Default CBC Test the Nation

Last night there was an IQ test in CBC called "Test the Nation". You can do the test online.

I was looking at the info they wanted about you, age, gender .... I was extremely dissapointed to find that they wanted your Zodiac star sign. Worse than that, it has to be entered in order to take the test

Shame on CBC

I don't have time to take that test at the moment, as there are 60 questions, real time, each with a time limit (usually 20 seconds)

I've never been good at those "pattern recocnition" questions, where they say find the next shape in the sequence. Seems like random figures to me

A quick google search will take you there if interested

Pete

Probably they intend to compare success rates against astrological signs. If they do it honestly, of course, they'll find no correlation at all. Hopefully they'll publicize that.

If you fill out the test, you've failed.
