As a serious response to the original question, although I did laugh at the previous posts........... don't worry for one minute about the psycho testing. If you are not a pedofile, murderer, insane nutcase, or George W Bush supporter, then you will breeze thru it without question. Its just a bunch of questions that you should answer honestly. I can remember so many questions where I thought.......... Does anyone answer YES to this question? Or NO in other cases. Its designed to weed out the obviously deluded individuals with severe psychological problems, who would view each question in a different manner than the vast majority of individuals.
If you have a deficiency in English, I could see it being a potential problem, but otherwise, answer honestly. You have nothing to worry about unless you fit into a category, that quite frankly means you shouldn't be flying planes anyhow.
The only recourse from these tests are that they MIGHT suggest you work on certain areas of your personality as you approach upgrade.

You will be surprised on how accurate this test is on profiling your personality. Now I know that I really really like guns and I think that George Bush is really just poor misunderstood Texan with a superiority complex.
By the way I didn't get the job, I don't know why!

In looking at perhaps the last 20 posts by Mensaboy, he always makes a reference to GWB. I'm not a psychologist, but it sure sounds to me like our friend Mensaboy probably plays with himself while imagining GWB and himself tip-toeing through the tulips after a nice picnic by the riverside on a lovely summer afternoon. 
Perhaps Mensaboy should be re-sit the psychometrics test...maybe then we'll know for sure!

Yes, the thought of the rugged, 6'1", 190 lbs. Mr. Bush wrestling him to the ground and forcing him to squeal like a pig is simply too much for the Littlest Canuck. He gets all giggly thinking about it.

Dear Big Man OJGuilty,
God I love goading you. You are priceless. Having looked at your last posts, I know for a fact you have serious issues. Thanks for the encouragement, thought perhaps you had given up with your mindless retorts to my factual posts.
Ooooh, here's another opportunity to take a shot at your voting choice. GWB as you state in one of your other emotional and disturbing posts is truly a 6'1 190lb ''MAN''. What is your obsession with physical size, are you perhaps a tad lacking in some areas?...other than the obvious intelligence deficiency, that is.
It sure takes a BIG MAN to send 1000's of dedicated and honorable men to their deaths based on lies, sheer stupidity and personal agendas. Congratulations on your choice of someone to lead your nation from one of the most respected with a vibrant economy and a vision, to one of that is no longer respected and despised with an economy headed for disaster. All in less than 8 years........ WOW, that is impressive !!!
Recently, and I won't even get into consistent events leading up to these,
'Scooter Libby' takes the fall for Kyle Rove, then is basically pardoned by GWB.
Kyle Rove deserts the sinking ship, in hopes that he won't be held accountable in the future.
Rove, through GWB reveals a CIA operative who's husband had the audacity to criticize his government.
Gonzales (the highest legal athority in the nation) continues to purjure himself to Congress at the behest of GWB and his government.
Recent FED injections of $ in the markets are an attempt to 'delay' the inevitable until after the next election.
My god man, many of the Republicans are actually standing up and distancing themselves from GWB.......... that is astonishing.
I would have SOME respect for you, even after your childish posts if you could at least admit that GWB is the biggest mistake the USA has made in its entire history. Or perhaps if you could at least attempt an educated response to facts. But clearly that is beyond your intellectual capabilities.
Pls feel free to continue with your 'homosexual' and physical stature innuendos. I really get a kick out of you, but sadly in the big picture, I am worried for your nation and also for the repercussions for the rest of the world. But I guess that highlites the difference between you and I. Most people can admit when they screw up and take no personal offence to factual arguments.
My apologies once again, to those Americans and anyone else who may have felt I have gone a bit overboard in the past, but to you OJGuilty, I am truly enjoying your tantrums after you search out my posts and then furiously post your inadequacies for all the world to witness.
Do you walk around with your arms turned forward, chest puffed out, speaking in monosyllabic, unintelligible sentences, as your beloved President has so mastered? Oh of course you do. I hope you aren't trying to ambush me 'after school' and show me a lesson with your massiveness. Oh pls don't hurt me, you putz!
I feel bad for the vast majority of Yanks, who read this and are just 'wishing' you would shut up and stop making an ass out of yourself. Yes I am the first to admit that most Americans are wonderful people, sadly the bigmouths and least informed sometimes give the rest a bad name.
I have come to realize in discussions with Americans over the past few months, that most are ashamed of GWB, and I was wrong to assume that 'HALF" of Americans were complicite in what has occured over the past 7 years. And for that I am sorry. But it is because of the likes of you OJ, why a BIG MAN like GWB has been allowed to ruin what was probably one of the best places on the planet. Never in history has there been an outcry on a webpage or in print, for a country, organization or corporation where such a high percentage of individuals come right out and say.......... ''WE'RE SORRY'', as the one immediately after GWB's 2nd election to office. The first election was criminal, the 2nd was shocking. But at least most educated and informed people in the USA are in agreement about that. Let's just wait and see if those elected to office next year can undo or at least mitigate what has happened during GWB's tenure. God I hope so for your fellow countrymen. You OJ definitely deserve GWB but I realize now that most Americans don't.

