Born to do Math 132 - The Born to do Math Tattoo
Scott Douglas Jacobsen & Rick Rosner
August 15, 2019

[Beginning of recorded material]


Scott Douglas Jacobsen: The Born to do Math tattoo. what is it?

Rick Rosner: I only have one tattoo. I got it in late 1988. It says, "Born to do Math." It's on my right ankle. It is remind me that I should be doing math because I do a lot of bullshit that isn't math, and math and physics are really the stuff that I should be doing.


Because I am good in that area, but am really lazy. I also, at the same time, got a couple of dots of eye liner at the corner of eyes to distract from that fact that my hair was going away. But those tattoo dots have long since gone away.


But I still have an old blurry "Born to do Math" on my ankle. The best thing that ever happened with it. That is, the only story that I really have about it. I was modelling for an art class. A guy asks if I am gay. I say, "No. How come?"


He says, "Because you have the tattoo 'Born to do Matt' on your ankle."


Jacobsen: [Laughing].


Rosner: That's just an interesting to have if I indeed had that tattoo. That I have decided that my one purpose in life is to fuck this one specific guy. 


Jacobsen: [Laughing] this is an encapsulation of your entire life.



Rosner: [Laughing] yeah, I guess so [Laughing].

Jacobsen: [Laughing] this is everything. This is everything rolled into one. Everything else is a variation on this theme.




Rosner: Yeah, I suppose so.

*High range testing (HRT) should be taken with honest skepticism grounded in the limited empirical development of the field at present, even in spite of honest and sincere efforts. If a higher general intelligence score, then the greater the variability in, and margin of error in, the general intelligence scores because of the greater rarity in the population.*

According to some semi-reputable sources gathered in a listing hereRick G. Rosner may have among America's, North America's, and the world’s highest measured IQs at or above 190 (S.D. 15)/196 (S.D. 16) based on several high range test performances created by Christopher HardingJason BettsPaul Cooijmans, and Ronald Hoeflin.
