It's that time again. It's the time to see how many glow in the dark niggas are on right now.
What is t.avistock? It quote "applies social science to contemporary issues and problems." end quote
But they go farther than that… much farther.
They came up when I first started discussing about Bearenstein/Bearenstain. Something about a bump on the head and proficiency in math.
Well, you came close to the truth last time, let's see what happens this time

Did this have to do with GATE as well?

Fuck, this is a massive "holy shit" moment.
Tested IQ of 167, with massive memory gaps in elementary school and diagnosed DID. And reading through some of the archived threads it seems I'm rather lucky too.

PREPARE FOR A WALL OF TEXT
I'm going to post my experience with GATE because I find that anons are interested in adding to their existing body of knowledge concerning it's history. I was in GT from the ages of 9 to 11 (2001 to 2003, roughly) and was GATE tested. I remember "Horizons" was the company that was supposed to organize the GATE program and the requisite testing associated with admission. My entire experience with GATE occurred in Texas, in an exurb near Houston called Highlands. The school district is now referred to as GCCISD.
When I was tested for giftedness, I was pulled from my 3rd grade classroom and provided with a writing test, in which I was instructed to create a story revolving around a picture: in this case, a simple rhomboid. After writing my story, it was determined that I should take a WISC test administered by a psychologist to finally determine whether or not I would make the cut for GT. I scored a 139 on this test, and was also given an EXPLORE ACT-preparatory exam intended for 8th graders on which I scored in the top 3% of the test's intended demographic at the age of 9 (I still possess this document). The IQ score apparently qualified me for GT, which had a minimum cutoff point of FSIQ 117 but typically looked for students with an FSIQ of 129+.
Understand, the only reason I'm delving into my scores is to drive home the point of how strange the ramifications of my GATE education were for me, and to provide substantiatable details to ensure to the average reader that I'm not a liar or a troll. Let's compare the promising test scores of my childhood to my current status in life:
I'm now 27, and have accomplished almost nothing. I'm a NEET who graduated in the bottom quarter of my high school class and flunked out of university within two semesters. The most technically demanding job I've ever worked was as a barista in a grocery store chain. I'm nearly entirely self educated and barely even obtained a high-school diploma.
About four years ago, I was again given an IQ test (this time a WAIS - IV) because of my chronic under-performance. This test was administered by a psychologist, and I obtained a FSIQ of 121, or a score about 18 points lower than my earlier WISC test. Some interesting aspects concerning this score are a) an 18 point discrepancy between two professionally directed IQ tests is very, very unlikely, b) of the four subcomponents of this WAIS, my WMI (working memory index) was an 81, or at the 13% percentile, c) VCI (verbal comprehension) was a 126 and POI (matrix reasoning) was in the "top one percent", so about a 136+ and approximately where I'd expect them to be given my initial intelligence score. Basically, my working memory/executive functioning was destroyed. The WMI, which indexes dual-n-back tasks, short term memory and executive functioning, is associated with a part of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. There are studies which investigate the atrophy of the DL-PFC incriminate drug use, alcoholism and (((porn use))), as well as behavioral/psychological conditions which fuck up dopamine and norepinephrine receptors, as the primary cause for DL-PFC shrinkage.

Destroying you so they can then put a (((friendly))) jew saying "I like you,you can trust me" is one thing ,but just destroying you for the sake of destroying is like admitting you to /pol/ with honors

Childhood? One of my worst fears of false admission to asylum and being kept on pills got confirmed in my country last year with 2 cases,one dude was kept in asylum for 40 years for stealing a bag of flour and his neighbours lying he is aggressive I don't remember what the other one did but they were both kept locked to test new drugs on them,no way of defending yourself,nobody that will believe you

I believe that some of the events which transpired during my three years in the GATE program at GCCISD where so psychologically damaging that they permanently inhibited the proper development of my DL-PFC. Before my acceptance into GATE, I was socially well adjusted, reasonably happy and a stellar student. On the FIRST DAY of my GATE class, I was privately denigrated by my teacher and separated from the other students. Within a week, I was being bullied by students my age for the first time in my life. The level of aggression exhibited by my teacher and other students was so severe that in retrospect, it would be easy to believe that it was either orchestrated or advocated by the schools administration. The private harassment from my teacher eventually became open to the class, and I was quickly made into an outright pariah. I was instructed to sit alone in the corner for the entire semester. I was instructed to sit outside of the classroom while reading activities were in session. I was routinely criticized in appearance, hygiene, attitude, etc. by the teacher to the jeering and snickering of my peers. I had no friends. Probably the most damnable behavior expressed by my teacher was purposely taking away my quizzes and exams prematurely, stating that I was "distracting the other students" or "being disruptive" while sitting silently and concentrating on my schoolwork. This actually culminated in her taking away my state-mandated TAAS test during priority testing time and instructing me to sit alone in the gym room for four hours, (an incident that finally convinced my mother to take the problems I was experiencing to the school authorities).
Despite repeated cries for help from school leadership, and even with the direct intervention of my mother, the school was unwilling to take even the most basic steps necessary to remove me from the classroom or chastise the teacher. The school essentially stated that removing me from the GATE class would result in me failing the 4th grade and having to be held back for a year, since the program is somehow inextricably grafted into a students schedule. This pattern continued for over two years before I finally started homeschooling with my father, as I was experiencing suicidal ideation, violent invasive thoughts, and was truant from repeatedly skipping class, but by that point the damage was done. I've experienced paranoia, depression and most importantly, BRAIN FOG, ever since.
There are numerous accounts of surreal occurrences during my years in GATE. First, I was routinely pulled out of class by a counselor, who would play games with me (Bop It, Uno) and ask me questions concerning my experiences in the classroom. Even though I would tell her that I was miserable and considering hurting myself to avoid class time, she would duly note my responses and continue on with a list of more questions. Secondly, I was visited several times by a female scientist who worked with NASA. This scientist was pulling students in the GATE program out of class one by one, and showing them boxes of dirt. She claimed that the dirt in these plastic boxes were lunar soil samples, and that she was instructed to look for bright students who would be interested in working with NASA. While this might sound like a mundane field-trip opportunity for particularly bright kids, it was struck me as peculiar that she selected only a small sample of students from the GATE class, and interviewed them one at a time.
I know this is an absolute monster of a post, but I have more I can talk about if anyone is interested. I'll be around for another couple of hours if anyone has questions concerning my experience.

I remember those threads. I decided all the IQ tests they gave me from age 3 to age 12 never happened. I mean they obviously happened, but whoever those people were seemed to have left me the fuck alone since I refused to comply with further testing around age 13.
My parents remember taking me in for the tests, but they won't tell me where, who was testing me, or why they were testing me. I have vague memories of my youngest tests occurring at a place maybe called the Minneapolis Children's Hospital.
