Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.
- Peter Schmies Word Classification Test
- I conducted a research into higher human intelligence during 2005-2009 by interviewing many college undergraduates and a few people from industries.
- I continued similar projects even when the Peter Schmies text version of detailed analogies test was no longer available in 2018-2025.
- By returning to basics of pencil and paper with Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon for Deux Ex Machina: I realised in February, 2025, that it was almost impossible to clear this objective Words Classification Test ( where you needed to guess if words were similar, opposite or you were making a wild guess.)
- Siddhanta: fundamental: words are sounds in the wild without any inherent meaning in them. In other words: it’s difficult to read a dictionary than reading fiction.
- From the viewpoint of a Grammarian , Author or Lexicographer: fiction is merely a context for interpretation of new word roots, new meanings, new associations.
- The first law of remembering and retaining words is to merely repeat it often enough.
- The second law is associating is with many profound ideas.
- Being able to clear Peter Schmies Word Classification Test removes many curses for example.
- Working in some libraries , for example, is almost impossible because of the banned versions or prohibitions.
- During 2018-2025, another strange thing was taking help from James Harbeck, Sesquiotica fame, who had let me publish a guest article on his weblog earlier. I had introduced his work on Blogging101Alumni website sponsored by Automattic.
- Every time I tried to clear the ceiling of 16 errors until 2060, I used to commit a few errors before reaching the score of 1000 on UNWFP Free Rice Vocabulary Test site which was developed by Josh Breen.
- I decided to make these tests open sources in order to crack them as Rick Rosner of Mega Society had indicated in the Mega Society journal.
- During 2025 January and February this bugged website was unable to maintain itself.
- Collins dictionary was only resource which helped.
- Who was Fredrick Berchtold if not Pope?
- Proselytism in the name of education might work in the short run.
- Names are words, like titles, ranks, offices, honours..
- A breakfast, a bed, a milk tea, a mobile charge, a distraction free environment to publish.
- Project Gutenberg, project renaissance, project Sesquiotica for example.
- If Gregg Scott, Jhonson O Connors, Norman Lewis, Ben Zimmer, Language Log guys and Jonathan Swift decide to keep meaning of words like Russel, Harbeck or Whigham: it’s a guild awards Peter Schmies Word Classification Test which is equivalent to Issac Asimov or Mensa Membership in Sweden.
- But you are almost 40. You don’t want to be 14 years old.
- Time Machines. Name Machines. Walking. Friends.
- Was Reservoir dogs an inspiration for the opening sequence for The Dark Knight?. If yes, Nolan shouldn’t be credited as much for originality as for grand execution which works in corporate settings, in family gatherings.
- As soon as Peter Schmies is out you start condemning him.
- As soon as you exhaust Sesquiotica you look for next Laaloo.
- Brown, Black people were frequent flyers. White people were not so.
- Why did my corporate colleague prefer railways? To save himself from heart attacks.
- What’s next?
