Thoughts of distraction today

ok, so on the one hand ive been submersing in some anlysis methods today.
especially loking at voice turbulence index- a nice little ratio of the (spectral) inharmonic high-freq energy  from 1800-5800hz to the (spectral) harmonic energy from 70 to 4200hz.
and if anyone out there can tell me how (mathematically) Noise-to-Harmonic Ratio (NHR) compares/differs from standard signal-to-noise ratio. let me know.
i thought someone told me once that NHR is basically some type of inverted snr??
Also with this crazy program, i assumed (stupidly) that average and mean were the samething...alas it is not.
Ave Fo is from all the extracted momentum Fo values (the reciprocal of momentum pitch periods)
were as the Mean Fo is for all the extracted momentum pitch periods!

the numbers are almost significantly different...on average about 5-7 points different. True not that significant, however, in my perfectionist brain...YES it is.

still working on this one...

***************
also somewhere i was reading today mentioned archetypes (you know the great Jung stuff).
and it reminded me of my FAV book: Memories, Dreams and Reflections by C.G.Jung.
one of his quotes that has stuck with me is:

"The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong."

im not even sure why today it has stuck with me. but it has.

i am also curious about behavioral traits of those with higher IQ.
i found a nice blog talking about some. and i found myself agreeing with almost all of it.
part of me feels VERY "jipped" as a kid. now a day's they would have found Everything out with me when i was younger (learned different, add, depression.."other")...for better or worse, it must have been though that that would have made my life much worse...
but i want to share that blog since it is a very interesting one. http://eve3.wordpress.com/2008/07/08/characteristics-of-the-gifted/
