I am in Pandora for the 1st test and Polyphemus for the 2nd.

Quick question. Is everyone getting "what is the answer to this question?" as the last question?

[amandel]

That is kinda kewl and,Bartok, I was also Test1-Pandora(used "cheat").

Hmm. My 2 cents worth: I didn't rush through the quiz, despite the timer. If we are, indeed, wanted to cheat... and also in the line of doing research for Dharma... I would say they almost certainly expect us to tab-over and Google all these questions. Which is what I did. And got all of them right for it. My time was a horrible 6:24, but the instructions say "The duration of your test will be part of your overall assessment." That could go either way, IMHO.

Anyway, first test I got Ganymede, second I'm in Polyphemus. I used the 'i' cheat and clicked C, yadda yadda.

The instruction of test2, says "2. The duration of your test will be part of your overall assessment", so I suppose most of you, like me, intended it like "answer as fast as possible"….as I did…
Did someone try to stop answering at 10th question and let the timer go on…?
I'm doing it… I'm at 18 min but nothing happen….

Hey everyone! I liked this new test. Such interesting subject matter! Thought I'd give you all my results here to think upon.

With my regular account: The test questions seemed to be half and half medical/biological and arts related. I did not use the cheat, but answered "C" since that seemed to be what everyone was getting. This is the F/Chicago account. Ended up with Pandora/Polyphemus

With my 2nd account: The questions seemed more slanted towards the bio/medical. I used the cheat and answered "C" again. This account is registered as M/Chicago. Ended up with Pandora/Steropes.

With my 3rd account: These questions were heavy on the arts and this is the test I thing I did best on. I did not use the cheat and don't remember what I gave for the last answer (damn!). This account is registered as F/Arizona. I ended up with Pandora/Brontes.

I find it so strange that all of my accounts got the same group the first time around, and completly different groups on this test! Also, it might be worth mentioning that I got some of the same questions repeated, but the answers had changed in order, for those of you who might be answering only 1 letter on every question, definitly not a good idea.

All in all, I'm glad the DI is looking for recruits who would be good at Trivial Pursuit!

Well I must say the test was interesting. I ended up in Brontes at the end. So I'm a Ganymede/Brontes.

While I was taking the test, I did think of something though. They mention that the time is important, and we're assuming that it's the length of time for the test as a whole. What if's more the time it took to asnwer each question?

IE: I had a history and art question that I didn't even have to think about before answering. But a medical question I had to check. As the questions each seemed to be from different fields, maybe it's actualy checking what fields we know?

On an added note, just because I found it amusing. My geology related question was "What is a Herkimer Diamond?" Couldn't help but giggle because I was wearing one as I took the test.

I didn't look up the answers, but tried to answer as correctly as possible. I also used the 'i' cheat.

test 1: pandora
test 2: polyphemus

Is there a connection between the cheat for each test and the groupings?

TEST 1
Pandora and Ganymede are planet bodies in space, and the "space bar" is the cheat

TEST 2
Polyphemus, Brontes, and Steropes are cyclopses from greek mythology, and the single letter "i" is the cheat

[chaobell]

Man, my questions were all over the place. Medical stuff followed by art history stuff followed by biology stuff followed by more medical stuff followed by flag colors, wtf. And I picked C on "what is the answer to this question," as was hammered into me in my Scantron-sheet-using youth.

No cheats here; I'll gladly volunteer to be the cheat-free control subject. Mostly because I seem to be developing a habit of going OMG YAY NEW STUFF \o/ and running off to take it before I know there's a cheat.

Anyway:

Test 1: Pandora
Test 2: Polyphemus

I don't know if the answers really have to do with anything. Here is a rather extensive list with which we can add to dposse's list. There are definitely a few more questions out there, I just haven't the time to peruse them all.

BTW: Thought that I'd use the attachment instead of some long 'spoiler' post.

For comparison purposes, I'll try to keep the list here http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=562302#562302 updated

Currently it looks as if there is no correlation between which group you were in for either test, although of note is that the predominant grouping so far seems to be Pandora/Polyphemus.
