both useless information and I don't understand why people think 1 thing is common sense intelligence why the other thing is useless knowledge

how about this

I think anyone who doesn't know the 1991 #1 pick in the NBA draft off the top of their head is a ****ing moron

which is what I was called when I admitted in this thread I didn't know #14 because I don't pay attention to daylight savings time (when I guess daylight savings had nothing to do with it)

I bet you were shocked when you were told that the Earth orbits the Sun. Although you can always counter with that NBA draft stuff.

all I'm saying is why is one bit of useless knowledge more important than another bit?

what does knowing which month has the least amount of daylight do for me? I honestly had no clue. I guess I know now.

My wife tells me if I spent as much time trading penny stock as I did following the NFL and NHL we'd be millionaires, but, I still got the answer to #14.

Hootie · 02-23-2013, 10:48 PM

P.S. no one has ever had a good rebuttal to that

why am I less intelligent than you because I know EVERYTHING about the three major sports from 1990 to now...literally TONS of knowledge and trivia and stats stored in my brain...and I don't know anything about daylight...

but you know everything about daylight and the ocean and perhaps only 10% as much as I know about sports...

why is one meaningless subject considered 'omg common sense everyone knows it you're stupid' and the other is just meaningless?

Huh?

Huh?

I measure intelligence differently. I choose to be ignorant in subjects that do me no good/don't interest me. I could care less about history. I don't care about slavery or Lincoln or who discovered America...

I do care about the Chiefs and Michael Jordan and Nolan Ryan and amazing pizza recipes and stuff like that...

I'm 27. I don't need to know where Slovakia is on the map. Does me no good.

The test is more of common sense.. If you get a low score on something like this that should be easy to pass, then the teams will know or have a better idea about how you will handle your career and money they give you..

Sure, there are diamonds in the rough that end up getting a smart money manager that will not screw them over/broke..

But when a person is lacking that bad at analytically skills, he best be a freak athlete to have the scores overlooked.. At least for a few years until you can release him when he is downhill and more then likely broke so he can go play for the Raiders..

I got a 13, the 2 I missed I did not want to scribble on paper.. The rest was done in like 2 mins.

If this is how the real test is I'm amazed so many people get low scores unless they're just not taking it serious.

Hootie · 02-23-2013, 11:13 PM

Agree 100%

**Lumpy** · 02-23-2013, 11:21 PM

I missed 1 question. For some reason, I picked May instead of March for #14. Obvious answer is obvious, but I've been drinking a little. At least I know that my ability to calculate math problems in my head isn't fazed by alcohol... which is nice.

That shit is easy, How can you blow that test?

I guess only having a short time for a lot of questions. Pressure of what is on the line. That and letting yourself get stuck on one question that you just aren't processing correctly. Also being an idiot would probably cause some issues.

When is someone going to post the answers to this test so I can ****ing ace it?
