Chef Jim Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 34 this time You scored a Thurman man!! Awesome job!!
Wacka Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Took it a day or two ago. Got 90 or 92. Missed the nimbus and some physics questions.
BillsFanNC Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 72. I'm dumb with biology. There were only maybe 4 or 5 bio questions on the entire test.
TheMadCap Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 God I made some dumb mistakes, and I have a serious mental block against doing math in my head. I got 90%. I'm a multidegreed chemist, these things are usually fun for me. Tom, you must not have small children, the only reason I got the nimbus question was because of Disneys "UP"...

Of course I don't have kids. You've seen how I treat idiots. Can you imagine what I'd do to them in their larval state?
Steve O Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 34 this time guess that only makes me second lowest - 42
Azalin Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) too much chemistry and biologoy for me to do any bragging (I never had a single course in either subject in my entire life). it there weren't so many physics and astronomy questions, I'd have done a lot worse than my humble 66. I like that they try to trip you up on the final question. Edited January 20, 2014 by Azalin
Philly McButterpants Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 82. Got a few easy ones wrong . . .
mead107 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 100 % copied all the answers last time. So made taking the test the 3rd time very easy.
Gugny Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 100 % copied all the answers last time. So made taking the test the 3rd time very easy. That is exactly how Vince Young got a 4 on the Wonderlic!!
mead107 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 If I was in Harvard would have gotten an A no matter what the score was.
DC Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I have to admit that it wasn't all scientific knowledge that got me my score. Having a working knowledge of Attic Greek helped a lot, too.
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) The way they worded the questions, there were multiple ways to answer the questions. Like Fluorine being number 9 on the table, blah, blah blah about the other parts of the question. Same with oxygen being the most abundant element in the earth's crust. Yes, the question said crust, which would throw people for a loop, but they also said atomic number of 8... That has to be oxygen, just from memory. Same w/the question about which element is 16. Has to be sulphur, "yellow cyrstalline" structure gave it it away. Radon being the heaviest noble gas was a no brainer too. So... Even if you didn't "know" the answer you could figure it out by process of elimination. Same with the answer Joule, with regard to the electrical question... I think the question was distance (1 meter) Ever read a surge protector, things are measured in Joules I am pretty sure. Same w/-nimbus, those are rain clouds, gotta be precipatating. Then there is just things that come to memory, like AM and amplitude modulation vs. FM which is frequency modulation. It seems the whole test was like that, giving you many ways to come up with the answer, then your memory is jogged w/what you learned. Like Jboyst said earlier... Test taking ability.

DC Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Took it again, got a 96. Note: don't take it immediately after reading an EII post.
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Took it again, got a 96. Note: don't take it immediately after reading an EII post. Hey I only got an 86! We are making progress, you actually read one of my posts and scored higher than me! :-)
DC Tom Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Hey I only got an 86! We are making progress, you actually read one of my posts and scored higher than me! :-) I always read your posts. I'm a big fan of the absurdist movement. Look, a rhinoceros!
dib Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Got to 36% of the quiz finished and it locked up in me.
