Preserved Topic: How good are you? (Page 1 of 1)

Just wanted to tell you guys about this site where you can find out exacly how good you are in Photoshop and many other programs and programming languages
http://www.brainbench.com/

i think I heard of a program language called "delphi", just wanna know what kinda of language it is exactly.

and oracle, it sound cool, what is it?

and coldfusion, coldfusion seem like server applicatoin, but isin't there enough already? (php, pearl, asp, ....)

Galaxal,

Behind Delphi is Object Pascal language.

Oracle is database server.

As far as ColdFusion is concerned, ask Allaire why they made it.

BTW It is PERL - not peArl!

I went to brainbench and took the Photoshop test. According to the results I should quit my job and start digging ditches. In other words I didn't even pass. I've never done well with tests anyway, I always had to study my ass off all day every day, to do well.
Of course, I didn't find any of the answers in the first question aceptable, and it kind of went downhill from there.

The question was: Your client has given you a badly scanned image of his company logo, with rough edges and disconnected pixels.

The answers were select one of these filters / combination of filters you would use to make the image smoother.
My answer is I wouldn't use a filter, I'd use the pen tool, and make paths to make a smooth image. But I use Photoshop for a living, I don't take tests for a living, I guess thats a good thing.

I failed that test too =[
But I guess its hard to accurately say how tallented someone is with an art program, becuase the quality of art is all a matter of oppinion.

- Dan -

well there is some more behind brainbench.... they give courses on things.... and they can certifiy you (or your company) on things.
I am not shure why you want such.... but they cando it
just my 2 cents

~Edit~ btw i did not do the test.....last time i visited them i got every two days emails from them... watch your filters ~End-edit~
Await the up coming Rinswind site

how good?.. relative to a test?.. I suck... relative to me? I am spectacular....

opinion: its all about the Benjamin.... nuff said!

Well, I just failed my HTML 4.0 test....although I scored higher than 60% of previous examinees.

They said my strenghts included (among other things) Forms....which is absurd because I guessed at 3/4 of the forms wuestions <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

gonna try the PS test now..although I don't have 5.5....just 5.0 -- see if that matters much <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/confused.gif">

I failed the C++ exam too, not surprizing though.. mainly because I have no idea how to code in C++.

- Dan -

ok so I just took the PS5.5 test....

didn't get the question that you got F1, but i would do the same thing with the pen tool....

I think that the tests are screwed up 'cause I just got a "master" rating, and I was a little clueless....some thing about densitizationoscopy or something? The whole time I was taking the test I was thinking "damn, I suck! I really need to go throught the help files or get a book!"

thank god for multiple choice exams! I would seroiously flunk out of school if it were not for them.....

Now.... okay. the stats: (from the site)

I scored 4.34 on a scale from 1 to 5.

Scored higher than 98 percent of all previous examinees.

I did NOT cheat on this test. I can prove it by this link: http://www.brainbench.com/transcript.jsp?pid=1863928

Wow. I'm better than I thought! (no, seriously. I'm doing lots of stuff w/ photoshop.) although I need to mention that this test does NOT show how talented someone is.

Heh heh. I scored a 2.94 on the test, so I can do some kind of work with the program, as long as I get moderate assistance on advanced topics! Any volunteers? :-)

ok...first one that laughs I am gonna smak!
I tried for 20 minutes to figure out WHERE the test was on that page of clutter...LOL!

ok... I guessed a LOT and lets say...I'm good with color <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

This is what I got:

I probably should not show this to the boss, considering that I work with scannings, colour-adjusting and calibration. Not so good then to have colours as my weak area <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif">

This does feel like a rather randmon test though, where my score would vary much from time to time.

[This message has been edited by ZOX (edited 04-11-2000).]

I took it in about 6 minutes or so and got a 3.23 - 79% more than other examinees...tests on creativity are bunk...


www.netmosis.com - we're on the leading edge of a false reality...

"How good are you?" bah.. who cares...

How Smart Are You? that's the real question. I scored 162, that places me well into the top 1/2% of everyone <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

- Dan -

eh I think I fail by default, I cant find the stupid Photoshop test and Im not about to waste anymore then ten minutes looking for it. Im sure I would have passed only because the test seems to be horrble and failed most of you guys ...

Oh no, you beat me by one Dan. I got 161. But then the fact that I am up at 7.30 a sunday morning to do an iq test probably is not a sign of a very high iq <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

162 is not very high for a mad scientist though, is it? I would expect at least 200... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif">

I'll just blame my lower score on the fact that English is not my first language. And those questions involving quarters and dimes and ounces and pounds took me quite a while to figure out.

Being Canadian, I don't use that gay imperial system either <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> so I was just lucky that I happened to think a pound was 16 ounces. If only I knew what an ounce was.. good thing it didn't ask <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

I had to take a professional IQ test b/c I wanted to skip a grade. I scored around 155 on it.

my score is 3.13, not the best in here, but at least I am showing my parcipitation the the ozone activities.
who cares about my strenth and weakness, but if you do, http://www.galaxal.com/bbshot.gif

have a damn good day

Hey Dan -- I went to take the IQ test thing, it didn't give me a score! It wanted $9.95 to send me my "intelligence profile"


what the fuck?

It emailed me my score..

- Dan -

Dude, on the page where it says to order your Personal Intelligence Profile. It says your score, in big letters.. Look

- Dan -

I took HTML 4.0, Flash 4.0, Dreamweaver 3.0, and Frontpage 2000. Earned master on all of them. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

I hate tests! I didn?t even bother to take it. No test can tell you how creative or proficient you are at something anyway. DOWN WITH TESTS!

Whoa, Dan, that's is NOT the same page I got to -- I had some of that stuff on my oage but the big table where it said your name and the score and shit was NOT there. It did eventually come in my email though.

Hmmph, weird, maybe there was a server error.

- Dan -

Yeah, I didn't get my IQ right away either. came in email a little later. I scored a 166, but I think that I probably smoke way too much weed to actually be that smart. It seemed to me that a lot of those questions were easy because of things I had already pondered in school. I actually counted on my fingers for some of tha stuff <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Those IQ tests that base your IQ on a set system of questions and a timed exam are bogus. To truely get your IQ you need to sit down with a trained professional. Scores on internet IQ tests have been shown to fluctuate by as much as 50 points.

I got a 187 but I don't know what my real IQ is. The last time I took an IQ test was in 2nd grade to qualify for the acclerated program.

Gosh, I feel kinda dwarfed by all the big brain pans in here. I can`t even spell I.Q.
Doc: If you need help with those advanced concepts, I hear there`s some people over at the Gurus Network that are pretty good...maybe you could ask them ?

i just did this test too for HTML and icq2000
i passed them too.

but i don't think this is a good and senseful test cause the questions are sometimes difficult to understand and senseless... it's more like playing lotto.

btw: you can easily cheat the icq-test by doing all the tasks practically meanwhile the test. 180secs are enough for each one!

Hey, I don't feel so bad, I only scored .28 less than Doc! 2.66. Hmmm, maybe thats because I only just started.

My weaknesses were... well... everything. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> I did get a strength in file formats though. he he

*edit* OH hello! I just received a certification in HTML 4.0 One of my strengths was forms and I have never created a form in my life! Now on to Anatomy and Physiology! *edit*



[This message has been edited by kretsminky (edited 11-07-2000).]

Aha! 3.06 on the anatomy and physiology part. Scored higher than 65%.

That will be DR. kretsminky to you. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">