And how much time did you devote to that "stinging" rebuttal, Little One?
It is sad yet illustrative that you react to webboard slights with the same Napoleonic overreaction we see in the cockpit when you are given any sort of correction or criticism.
I couldn't care less about your political views, big guy, maybe because I didn't exactly find you to be genius material when we worked a trip. You are basically a not-very-well read toad who likes to pose as an expert on all manner of subjects. An all too common symptom of short man complex, sad to say. By the way, Einstein, there may be a Kyle Rove working in a pizzaria or 7-11 somewhere, but the guy who worked for Bush is Karl Rove.
Being a fraud, you typically react to the responses you get on this forum with the canard that we Americans can't stand criticism of Bush. Yet we all know that this webboard tussle began over your slamming of the yank pilots at EK, and that is what we reacted to. Despite your lying denial that you are Canadian, we quickly found out who you are. Then the real facts started coming out.
You are well known to us as the oversensitive shrimp who can't take criticism. The stories passing through the grapevine paint a pathetic picture.
Well, guess what, little fella? If you can't stand up to a little constructive input then find another job. We came here from real airlines, unlike yourself, and we're not going to shy away from telling it like it is because some maladjusted Canuck dwarf can't take it. We're going to keep doing our job. Do yours, or hit the road.

Dear 'Mensa':
Isn't it galling when you know you are the only one that is right but no one else can see how brilliant you are? Trust me, I know.
Anyway, if you can see past that throbbing vein over your left eyebrow, have a look down below. This is the resignation speech you are looking forward to, and there are millions of us who will give it a standing ovation.
President Bush's Resignation Speech (Draft Copy)
Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow Americans." I'm not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.
I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office. The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out.
Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton Administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in.
Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security.
We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this "blood for oil" thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied People Died' crap either. If I was the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ' Clinton ' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you?
You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them. That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you. And the bastards are all over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor'.
Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.
Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, damn it, you might just as well Fedex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing.
In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol. I could say more about your expectations that the Government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.
So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.
Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there're just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008.
So that's it. God bless what's left of America . Some of you know what I mean.
Anyway, if you can see past that throbbing vein over your left eyebrow, have a look down below. This is the resignation speech you are looking forward to, and there are millions of us who will give it a standing ovation.

I enjoyed reading your post Drop, I don't agree with it but at least you make an argument.
If you don't mind, I'd like to comment on a few things you write.
''Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow Americans." I'm not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer. ''
'' I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.''
That is about as honest as his assertion of WMD in Iraq. Or his claim that Gonzales has done nothing illegal.
''The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out. ''
So GWB believes American is no longer a great nation??
''Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton Administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in. ''
7 million forclosures forcast on homeowners in the next 2 years, the bubble is about to burst on his economic policies in my opinion. Bankruptcies at an all time high.
''Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security. ''
Well the market better have increased in 7 years !! Gas prices are low in the USA. A small handful of noisy idiots are worried about climate change??? Economic security??? the Chinese could ruin the American and world economy simply by selling off their trillions in US backed securities, as they just threatened to do last week.
''We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this "blood for oil" thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied People Died' crap either. If I was the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ' Clinton ' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you? ''
Isn't it the Commander in Chiefs responsibility for verifying intelligence instead of altering it to suit his needs? Wasn't the whole 'pre-war' aluminum canister, and nuclear procurement stories, which have subsequently been proven to be fabrications of his administration, enough evidence that he duped everyone? Are you suggesting that actually 'planting WMD' in Iraq was possible? Remember when he claimed that they found 'pre-cursors' to WMD and that was then enough for the media to jump all over, thereby justifying the war... at least for a couple of years anyhow.
And no, the rest of the world didn't think they had WMD, as evidenced by the UN's refusal to sanction war against Iraq. Even the 'intelligence' community in the US didn't think they had WMD, hence so many individuals threatened or fired if they made their beliefs known.
As for Clinton's regime change policy, yes that is true, but it did not include WAR. I suspect there are SEVERAL 'regime change' policies in effect during any Presidency, but that usually only involves economic and political pressures, not outright WAR.
''You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them. That's not the case this time.

Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Now it is the recruiting grounds for misguided and generally screwed up fanatics. The latest 'intelligence' report says that Al Qaeda is now stronger that it was post 9/11. It is not a safer world since the invasion and subsequent deaths of thousands of American soldiers, not to mention 10x that amount of civilians.
9/11 was the excuse GWB was looking for, to invade Iraq.
''Instead, you've grown impatient. You're incapable of seeing things through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do. You think that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops. ''
''Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy. Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, damn it, you might just as well Fedex a grenade launcher to a Jihadist. It amounts to the same thing. ''
Ah yes, the Republican propaganda machine at work. Republicans= security Democratics= Terrorism
''In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over the Internet. It just isn't on the pages of the New York Times or on NBC News. But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of you would rather watch American Idol. I could say more about your expectations that the Government will always be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city that's below sea level and has a hurricane approaching. I could say more about your insane belief that government, not your own wallet, is where the money comes from. But I've come to the conclusion that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads. ''
Ouch, so Americans are stupid?? By inference you are stating that GWB is intelligent? Very comical, thanks for that one.
So I quit. I'm going back to Crawford. I've got an energy-efficient house down there (Al Gore could only dream) and the capability to be fully self-sufficient. No one ever heard of Crawford before I got elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear of it again. Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the last pillars of America fall.
Yup GWB is totally in tune with Climate change. Kind of contradicts your statement about ''a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security. '' Amazing that you could even suggest that GWB is concerned about the environment. An energy efficient house, bought from the unbelievable wealth of the Bush family, does nothing to erase years of policies that have ignored growing concerns about climate change and in fact, until very recently, have refutted what the scientific community is in total agreement over.
''Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. That means Pelosi is your new President. You asked for it. Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer of hope that there're just enough of you remaining who are smart enough to turn this thing around in 2008. ''
''So that's it. God bless what's left of America . Some of you know what I mean. ''
No comment.
If you don't mind, I'd like to comment on a few things you write.
''Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow Americans." I'm not doing it this time. If the polls are any indication, I don't know who more than half of you are anymore. I do know something terrible has happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer. ''
'' I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit. Now before anyone gets all in a lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution or something, let me assure you: there's been no breaking of laws or impeachable offenses in this office.''
That is about as honest as his assertion of WMD in Iraq. Or his claim that Gonzales has done nothing illegal.
''The reason I'm quitting is simple. I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the world. Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours. And the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure it out. ''
So GWB believes American is no longer a great nation??
''Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and the news media. Polls show that the majority of you think the economy is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners. And while we're mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership is at an all-time high. Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was during the Clinton Administration. I've mentioned all those things before, but it doesn't seem to have sunk in. ''
7 million forclosures forcast on homeowners in the next 2 years, the bubble is about to burst on his economic policies in my opinion. Bankruptcies at an all time high.
''Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these markets. Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and beachfront property than your economic security. ''
Well the market better have increased in 7 years !! Gas prices are low in the USA. A small handful of noisy idiots are worried about climate change??? Economic security??? the Chinese could ruin the American and world economy simply by selling off their trillions in US backed securities, as they just threatened to do last week.
''We face real threats in the world. Don't give me this "blood for oil" thing. If I was trading blood for oil I would've already seized Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell. And don't give me this 'Bush Lied People Died' crap either. If I was the liar you morons take me for, I could've easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 'discovered.' Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the goods, same as me. Let me also remind you that regime change in Iraq was official US policy before I came into office. Some guy named ' Clinton ' established that policy. Bet you didn't know that, did you? ''
Isn't it the Commander in Chiefs responsibility for verifying intelligence instead of altering it to suit his needs? Wasn't the whole 'pre-war' aluminum canister, and nuclear procurement stories, which have subsequently been proven to be fabrications of his administration, enough evidence that he duped everyone? Are you suggesting that actually 'planting WMD' in Iraq was possible? Remember when he claimed that they found 'pre-cursors' to WMD and that was then enough for the media to jump all over, thereby justifying the war... at least for a couple of years anyhow.
And no, the rest of the world didn't think they had WMD, as evidenced by the UN's refusal to sanction war against Iraq. Even the 'intelligence' community in the US didn't think they had WMD, hence so many individuals threatened or fired if they made their beliefs known.
As for Clinton's regime change policy, yes that is true, but it did not include WAR. I suspect there are SEVERAL 'regime change' policies in effect during any Presidency, but that usually only involves economic and political pressures, not outright WAR.
''You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic models squaring off. We won that war, but we did so because fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do. We were simply able to outspend and out-tech them. That's not the case this time. The soldiers of our new enemy don't care if they survive. In fact, they want to die. That'd be fine, as long as they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they can. But they are. They want to kill you. And the bastards are all over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more of us here in the United States since September 11. But you're not. That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of intelligence, military, law enforcement and homeland security people have worked to make sure of that. When this whole mess started, I warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight. I'm disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight amounts to a single season of 'Survivor'. ''
I totally agree with your assertions there DROP, except I believe that his administrations' tactics were flawed. Afghanistan war= good idea Iraq war= bad idea
