Couldn't tell you which one because I don't know the different ones. As I said it was just academic questions. Math, English, History, Art etc. things of the like. It was basically just regurgitation of facts.
That's not an IQ test though.

Tell me about it. That's what they called it and that's what I was told. Beyond that I really can't help you.

Use your brain damage induced superpowers to punish them...

sounds like a proficiency/aptitude test more than an i.q. test

But I lost those abilities when it turned out I didn't actually have the ability to fold time and space. 😮

It'd make sense since that's what it was supposed to be. But then when the results came back that's what they told me. *shrugs* If the information I was given is wrong or not all I know is what I've been told.

Yes you have. The definition of 'public accomodation' from the ADA's own site says, immediately after the point where you cut it off, that the act does not apply to private clubs. And again, that you exclude this is disturbing and says a lot about the quality of your argument.

Again- not going to happen. No matter what you say. You're just spouting stuff but it makes not one tiny bit of difference to the situation.

I did not post any information from the ADA website. 🙄

"ACLU Acts Against RV Park Banning HIV+ 2-Year-Old from Pool" Associated Press

Montgomery, AL—The American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the owner of the Wales West RV park in Silverhill, AL today demanding that it stop discriminating against people with HIV. The RV park banned a child with the disease from using the swimming pool, showers and other common areas of the park without his parent's obtaining a letter from a doctor.

"This kind of ignorance and prejudice is unacceptable at this point in the HIV epidemic," said Olivia Turner, Executive Director of the ACLU of Alabama. "After more than two decades of studying the disease, we know that you can't catch HIV by swimming next to someone with the disease or using a public shower."

According to media reports, Dick and Silvia Glover's two-year-old foster son Caleb was banned from the pool and other common areas of the RV park by its owner Ken Zadnichek after Silvia mentioned to a desk clerk that the boy had HIV. Although Caleb had been looking forward to taking a ride on the park's two train rides, the couple had no choice but to leave the park.

"Mr. Zadnichek should be ashamed of himself for picking on a defenseless two year old," said Christine Sun, a staff attorney with the ACLU's AIDS Project. "Mr. Zadnichek claims that he was merely trying to protect other campers, but he had nothing to protect other campers against. Ignorance about the disease is no excuse for prejudice."

The letter sent by the ACLU explains that discrimination against people with HIV is illegal under the Americans with Disabilities Act and demands that the park owner send written assurances to the ACLU that the park will no longer discriminate against people with HIV.

The letter also notes that the ADA prohibits businesses from imposing eligibility requirements, such as requiring a doctor's note, that screen out people with disabilities.

I thought 'temporal lobe seizure' was the technical name for time-freeze power.
