But I have very strong opinions about why it was an extremely poorly written test, and that, I think, should increase my Science/Math percentile. And the fact that I think that should in turn probably increase my Dumb/Dork/Awkward percentile.
Yeah, really those questions need to be normalized for how dorky and awkward are the people you're socializing with, eh? :-)
The test seemed to have very few questions overall, considering it's grading in 5 categories, and each of the questions tended not to cover the range of possibilities well. More than once I found no good answer and just had to choose the least unrepresentative. For example the favorite class question could've said "physical sciences" but it said "chemistry or biology" instead--so, uh, I guess "chemistry or biology" includes physics (when really we know it's the opposite ;-) ).
When my wife's PT asked in a general sense how much I knew about the human body, knowing that my training was in science, my response was, "It's wet. That's chemistry. I was in physics." My big sister might argue that hydrodynamics isn't chemistry. I'd counter that that's engineering.
