Hi

I have a low N6 score too (but not as low as N1+N2), but you know the golden rules, always do the things in the  right order, so, even if you have a low N6 score, as far as i know, that will be the last network to train.

Sakiro: Possibly the most interesting change in this assessment is that I got a fairly high score for N1+N2. Still need to exercise it though.

But yeah, N6 is no longer a marked network for me either after I assessed it a second time. Now N3 is X and N4 is Y/Z. I wish I could create my own hacks and exercises but I'm not sure if I can look at the existing ones and just extrapolate from there (and that would also require some creativity found in N4 so it's also a little catch-22 I guess).

Scal: It can be hard to be sure if one doesn't understand what's in question.. and who needs assessments anyway, we'll be gone by 2013 anyway right.. (this is a joke)

Hi folks,
Apologies for absence, I hope its made my heart grow fonder  :  )

Empathia: I'm confused a bit here (I often get confused so that's ok) because I don't understand how you are linking these particular 39 questions/replies to network 6? There are around 200 questions in the FA, and there are questions in ALL sections of the FA relevant to the performance of N6, so which sections are these ones picked out from and why do you consider them particularly relevant?

Sorry I can't be much more use until I know the context here...basically I don't know which 39 questions these are the answers to...  :  )

Sorry dude; I'm still not getting where these questions are and why it's assumed that only these are related to N6?

On 'scores': I've seen people get zero for a network before and still manage to get it booted up and running. Nothing is unusual  :  )

...To save time, could you just direct me to the questions?

Hi dude,

N6 is the last network we usually need to complete and get up and running, so it's not usually a concern in early days unless it's causing trouble through wronguse. By the time we get to working on N6, much of the hard stuff is already accomplished (because we have built up the networks that support it).  So no worries  :  )

If you have doubts about your Functional Analysis calculations, do the automated computer version. That way you'll get an accurate readout and all you have to do is be clear about your replies.

You have to look at exactly what is being said. So for example if I were doing it and came upon the statement “I am always very tidy” I would click 'no, because although I am tidy sometimes, the statement says 'always' and that's definitely not me!
If the statement said “I always like my surroundings to be tidy” I would click 'yes', because I definitely do like things that way.

You are supposed to click 'yes' to the statements only if you immediately recognise a definite  description of yourself, so you have to pay attention to exactly what the statements are saying or describing. If the questions seem vague it can be a sign that your knowledge of yourself is vague, or it can be due to one or more of the following factors:
Early FAs can be really hard for those who have difficulties paying close attention, or have difficulty making decisions, or are not accustomed to thinking about their own behavior, or don't clearly understand the meanings of some words (can be an issue for those with limited english, dyslexia or limited vocabulary). Other factors are anxiety and/or unconscious confabulation.

The questions/statements that you list are from Part 1 Section E of the FA. ...It would have been a lot easier for you to type just that...?  :  )

Only when we get to 'intermediate' level FAs do we have to start looking at individual questions/statements and taking such details into account. Our first FA is probably the least accurate, simply because we improve our attention and memory as well as our knowledge quite a lot before we get to doing further ones! So it's not necessary to examine your FA in such detail at this stage. In intermediate level we take apart the FA process and start using it to assess our ongoing progress.

However, if you're particularly inspired to follow this up now, you'll need the following background knowledge: (a) the links between animal behaviors, neurotransmitters, networks, and emotions and (b) core eidetic associations.
You also need the following background skills: (a) stable anxiety control under normal (everyday) conditions (b) ability to focus your attention and (c) ability to initiate the relaxation response (by whatever means).
A basic sketchy knowledge of discourse analysis would also help.

If you've got all this already, I'll prioritize intermediate stuff for you. If not, you can have some fun in the library  :  )
