By the time she’d finished copying down the textbook analysis, the lesson had continued and she’d looked up at the professor again. There went trying to decide if that number really fit her better than the first try, and she’d gone back to wondering why arithmancy had to be so complicated. Different complicated from things like her research, of course, and it had suddenly made her wonder about other things. “Maybe knowing someone’s numbers helps in figuring out how to work with them? You can find out if their personalities match up with yours or if you should expect problems. Also, can pets have a rational thought number too?,” she asked, raising her hand.

She was just curious. Obviously she’d have to know her pets’ birthdays, but it was hypothetical anyway.

As soon as he had finished asking the question, Ms. Dalgaard-Volkova was ready to answer. "Yes. Knowing their rational thought number could help you in working with them and it would help you predict if their may be some issues, personality wise, that might pop up." He listened closely her follow up question. "I suppose a pet could have a rational thought number. I don't know why not. They do have unique personalities, just like we do."

She listened to the question and put her hand up. "Maybe its good because even if you don't believe it or you don't think it applies, it makes you stop and think about yourself and reflect on your strengths and weaknesses?" Because honestly Bel didn't think that it was helpful to her in any other ways, but she was trying to look on the bright side.

Next, he saw Ms. Macindoe's hand go up. "Yes, Ms. Macindoe, that's a very true, and wise, response. Knowing our strengths and weaknesses, or even potential weaknesses, can help us better ourselves and even work more harmoniously with others."

"Yeah, like the strengths and weakness thing Bel said," Max piped up, quickly scanning through chapter 13 and resting his finger on one of the paragraphs. "Say you know someone you're working with is a number 3.... you maybe wouldn't wanna give them some dull, boring, mundane task to do because they're creative thinkers and you might not be getting the best out of them."

Hopefully that made sense out loud, because it did in his brain.

His eye caught Mr. Carden's hand and he nodded for his response. "Excellent. That is a fantastic way to make use of the information. Knowing not only your own strengths and weaknesses, but those of your team makes or co-workers, can save you from some poor outcomes."

“Our final task of the day will be to see how we can put those rational thought numbers to use.” He walked forward and picked up one of the small wooden boxes from the front row of desks. “In each box, you will find one famous witch and/or wizard combo.” Foster opened up the box and revealed the folded piece of parchment inside. “Your task is to calculate the rational thought number for each person on your slip of parchment, then decide who you would rather team up with based solely on those numbers.” He gently closed the box and placed it back on the desk. “Now, knowing what sort of task that may be before you might influence your decision. Let us imagine that Hogwarts has been taken over by less than desirable Witch or Wizard and it’s your job to team up with one of the pair to plan a way to remove them from the school.” As he finished, he realized that some of the students may be thinking of a certain headmaster, so he quickly added. “Similar to all those years ago when Dolores Umbridge was at Hogwarts. For the sake of our lesson, let us assume that all of the witches and wizards on your slips of paper are on the side of Hogwarts and removing the troublesome intruder.”

With a flick of his wand, the steps appeared on the chalkboard.

Quote:

1: Calculate the Rational Thought Number for both witches/wizards in the box
2: Compare their Rational Thought Number with your Rational Thought Number and decide who you would want on your team.
3: Write down why you chose the witch or wizard as your team mate.

"Now, there isn't one right or wrong answer for which witch or wizard you should pick. As long as you have a reason for your choice." He glanced around, hoping they were all following. "For example, I might pick someone with a very similar set of personality traits in hopes that we might get along better. On the other hand, I may choose to go with someone that is a complete opposite, so we can bring strengths from both sides." Foster leaned against his desk. "You have twenty minutes to do your calculations and write a short paragraph stating why you made your choice. If you have any questions, please raise your hand and I'll come to you."

SPOILER!!: Witch/Wizard combos

OOC: Great job! Thanks for hanging in there, even with some site hiccups. All you need to do is calculate the rational thought number for both in your pair of choice. I've included a link in the steps above that will give you a calculator so you don't have to do it by hand. Pick which one of the two your charrie would want to team up with and why. Please feel free to join in or catch up. You will have about 72 hours to complete our final activity before we start wrapping up. Please let me know if you have any questions.

You have the cunning of a fox. You can talk yourself out of the tightest situations, but your priority is often winning the contest, not being right. You love to reinvent the wheel. You have no fear of trying an approach that seems far-fetched to others. Your adaptability is unique and you often manage to turn a difficult situation around to make it work in your favor.
