I heard this from Alex, a TCK, and it looks like fun so I thought I’d share it. My TCKQ is 2.30!

I once met a TCK who asked every other TCK he met what his TCK Quotient (or TCKQ) was. You get your TCKQ by dividing your age by the number of places you have lived.

So, I’m 32, and have lived in 13 different places. 32/13 = 2.46.

So, what’s your TCKQ?
