Post #226,757 by tuberculosis 9/27/05 3:35:33 PM Reply	Freak I lack the mental stamina to draw the stretched analogies demanded. Cake is to lava as Weasel Automobile Flatulence Greed Right And WTF did (inverted) mean? Why was the last question asked twice? And don't get me started about numbers in boxes that appear to bear no relation to one another (actually I could make up several "rules" for each cluster that could work - which one to choose?). No child left behind standardized test designed to eliminate federal funding of education - that's my bet.

Post #226,759 by Yendor 9/27/05 3:44:56 PM Reply	Nah Cheater. I spent a few hours with that tab in the background. Got frustrated with the tab still being open. Entered numbers into those boxes one at a time in Part 3, submitted the form, and watched my score rise. (Inverted) means flipped. So if the answer was an "L", then the (Inverted) answer would look akin to "_\|" (as a single character.) /me exists to skew their results. :) -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
Post #226,775 by ben_tilly 9/27/05 4:53:01 PM Reply	Of course they are stupid And of course there are multiple answers that make sense. That's par for the course for an IQ test. It isn't about finding the right answer. It is about trying to find the answer that you think they are most likely looking for. Which sometimes means trying to second-guess the examiner's style and giving a different answer than the one that YOU think is right. What is worse is that they have so many that are clumped. If you don't figure out what they want, you'll get a whole bunch wrong in a row. That'll limit the precision of the test if they ever do get it scaled.

The purpose of religion, one might say, is to give an air of respectibility to these passions. -- Bertrand Russell
Post #226,785 by ben_tilly 9/27/05 5:27:36 PM Reply	Not quite... It is a "predictive conformance" test. Can you figure out how the wires are likely to be hooked up in the test-writer?

The recommended age to have a Ouija board is 8+ years. So you have to be 21 to drink alcohol but only 8 to summon the devil.
