the real clues
as personal on the
last one, am discounting nothing to start this one and guessing by gut reaction/first impression --
remote control?
/t.
/t.- Good guess! But it's not a remote control.
Ill guess a flashlight?
Yeah a flashlight.
WE HAVE A WINNER!
Canopenner got the answer.
The answer is: yes, a flashlight.
Congratulations Canopenner!
wow - that was fast! great job canopenner!
Pure Luck.
But thank you.
Flic-
I'm new to this, and I'm not sure I've ever known anyone who was Schizophrenic...especially based on what I've read here.
I have, however, spent a good deal of time with children, and some of these descriptions sound like something a 2 or 3 year old would say. (This would actually be a fun test to try on my 4 yr old nephew- asking him to describe everyday things without saying what the object is)
Anyway- my question is this: Are schizophrenic patients more likely to be learning disabled, or mentally delayed? Or do you have cases where a patient is very bright, but is still diagnosed with schizophrenia?
I'm just curious. I'll google this diagnosis just to be a little better informed and ready to read your reply.
Thanks :)
mayden's voyage- Hello there! You could look through the Introduction (to the schizophrenic descriptions) and its comments section, and also through the comments section of each of the Schizophrenic Descriptions (#1 and #2). And you may pick up some useful additional information.
Also, try that experiment with your 4-year-old nephew. It's a good experiment. Even use the same objects we're using here (e.g., a key, a pair of scissors, a flashlight). And you'll plainly see the difference between an organized mind and the "disorganized" mind.
But of course, as with everyone (and everything) else, there is always a method to the madness.
i was thinking lightbulb. canny is smart.
