Quizzes

Speaking of standards, thanks to a 10-question quiz, I found out I could pass 8th grade math. Actually, I have very fond memories of algebra and I still miss it sometimes. When I was teaching high school, I tried without success to talk my principal into letting me teach one section of algebra.

The hardest math I took was Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science Majors in college. (I started taking CS courses to prove a point when a boyfriend told me I wasn't good with computers.)

You Passed 8th Grade Math

Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Math?

Also, a test told me I should get a PhD in liberal arts.

You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy)

You're a great thinker and a true philosopher. You'd make a talented professor or writer.

What Advanced Degree Should You Get?

Now, I have a Master's degree in English, but when I was deciding whether to continue for my doctorate, my "pro" list had one item: I would be called "Doctor." Everything else was a con, so I decided against it.

I think it's kind of funny that a six-question multiple-choice test has the chutzpah to tell me I'm a "great thinker." At least it told me I could make a talented writer.
