Willow these tests don’t mean much

I got 6 out of 8 right and the ones I got wrong were chemistry questions. Air composition and combustion. Science isn’t my thing. I tried to guess those.

Those questions are awful 😂

Nammu · Mar 02, 2023 at 04:13 PM

I got 6 outa 8 too. I thought the questions fair for 1800’s

I got 4 out of 8.

Well I think people back in those times must have been pretty dang smart! Certainly not stuff I learned in school. Although I wonder how much of that stuff was useful. In high school I took a bunch of agriculture classes. At least I could grow stuff if I had to.

I got 5 out of 8. thought the questions were kind of interesting

I think majority of these type of tests are measuring how well you can take tests, not exact knowledge of things. Can you use logic and make educated guesses on which of the options can’t possibly be correct kind of thing. There’s no way everyone can know everything.

You aren’t stupid. You use plenty of logic on this site. And there’s a reason for some tests. If you don’t need or want one, then I recommend not taking it. It’s not like they made you take the test

I took it out of curiosity

Which didnt kill the cat, cause i dont like that expression of killing cats

7/8 and I dunno, I thought the questions were interesting.

Discombobulated · Mar 03, 2023 at 04:07 PM

5 out of 8, thanks for sharing that was interesting. I definitely learned something there.

Glad I didn’t live in Victorian times - for lots of reasons- though.

I think you use good logic.

Actually the questions in this test are all factual - in this way it’s a narrow measure of intelligence. It doesn’t measure creative/original thinking for example.

Even with factual questions, you could apply some logic and common sense to narrow your answers down. Same as SAT and ACT, some people do well and don’t really know all the facts or didn’t even take classes in question

Why are you putting yourself down? What purpose does it serve?

Is it putting myself down if ita literally the truth?

The college i went to a few years ago literally said i cannot analyse anything they wanted me to analyse

But from your posts here I think you might be a creative thinker because you have an ability to look at things differently.
