     @lain I have vivid memories of being shown zener cards at primary school. A small group of people and I were taken into a different classroom for what the teacher called ‘extra tests’. The blinds were always drawn, a strange man in a suit with a briefcase came in and was accompanied by a familiar teacher. I remember having some sort of drink from a plastic cup at the end of the session too. Made me think of when you swill at the dentists. Weird as shit.

     @lain Kinda? I think? Maybe it’s just high functioning intuition and pattern recognition but at the cost of constant migraines and agoraphobia lmfao

     @shibao @lain For fuck’s sake. For what it’s worth I recall it tasted like ‘TV static’, I made this remark to one of the other kids before we left one time and they got seriously uppity that I spoke out of turn. We weren’t supposed to. It was tasteless and odourless but I remember it being pink and very heavily carbonated, hence my child brain’s comparison to static I guess.
     
     I remember it was surreal because we had to go to a ‘grown up classroom’, for context the school was divided into two: Classrooms the younger kids (Key Stage 1 - ages 4-7) would go to and classrooms the older years would go to (Key Stage 2 - ages 7-11). I was in Year 3 when I experienced this, so about seven years old, and therefore at the end of KS1. I also recall thinking it was odd that we couldn’t write in pencil, which was the norm, and we were only allowed to write in black pen. I remember one of the teachers saying she could not help us if we needed help understanding the questions like in the ‘normal tests we do’.
     
     Before every session there was a PowerPoint presentation held by the very austere man who had been ushered around by one of my teachers. I can’t remember the contents of the presentations but when I try to remember I feel extremely confused and scared. I wonder why.
