Steve Nettles What is your occupation Psychometrician - Educational Psychologist I developed state and federal civil service, and licensing/certification examinations for 43 years. Before developing any exams we are legally required to a job analysis to determine the most important knowledge and skill requirements. My two most interesting exams were for prison guards and funeral directors. I know just enough to be dangerous about many occupations - but too much about embalming! What books have had a big impact on you? Murder mysteries. I like to see the bad guys get justice (not necessarily legally!) What activities were you involved in high school and college? High School - all sports, and music - played the cello. College - I plead the fifth! What is your favorite board game, and do you usually win? Dominoes - sometimes What is the worst movie you have ever seen and who did you see it with? Worst and Best - Night of the Living Dead What pets have you had and what were/are their names? First dog when growing up was Skipper. He passed when I was in college. Our first dogs as a couple were a Lhasa Apso and a Shih Tzu. They were 10 pounds and made it 20 and 18 years. Then we had a German Shepherd/Chow mix named Yogi. He was 60-70 pounds and built like a line backer. He made it 12 years. Our last dog was an Australian Shepherd/Beagle/Pit Bull/and others mix. He was 40 pounds and made it 12 years also. I currently have grand-dogs. Toby is a 70 pound English Chocolate Lab and Layla is an 80 pound Boxer mix. In case you can't tell, I am a dog lover What is your most prized or sentimental possession? Explain. My vintage stereo equipment. My favorites are from the 70/s when I was in college. I still enjoy "meditating" while listening to them. Although in the last 40 years I have designed and built approximately 15 pairs of bookshelf speakers and 7 subwoofers. It combines woodworking and mathematical formulas to design them properly. I enjoy all types of music except opera |
