MichaelT Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 http://offbeat.topix.com/quiz/16503/ There's a lot of questions but it's kind of an interesting test. I got: Your Score: 95% PhD Congratulations - you got your doctorate! It's clear that you've put in some solid years in grad school. Funny thing is, I don't have my PhD, nor Master's. I got my Associate's Degree in Computer Information Systems 20 years ago. I just happen to know the answers to a lot of random questions. Not quite Cliff Clavin but I aspire to such lofty goals.

saturn Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Well. Anyone here who's been reading my stupid posts for almost the last 10 years, has probably already guessed that I'm an uneducated ignoramus. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 1500662810[/url]' post='1870085']Well. Anyone here who's been reading my stupid posts for almost the last 10 years, has probably already guessed that I'm an uneducated ignoramus. :o You make me laugh Jay! Well as far as that goes, me too. I never play those stupid games on Facebook. As far as how far did I go? I had a scholarship in Art for a college in Illinois which I didn't attend. I went to Iowa Western instead and took Auto Mechanics to learn how I would get into drag racing which I did and then took a course of welding as that was needed to weld the tube frames, cages and stuff and retired with 34 years in the Railroad industry.

Guest Farnsbarns Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It says I have a PhD. My guess is it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Ok, I got an 82% and it said the same thing Michael's did. It told me I had a PhD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I had 9/10 but it kept rebooting (damned IPad) so I got sick of it and gave up. I figure that means I'm a university dropout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx-ogre Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I had 9/10 but it kept rebooting (damned IPad) so I got sick of it and gave up. Same thing happened to me. Pretty disappointed. I was looking forward to being congratulated for a PhD that I never earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I found the questions easy and needless to say I have my P.hd. Except that I don't - M.Sc is the best I obtained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Too bad you can't get a PhD by taking a multiple choice test. I found most of those questions to be decidedly highschool-ish. And too many questions were about Shakespeare or the bible. What if your PhD is in mathematics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Like, Wow man, I guess my "highest" education was in college, in 1969, experimenting with hallucinogens, and smoking reefer! But, like I gave all that up, before graduation. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 but so many questions! I feel I've earned a Phd now. (yes the questions were too easy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if your PhD is in mathematics? my score was 75% it says i have a phd. i never actually attended high school. i dropped out in the 9th grade, went back at night and got a ged, and the remaining 3 credits to get a graduation certificate. i didn't even finish trade school. i think you're right about that test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 There must be a flaw in the test, it gave me a Ph.D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 This one is fun for foodies... it starts really easy but gets much harder in the end... That was rather fun! I found a lot of the early (USA-centric) ones much harder than the later (rest-of-world) ones. 89% is OK, I suppose, although there were a few guesses... Pip.

Tman Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Maybe there are different tests because I didn't find the early questions USA centric. I missed the literature questions and got 84% . I'm an MD so studied science instead. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opposite for me - though you''d be pleased to know I got blood pudding, haggis, and beef wellington right. I missed some of the more obscure (to me) Asian dishes. I think I was still above 85% though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badbluesplayer Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I got 81, acing such brain-benders as "What's a pronoun" and "How many is IX?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I got 81, acing such brain-benders as "What's a pronoun" and "How many is IX?" My favorite was "what is the meaning of binary?". One of the choices was "pertaining to bins and containers"!!! Ha ha. I wonder if anyone has ever chosen that answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangoghsear Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 http://offbeat.topix.com/quiz/16503/ Not quite Cliff Clavin but I aspire to such lofty goals. Some Clavinisms. Relative to the test, "It's a little known fact that smartest animal is a pig. Scientists say if pigs had thumbs and a language, they could be trained to do simple manual labor. They give you 20-30 years of loyal service and then at their retirement dinner you can eat them." Relative to guitars, "I wonder if you know that the harp is a predecessor of the modern day guitar. Early minstrels were much larger people. In fact, they had hands the size of small dogs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
