brerwallabi 10th-July-2005, 09:38 AM How long do we get to take the test, I think I might need extra time as I not sure about question 1, maybe I will wait for a consensus of opinion first before answering. I am leaning towards "c" though.

You've got talent. You could become a politician... :D
Unless you're one already... :sly:
eddievanhalen 10th-July-2005, 02:29 PM The original version of that test actually comes from a book called "The Trillionaire Next Door" which , for a full time trader , is probably one of the funniest things you'll ever read. Highly recommended if you can find it used.

Before I start the test:
How much time do I have?
What if I make a wrong answer, how do I correct it?
Can I use red pen?
If I don't like any of the answers, can I put my own in?
What outcomes are being measured?
Where are the cognitive and behavioural objectives for this test?
We weren't given two weeks notice in writing, so I assume it's a quiz, not an assessment event?
PS: I think I still got them all correct! :D
