A thorough test made up of several tests can give a full scale IQ with component scores. Big gaps in the scores, like between verbal intelligence and working memory or processing speed, even helps us detect ADHD.

I feel like I need high processing speed more than anything else when playing competitive video games.

Some of those you listed are closely related for a reason though, or are actually the same, in a sense. So I’m not sure they’re different enough to really be considered false friends? Especially if you look at older shared uses and meanings. Even within Mandarin, you have the same type of differences. 計算機 for calculator or computer, but computers are calculators (compute and calculate are synonymous to begin with).

A Mandarin professor explained in my class that 先生 was used in the past to address teachers. Both Korean and Japanese still use 先生 to address teachers, but they can also use it to address other people in a highly respectful manner too (i.e., like ‘mister’). But mainland Chinese eventually started using 老師 for some reason. Technically, 先生 doesn’t literally mean teacher anyway. The job title in Japan is 教師.

Even if they’re a bit different, most of them are easy to connect the dots. Like

新聞: news -> newspaper 約束: promises bind and constrain us 文句: technically does mean ‘phrase’, but its use as ‘grumbling’ (i.e., complaint) seems to have become more common 白鳥: swans are white birds, yeah? 氷箱: a box of ice is just a primitive method of refrigeration, no? 邪魔: this one comes from Buddhism, so the meaning is actually originally the same, but instead of just wicked spirits that hinder you from reaching enlightenment, it came to mean any hindrance in general 猪: pigs are domesticated subspecies of boars 走: ‘run’ is the original meaning of this character 首: still used for head in some contexts 床: still means bed in some contexts

Funny enough, I find scientific terms to be the easiest* to correctly guess the meaning of the first time I see them because a lot of them follow the similar rules and/or are word-for-word translations of the Latin/Greek root words. Especially if they’re not traditional vocabulary.

When I looked at the nutrition label and saw 炭水化物 ((char)coal water change substance), I immediately figured “carbohydrates.” I felt proud.

There is a commentor on the Reddit thread who gives technical explanations of what we see each episode, and it seems she has a chance because of how routines have to be composed and how difficult (and dangerous) quadruples are. So Inori might have an inori* of a chance after all.

*Translator’s Note: inori means ‘prayer’.

Yes, the fight scenes and explosions were very cool and all, but more importantly, Kivia’s leg.

I come back to this show for tsundere Kivia’s gap moe regardless.

I’m starting to feel like everything I do at work is under duress.
