@CE: Thanks! :cool:

Somehow, I got the feeling about it, but to be honest, I wasn't sure. Better to ask an expert :)

Have you ever thought of becoming a neurosurgeon?

@COMMrade Lazarus: My midterm exam for my students are far TOO EASY for native speakers. My problem is discerning what kind of queries and items would fit the level of competence for my students. :(

Don't mention it - since the areas overlap partly, it's not totally obvious what the difference is.

Sure I have considered becoming a neurosurgeon. Before I started at university, I was chosing between physician (neurologist, psychiatrist or neurosurgeon) and psychologist (neuropsychologist or psychotherapist). So, I started discussing with people in the different professions, I visited departments of hospitals etc, and I quickly ruled out neurosurgeon because it's too much handiwork for me. A great, fascinating and intriguing handiwork, but I'm a more theoretical type. :)

Hope nobody's done this-
