Subject:RE: writing tests are for wussies... From:kcronin -at- daleen -dot- com To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 21 May 2002 06:39:08 -0600
I took something the interviewer called a "logic test," the content of
which was fairly similar to what I've seen in IQ tests. Very challenging,
but they did not tell me my score, or announce my IQ to me. They hired me,
so I guess I did okay.
Speaking of IQ tests, I've seen (and taken) a variety of them, including a
couple of interesting tests on the Web. They were all different. VERY
different.
So I'm wondering: does any person or organization "own" the standards used
to call a test an IQ test? Or can I string together a bunch of questions
and call it the Keithomatic IQ Test? Is it okay if mine tests the
subject's ability to remember lines from old movies, and to be able to
identify Heineken in a blindfolded beer-tasting test?
