Brain testing

[andrewducker]

Test your mathematical instinct here.  Takes about 10 minutes.

I got 91% - putting me in the 99th percentile.

90% and 99th percentile also.

I am now seeing spots in front of my eyes and blaming you!!!

[andrewducker]

Geek!

Takes one to know one!

Me too, on both counts. %|

Sadly it seems to want to search for y and b rather than accept it as a keyboard instruction.

89% and the 99th percentile. Odd since I was really pretty terrible at maths in school which is what it claims to be looking for a link with.

You had a score of 82% correct on this test. Based on the results we have so far, the average person who takes this test scores 75% correct.

Your percentile score on this test was 91, meaning you scored higher than 91% of people who took this test

I was guessing lots and 82% correct seems high, so I suspect they're compensating for age. I should've added a few more decades...

I feel embarrassed with my mere 86%.

Must remember to mention it to some of my psychology friends and see if they know anything else about this research.

I got the same score which I didn't figure was too bad for an old woman.

93%! How do I have the highest score so far when I'm TERRIBLE at maths and have a horrible hangover which wasn't helped by flashing dots in my eyes?!

I got 85% which put me in the 98th Percentile. I may have done better if I didn't keep getting muddled up between the B and Y keys though, which sounds really stupid, I know.

I got bored and gave up, it went on so long :(

Also, it wasn't very consistent about registering my keypresses. Sometimes it didn't seem to register that I'd pressed space to continue, so I'd either press it again or just wait, and then it would suddenly flash up the dots a few seconds later when I wasn't expecting it; also once I tried to enter my answer ("y" or "b") and it didn't seem to notice, even after I pressed the key repeatedly, and it eventually told me I'd run out of time.

%98 percent.

Must have gotten lucky.

[davidcook.livejournal.com]

88% / 99th percentile. I got a bit "trigger-happy" for a few answers and pressed the wrong key, so it could have been higher :-)

[lizzie-and-ari.livejournal.com]

yeah that happened to me too. I got 86%/99th percentile but also I'm on my period which slows down my brain (seriously) x

[nancylebov.livejournal.com]

79% first try, 81% on the second. I definitely get trigger happy, and realize that moment too late that I've hit the wrong key.

I tried to correct for it the second time through, but not as successfully as I hoped.

I'm betting that if I could reverse mistakes, I'd do somewhat better, but not brilliantly.

80% - and I'm dyscalculaic!

[marrog.livejournal.com]

83% (95th percentile) last night while drunk, 90% (99th) this morning. Would be higher if I was a little more considered before clicking. May try again later...

In other news, according to another test on the site, I'm not very good at judging whether someone is a Democrat or a Republican compared to society at large, but I'm better than average at knowing if they're gay or religious.

I judged nearly all of them using their haircuts.

[andrewducker]

Have you never been warned about drunk clicking?

87% in the 99th percentile. I woke up this morning convinced it was 1st September and wished my partner a happy birthday, so I think that proves the test is broken!

[luckylove.livejournal.com]

91% in the 99th percentile and I'm doped up the eyeballs on anticonvulsants, antipsychotics and antidepressants which individually slow me down so you can imagine how slow I am when I'm on all three as I am now. I'm feeling rather chuffed with myself.

I felt bad answering the initial maths and science questions as I had to slide it all the way over to 100. I was the only student allowed to do Sixth Year Studies sciences (Chemistry and Physics) at my school and I was the only one doing both Maths papers. They only ran three classes just for me because they needed the grades and knew I'd provide. I feel like such a failure now.
