These scores are not computed corrected. I administer these tests everyday and I am very familiar with the WAIS-IV. It is not divided into "verbal vs. nonverbal domains as in the previous editions. Given the cluster scores reported:

Verbal Comprehension: 145
Perceptual Organization: 138
Working Memory: 115
Processing Speed: 111

My interpretation is that this individual is very articulate and has superior verbal cognitive strengths. His perceptual reasoning skills are also within this range however, there is a lot of variation within his performance suggesting relative strengths and weaknesses. Because both his working memory and processing speed fall within the high average range, these areas represent relative weaknesses for him and it may take him a bit longer to process information that is not verbal in nature. I would estimate his Full Scale IQ to be approximately, 127. Because this is within the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM), he is within the "gifted" range...and may still be eligible for Mensa if they adhere to the SEM for Full Scales scores.

"A right solid mate" ya reckon? That sounds a little more like a Pommy (English) phrase to me. We're a bit lazier than that in Australia haha.

I'd simply say 'good mates' (which pretty much translates to brothers). You're going to keep taking the piss out of me now aren't you, but that's ok, I see that's how your mate Sean shows his love for you too (in his summation of your good looks),that's exactly how we show the love towards each other here too.

Your portraits are great. It's amazing how you can get such recognisable detail from just a few simple lines. They're very impressive.

Take care of yourselves Yanks ;)

I enjoyed reading your blog and I will pray for you in hope that you don't give up and always keep your head held up and keep moving forward. It's always good to have a good attitude in life. Life does throw alot at us but nothing we can't handle.

Wow, Allan, this is so profoundly and beautifully written. What you have stated here is what Pema Chodron's Noble Heart is all about: May you be free from suffering and the causes of suffering, may you find happiness and the causes of happiness. I think Noble Heart would indeed be a fine addition to the library.
In Noble Heart, Pema teaches meditation techniques: return to the out breath, discipline (label your thoughts "thinking"), have a sense of openness, and to meditate without expectation, with out hope of fruition. This is to train our minds to be in the present. To realize that our minds are so much huger than the constant discursive, cause/effect, little mind that we mostly live from.
I just finished listening to Noble Heart today (it took me 2 months), and plan to listen again, there is so much to it, I feel like the first time through I just let it wash over me and a few things stuck, but there is a lifetime of learning to be done from here.
You are a true inspiration to me Allan! That you can find the peace of the present moment in prison is monumental.
Would you mind if I posted this on Facebook? I know that it is very personal, but I also know that it is very inspirational and could be helpful to people who are struggling.
Please let me know, thanks.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. It is just my limited technological ability. But now I think I have this figured out.

I am back in Memphis right now. I took 3 traveling assignments: Amherst,MA, Chattanooga and Knoxville. I enjoyed the traveling, and 2 out of 3 jobs. I didn't like the Knoxville job, mostly because I was supervising physical therapy assistants and not allowed the time to do therapy treatments. It was very frustrating to stand by and supervisor mediocre treatment sessions, when I wanted to be treating the patients myself! I won't take a job like that again! I put my house up for sale 2 weeks ago. Once my house sells, I plan to go back to travel therapy. Oregon is definitely on my list! It is nice to be home for a while though. I've gone to church the past few Sundays. There are new faces, old faces, the awesome little choir and Burton's brilliant sermons.

Keep meditating, Keep writing.
Blessings to you,
Lisa
