    Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!
    What's with the trick question, though...


    If .4 < x < 1/2, x could equal
    Possible answers:


    - 40%
    - None of the above
    - 45%
    - 50%
    The person who set up that test needs to go back to school: this question has two possible answers. 45% is a correct answer, but so is None of the above, since the above is "40%", which is not a correct answer. Multiple choice questions with more than one possible answer, but no way to select two answers... gotta love them!


    Falls in the same category as one of the options in a multiple choice question being "None of these answers are correct"

    OK...just so everyone knows...if you're over 30 and haven't been inside a classroom in over 15 years...you're an old fart
    Hrm, I'm over 30 but I'm currently in classes... what does that qualify me as?


    10/10 and I hate math.

    totally agree with Neg these tests are dumb. Well, the Math test pegged me right, I got 3 right, and that's only because I saw negs post and used his answer. Anything other than multiplication, addition and subtraction I can't do.

    Hell the personality test pegged me to, EXCEPT at the very end:

    "Your Personality Is
    Artisan (SP)


    You are both grounded and flexible. You adapt well to new situations.
    You are playful and free spirited - but you are also dependable and never flaky.

    You don't do well in conservative, stuffy situations.
    It's probably very hard for you to keep a normal job or stay in school.

    You are always up for fun and adventure. Most people are too boring for you.
    You take risks and bend the rules. And if things don't work out, you chock it up to life experience.

    In love, you tend to take things quickly - but you have a huge problem with commitment.

    At work, you need to make your own rules. You're best suited to be an entrepreneur.

    With others, you are animated and physical. You prefer doing something with friends to just hanging out.

    As far as your looks go, you tend to be buff and in good shape. Your spend more time on your body than your clothes.

    On weekends, you need to keep active. From cooking up a storm to running a 5K, you wear yourself out."




    I'm buff lol. ^Three questions, guess they had to miss something. I'm actually buff as hell, but I'm NOT in shape.

    Hi Neg,
    The person who set up that test needs to go back to school: this question has two possible answers. 45% is a correct answer, but so is None of the above, since the above is "40%", which is not a correct answer. Multiple choice questions with more than one possible answer, but no way to select two answers... gotta love them!
    I thought that was ingenious how they positioned the ' None of the Above ' second from the top instead of on the bottom where it traditionally goes

    Eg

    Eg > you call it "ingenious", I call it "retarded"
    On second thought: maybe "retarded" should be reserved for when "None of the above" is the first option.
