Post by: Kurt Angle on September 04, 2003, 10:46:08 AM: I got 3, some of the answers seemed to have more than one solution. At least in my modest vocabulary they did anyway.

Pretty simple, although I spent around 20-30 seconds on the last one.

Post by: Cerberus on September 04, 2003, 04:01:30 PM: I got 4, but only because I\'m steaming. On a good day, with ideal weather conditions, and me being more sober, I\'d probably get 2 or 3.

Post by: Coredweller on September 04, 2003, 04:37:45 PM: That was easy.

I got 4 of 5 right, and the one I missed was a BS trick question:

CENSUS : POPULATION ::
Correct answer according to them is "inventory : supplies." I discarded that answer because the word "Inventory" CAN be used to mean an abstract listing of physical items...

HOWEVER, it can also be used to refer to the items themselves. In a financial statement, they usually list things like SALES VOLUME, REVENUE, DEMAND, and INVENTORY. Inventory in this sense IS the items, not a paper list of the items. Therefore the answer I gave, "dictionary : words " is more correct.

This is why I hate standardized testing. No matter how right you are, the stupid test can\'t be wrong, so you must be wrong. It\'s BS. Sorry if I\'m a little ticked off. :)

Post by: FatalXception on September 05, 2003, 08:10:19 AM: 5/5. That\'s easy.... now if it was in a foreign language and you had to decipher the right words based on structure or something... that would be difficult.

Post by: JBean on September 05, 2003, 09:31:20 AM: That census : population one was easy.

When we take inventory at work we look at the supplies and materials on hand and take note of them so we know what we have. A Census is basically taking an inventory of our population, that\'s how I figured anyway. :)

Post by: (e) on September 05, 2003, 03:20:38 PM: Same here, but I knew that 2 wouldnt work so I had a 50/50 chance and made an educated guess.
