fewh. The word battery is very manifold in its meaning. I like a word that can pack such a definitive punch.

Anyway, earlier this week I took the US Air Force DLAB on advice from my recruiter- http://usmilitary.about.com/cs/joiningup/a/dlab.htm. It's a funny test. Unlike any I have taken before. It measures your ability to learn new languages and work as a linguist or cryptologist. During the test, you are given a gibberish language that you learn, translate, and manipulate. You can't quite study for this test. All I did was revived the parts of speech and took this practice test- http://mylittlepwnies.com/dlab/sample.html0 . I ended up getting a 118 with the highest possible score being 176. My score is considered strong and I now have clearance to be trained as a linguist in level 3 and above languages. Pretty sweet, if you ask me. I think my learning style was what really helped on the DLAB. Since a large part of the test is audible, me being an audio learner was beyond beneficial. All in all, it was a fun way to spend the morning and a fantastic excuse to skip my morning classes (grrr me and my LC higher education are at odds right now, but I'll save that rant for another time).
