The intelligence test tells her that she is very smart, in the top percent of Amentans!

Oh good!

"Having fun?"

"It says I am in the ninety ninth percentile and I looked up what a percentile is and that's the best one."

Nertel beams at her. "Yes, it is. Our clever little granddaughter!"

Bounce.

"Intelligence is really important for blue too, of course."

"Yes."

"It's pretty important for everybody."

"I wanna do more tests."

"Okay! More intelligence ones, or tests for other things?"

"Other things."

So she looks up a empirically validated conscientiousness test and some unofficial judgment and decisionmaking and spatial reasoning and memory tests.

Test test test!

Her scores vary! She's pretty good at most things. She's conscientious for a blue (95th) but only 78th percentile for a yellow! She is good at the judgment and decisionmaking.

This is acceptable. She bundles up all her results and sends them to her dads in case they would like to know.

And before too long they have come to scoop her. "Taking tests all day? Did you have fun?"

"Yes! They were interesting."

"Oh?"

"They have to make them so you can't guess what the right answer is unless you really are the thing they are testing, not like a personality test, and they did an interesting thing with trick questions in one of them."

"That does sound like fun. Are you satisfied that you are a suited little blue?"

"Yes. But I still think I would have been good at most colors."

"I bet you would have. Being clever helps at any caste."

"How does it help greys?"

"Smart soldiers are better at soldiering and smart detectives are better at solving crimes and I am sure there are coaches out there looking at statistics to put together the optimal bell-and-stick team or something."
