Bri's Room (not done) (Free verse) by Sunshine Conkey

A little girl named Bri had an awful lot of stuff she saved and saved it but it wasn't enough. She put it in a closet and stacked it on the floor But even when her room was filled She wanted more and more. One day while playing She wanted her special pen to draw her favorite doll. But after looking everywhere, she couldn't find them at all.

Obviously IQ tests are biased for writing (and for white Western males!) However, how else are you going to define intelligence besides, 'the thing that intelligence tests measure'? Be sure to make your result empirically testable and measurable.

SOME CHICK USER: Testing and measuring is SO white, Western male!

ZODIAC: Yes, but without empiricism things tend to get sort of squishy around here.

SOME CHICK USER: We like squishy!

ZODIAC: That's fine. But the moment you thought you could handle a systematic argument on the matter, you chucked your hat in the ring of empiricism. You can't get out now. No, wait, you can. And should. Just say, Out, out, and rub your hands with an obsessive scrubbing motion.
