blonde poker forum

As a part time poker player and gambler I thought I would score quite well in this.

I WAS WRONG

46  ;ashamed;

I can't even pass the bit at the start where you have to enter the numbers to prove you're human. I'll try again in a bit

56. average apparently

41 sigh

If you answer 50% for every question, you get a score of 52.  Not sure what that means, other than you didn't know any of the answers.

I think that's why i pretty much got that score. I'm rubbish at general knowledge.

A bit US-centric too

60. Interesting test.

51.     [ ]  Interesting test.

54 meh

as they are factual questions why would you put anything other than 0 or 100%? (or 50% if you have no idea)

64 ... pretty conservative I thought.

i think it is somewhat flawed, in that you get a higher score for guessing the wrong way and are pretty emphatic about it. so it thinks by guessing 0 or 100% when you know the answer is considered less risky, if that makes sense....

Nit

The RQ score ranges from 0 (low RQ) to 100 (high RQ). Your RQ score is 64. Such a score is average.

Sigh...only average.

because you could have a semi-educated idea which leans you more towards one side or the other

98 here :)

Some of the questions are 'trick' questions too.  So you read them and think you know the answer, when you don't...

really

 ;joestrummer;

73. Interesting stuff.

wiii 86.

its cool cos its not a test of how well you know stuff, its a test of how well you can estimate how well you know the stuff - if that makes any sense. it doesn't matter what topic the questions are on, you just need to have a good idea how likely you are to be correct. although i'd imagine that not knowing much stuff means that you'd need more questions to get a better idea of your true score.

people who are good at this should go on who wants to be a millionaire imo.

83 whoop

Good job given I work in risk!

Pretty simple test really, if you dont know put 50% if you know for sure then 0% or 100% accordingly, if you have an inckling go 40%-60% each way.

Would be better with a scale of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100.  I got 58, though dunno what that really means.

61 for me

id imagine its do with the size of the area between your line and the perfect line. not sure if the scores are done completely on this or on how well you do relative to everyone else has taken it though

wiiii, I got the exact same score as the cleverest man in the world. shame it wasn't a cleverness test

90 for me.

I think it definately helps knowing next to fk all and clicking on 40 or 60 a lot. :)

A rather lacklustre 46 for me, at least I'm in good company :(

This test has real value

30%

This test is definitive

10%

My 'risk intelligece' is greater than that of gatso's 'risk intelligence'.  ;nana;

80%

meh

50%

I'm too scared to take it

me too

[X] worried about this

im pretty sure the results of this test are 100% meaningless

me too. 80%.

yeah I know, just worried about having the same score as Blatch :)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

42!!!!!!!!

So you're certain that they're 80% meaningless?

75. I'll cash out now

I got 55

Your RQ score is 70.

Your RQ score is 74. Such a score is high.

70, had to go 50% for a lot of US ones

88,  when does the money start rolling in?

64. Meh.

This

an example:

'the grand canyon is in nevada'

i don't know whether it is or not. iv never been. i do know, however, that it is near vegas - and that vegas is in nevada. i'm pretty certain that its not it california, but there are 3 other states v close to nevada that it could be in (new mex, utah and... colorado maybe?) anyway, i reckon it is in nevada, but i wouldnt be surprised if it turns out to be in one of the others.

what the test is testing is how good we are at predicting how often we get this question right. even though the grand canyon either is or isnt in nevada, given my uncertain information, i reckon i get this question right around 80% of the time. in this quiz, the question isn't 'is the grand canyon in nevada?' - its 'how often do you think you would get the question "is the grand canyon in nevada?" correct?'

Good post

I know what the test says it does but it's all bollocks! I took it twice, putting random answers 2nd time and scored higher.
I manage/assess/score risk on a daily basis at work using plenty of evidence based tools, this isn't on of 'em

i havn't really read what the test says it does, it just makes sense from its structure. as for you scoring higher with random answers, i can only say that small sample sizing is an explanation (50 questions with 11 options seems a bit silly imo).

it doesnt test how good you are at crunching numbers and dealing with probabilities in a mathematical way (as i assume you do with your job) - just how aware you are of your own knowledge.

But Arizona, which is where the Grand Canyon actually is, is not even in your list, so if you thought you might even vaguely get that right, you were obviously sadly mistaken :).

I'd be curious to know what score you get if you were 0 or 100 on every question, and got them all right. Is it going to mark you down for being clever? I only got one badly wrong (100% when it was false), and was 0/100 on about 12 of the 20, correctly, and my score was fairly pish.

I think the idea is, your not suppose to know every answer. I'm only defending this because I got a high score and would like to remain a genius...

89 wii

arizona, bah.

dont reckon they can mark you down for being clever, you should score perfectly for this imo (as you presumably should if you say 50/50 without reading the questions...). as all the points that exist on your line are on the calibration line (given large sample for 50:50 example)

Yeah, you do score 100 if you get them all right at 0% or 100%. Would be an odd score though, given the way the questions are written to promote a degree of doubt. Suspect it might be more likely that someone who refused to admit any uncertainty happened to get them all right, than that someone would actually know for certain that they knew all the answers.
