Hmmm. I guess this somewhat explains why my brother, who is a pretty damn good jazz musician if I do say so as a proud big sis, is better at math. I apparently didn't get the math or music gene.
About the IQ test - well, I kind of see how the testing part might not work as well on a kid that's got different societal expectations weighing in on things, but how does that work?
I knew about the bits with the activity - once in chem 1 the notes got delayed a whole day because everyone wanted to talk about EKG scans that had been in the slideshow. (It was kind of a "this is your brain, this is your brain on drugs," comparison slide, and we spent a good half hour trying to figure out whether or not the picture was really of a rat's brain. It was.)
