Only a very small percentage of those tested have more than 6 aptitudes. These aptitudes remain stable throughout one's life. I believe I have learned to harness almost all of them in my work.A geek from the beginning, at 6 years old I designed rudimentary versions of the rotary engine and the flywheel without knowing they had already been invented, while attempting to build a perpetual motion machine with toy magnets.In my spare time, I like to make my wife and 3 kids laugh. I run, weight-lift, and read science books.
