I knew a guy in college who was socially inept. Everyone thought he was home schooled but he wasn't. At one point he wanted to go to beauty school after he got his degree. He spent his summers working at Sally's Beauty Supply. He'd walk up to girls and without any setup, bluntly ask them if he could wash their hair. Everybody who knew him avoided him like the plague. Some of us who had to deal with him a lot tried to help him out but the ideas never sunk in. He's now a proud member of the US Navy.
Wow, you guys must be some charming mofos. The kid could have just been nervous what with being on national television and all. I'm sure the high paying job he snags when he grows up will more than make up for any "not getting laid" time you guys are condemning him to.
The fact that he answers a lot of questions with Yes or No only and doesn't expand on them shows his lack of social skills. Kid needs help.
This kid is incredible. His math skills are equally impressive. I was looking around the WWW for worldwide math competitions a couple of months ago (human calculator type competitions) when I came across his name - he competes and does well against the elite math students from 10-12th grades in the US (in the US Math Olympiad). This is while he's still in 8th grade. Here are the results : http://www.unl.edu/amc/e-exams/e8-usamo/e8-1-usamoarchive/2007-ua/2007usamotop12.shtml Here is an example of the US Math Olympiad questions : http://www.unl.edu/amc/e-exams/e8-usamo/e8-1-usamoarchive/2007-ua/2007USAMOprob.pdf What the USAMO is : http://www.unl.edu/amc/e-exams/e8-usamo/usamo.shtml
OMG a LeGrouper sighting! I haven't seen you in like three years. Do you only post in GARM or something?
No, his answers are r****ded...has nothing to do about being nervous. Ive been in plenty of interviews where I could feel my heart burst, but that doesnt keep me from conversating properly. Kid has 0 social skill. Smart kid though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06JUfkiMOVc&mode=related&search= HAHA this one is hilarious. He faints, and notice the girl behind him casually steps up for her word as if nothing happened.
I wasn't aware we were all doomed to work at Webster's spelling department... He could never become 1) a medical doctor 2) a scientific doctor 3) businessman or 4) entertainer. I'd like to see how he is post-puberty.
He could definitely become the first 2. Basically any field where social skills aren't that important (ie academic fields)
It's all an act to get p****. Youth today are into a trend called "Emo". Emo chicks dig the nerd-thang.
Social skills are incredibly important in all 4 occupations. For the first example, in order to attend medical school one must posses enough personality to make it past the interviews. In the second example, receiving funding as an academic or working in a commercial environment requires one to posses the charisma to get things moving.
