Apparently not as well as I lead others to believe I do. My score was a 73%. Could I plead a subject bias and say that my training is in the cognitive sciences, and this test primarily asked questions about physical sciences (biology, chemistry, earth science and physics)?
I'm just going to count my lucky stars that the quiz was quite obviously graded on a curve. When I reviewed my answers, I discovered I had missed 7 of 15 questions. This means I would receive a 53%, a solid F. Well, I would have gotten an F when I was in 8th grade. They no longer give Fs -- it's an E now. I'm not sure what E stands for, but maybe the powers that be decided that they should be consistent and no longer skip E in the grading scale.
When my students get 8 out of 15 they get an F, not an E. Unless I determine that I did a poor job in developing the assessment.
