external standards#chatterbox tag#the law

#have to take one of these dumbfuck things for a class#i've never seen such drivel in my life#astrology for business majors#is the sentence “my friends tell me i am a strong but fair leader” -#-“very much like me” “like me” “neutral” “unlike me” “very much unlike me”#who sees value in this. why do they see value in this. this is such transparent idiocy.#the law#chatterbox tag#like. how much am i supposed to game this for a good result.#i love trying to guess how much value my profs assign to this shit#have to guess what result will have them treating me like a gemini or whatever it is astrology people think is bad
