The patient writes, " I feel a lot better today, but I guess I'm still a little angry that all the time people were laughing and making fun of me because I wasn't so smart." He also states, "...I thought about it a lot. It's because I'm so dumb and I don't even know when I'm doing something dumb." ]]> 2018-03-27 17:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246606962 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246611918 The patient is learning at an astonishing rate. He went from reading and writing at a second grade level, to taking college courses and studying multiple languages. The patient writes, "Besides history, geography, and arithmetic, Miss Kinnian said I should start to learn a few foreign languages." The patient's grammar and spelling has also improved immensely.]]> 2018-03-27 17:29:18 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246611918 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246614156 The patient is now aware that his coworkers are not his friends, and were in fact making fun of his lack of intelligence. Patient writes, "Still didn't go into the factory. Told Mrs. Flynn my landlady to call and tell Mr. Donnegan I was sick." No other changes in patient's relationships were noted.]]> 2018-03-27 17:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246614156 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246620156 Patient is still nervous about taking the Rorshach test, and takes it out on the doctor performing it. He writes, "...The way I said it, he knew I was angry, and he looked surprised." He still believes that the other test where the patient is told to make a story that goes with a picture they are shown is making up lies. No notable changes in personality. ]]> 2018-03-27 17:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246620156 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246620217 Patient understands inkblot test now, and can properly take it, but still doesn't understand what it is used for. Patient writes, "It seems to me that anyone could make up lies about things that they didn't really see. How could he know I wasn't making a fool of him by mentioning things I didn't really imagine?"]]> 2018-03-27 17:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246620217 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246620320 Patient seems a bit aggravated when he speaks to Dr. Strauss, but this isn't a new development. No relationship changes]]> 2018-03-27 17:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246620320 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246627892 No change]]> 2018-03-27 17:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246627892 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246627959 Patient came up with a moe efficient line up for the machines at the factory in which he works, when before the operation, he most likely didn't even understand what each machine did. The patient writes, "...And Mr. Donnegan says it will save him ten thousand dollars a year in labor and increased production."]]> 2018-03-27 17:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246627959 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246628038 No change, but it is worthy of note that after the patient saved his employer ten thousand dollars, he only gave the patient a $25 bonus. This implies that the employer still thinks the patient isn't smart enough to understand that that is not an acceptable bonus when he did something exemplary for the company. Also, the patient's "friends" made excuses when patient asked them to celebrate with him.]]> 2018-03-27 17:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246628038 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708824 The patient has experienced nervousness about asking a girl out for what seems to be the first time, and asked Dr. Strauss for advice. Before the operation, it is safe to assume that the patient did not ever experience this situation based on his hesitance. There were no other personality changes that were noticeable]]> 2018-03-27 22:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708824 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708837 The patient is more aware of his surroundings, namely the two doctors' relationship with one another. The patient writes, "Dr. Strauss and Dr. Nemur don't seem to be getting along so well. They're arguing all the time." The patient seems to be reevaluating his assumptions about the doctors' character.]]> 2018-03-27 22:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708837 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708875 The patient seems to think a bit differently of both of his doctors. The patient writes, "...I remember Burt say that Dr. Nemur had a shrew of a wife who was pushing him all the time to get things published so that he could become famous...Was Dr. Strauss really trying to ride on his [Dr. Nemur's] coattails?"]]> 2018-03-27 22:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708875 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708901 The patient has realized that he is in love with his teacher, Miss Kinnian, he writes exactly that at this end of this entry. There were no other changes.]]> 2018-03-27 22:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708901 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708914 The patient has greatly increased his reading speed, and is still learning much faster than is normal for an average person. The patient writes a conversation with his teacher, "...You can read a whole page at a glance while I take in only a few lines at a time. And you remember every single thing you read...You're accomplishing in days and weeks what takes normal people to do in half a lifetime."]]> 2018-03-27 22:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708914 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708923 The patient has realized his crush on Miss Kinnian which was mentioned earlier, but there were no other changes.]]> 2018-03-27 22:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246708923 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246845856 The patient is more irritable, and is more sensitive when it comes to people making fun of him. The patient writes, "May 15...I was angry at first when Dr. Strauss told me I was giving Dr. Nemur an inferiority complex. I thought he was mocking me and I'm oversensitive at being made fun of."He also doesn't speak to people very often anymore, mostly because they don't understand what he is talking about. The patient writes, "May 18... I tries to avoid all discussions of intellectual concepts and to keep the conversation on a simple, everyday level, but she just stared at me blankly and asked me what I meant about the mathematical variance equivalent in Dorbermann's fifth concerto." The patient now feels pity for people who are like he used to be, unintelligent. The patient writes of an incident he noticed while dining at a restaurant, "May 20, I would not have noticed the new dishwasher, a boy about sixteen, at the corner diner where I take my evening meals if not for the incident of the broken dishes. They crashed to the floor, shattering and sending bits of white china under the tables. The boy stood there, dazed and frightened, holding the empty tray in his hand. The whistles and catcalls from the customers seemed to confuse him...I felt sick inside as I looked at his dull, vacuous smile, the wide, bright eyes of a child, uncertain but eager to please. They were laughing at him because he was mentally retarded." Patient has also decided to study human intelligence, so that everyone can become as smart, or smarter, than he is. The patient writes, "This day was good for me. Seeing the past more clearly, I have decided to use my knowledge and skills to work in the field of increasing human intelligence."]]> 2018-03-28 11:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246845856 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246846739 The patient's spelling and grammar is perfect, and his vocabulary has broadened immensely. The patient also seems to know at least as much, if not more, about his doctor's fields of study. The patient writes, "May 15...How was I to know that a highly respected psychoexperimentalist like Nemur was unacquainted with Hindustani and Chinese? It's absurd when you consider the work that is being done in India and China today in this very field of study." The patient also is becoming difficult to understand to people of average intelligence because of his extraordinary IQ. The patient writes, "No matter what I try to discuss with her, I am unable to communicate. I must review, Vrodstat's equations on Levels of Semantic Progression."]]> 2018-03-28 11:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246846739 corrina_boyd https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246846791 The patient has been fired from his job at Donnegan's Plastic Box Company because his coworkers were afraid of how he had gotten smart so quickly. The patient writes, "The first I knew of it was when Mr. Donnegan showed me the petition. Eight hundred and forty names, everyone connected with the factory, except Fanny Girden." Later on, Fanny tells the patient why everyone signed the petition, "...Them changes. I don't know. You used to be a good, dependable, ordinary man- not too bright maybe, but honest. Who knows what you done to yourself to get so smart all of a sudden. Like everybody around here's been saying, Charlie, it ain't right." The patient is difficult to understand to people of average intelligence, as described earlier in the report.]]> 2018-03-28 11:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/corrina_boyd/kpu851r0rdlw/wish/246846791
