The NY Times reports that people who read literary fiction tend to score higher on emotional intelligence tests. Take the test! I posted a 34, but I have a confession – I hardly ever read fiction.

You did better than me. I got a 29 apparently I don’t know others as well as I thought. Although I’m gonna chalk it up to those grainy photos 🙂 .
Haha, maybe I just got lucky. Those photos were grainy indeed.
Hi makingmondays! I also got a 29! 🙂 I think they’re grainy… stick to that 🙂
I think that’s what Joanna Goddard got too 🙂

this test showed me that i have an attention problem .. i only got through half before i realized how long it was. i got 3 wrong already, so ARKIE has the high score!!
what was the last novel you read?
hmm, what WAS the last novel i read? like i said, i read a lot of non-fiction, so “The Defining Decade” and “Stumbling Upon Happiness” were the last two books i read, but they were both non-fiction. i believe “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” was the last book of fiction i read. was that 2011 or 2012?
for our book club read #1, right?! i’d love a list of your suggested non-fiction books. did you get a lot more out of “The Defining Decade” book compared to the TEDtalk? I really like “Lean In”, but a lot of it was expansion from her talk.
Yes, loved the book! The TED talk is very closely based off of the book, but it is still informative and a good read. I actually think Meg Jay might be ISTJ, Lotte.
