Here's a challenge for you.
Visual/spatial skills have never been my fortè. At 27 I still can't correctly label every state on a U.S. map. But before you lump me with the likes of Miss South Carolina, please know that I could at least sing you all fifty states.
It turns out I am not alone. Awhile ago Baldo and I put ourselves to the test with some friends. With blank U.S. maps in hand we traveled back to 5th grade geography and cheated hurried our way through the list. My score? 36. I am not smarter than a 5th grader. Only one of us came close to a decent score, and we commenced calling him a teacher's pet the rest of the night. LOSER!
If you have a few spare minutes to destroy your self-confidence, print off this map, give it a go, and post your results in the comments. I secretly hope you do horribly so I feel better about myself.
