Default Re: very flawed test

omg..looked into this test further and realized that speed is much more important than anything....if you fly through and give your first reaction you are gonna do better than sitting there pondering the best answer....WTF WTF??? I mean, poker isn't about a quick answer anyway so WTF kinda [censored] marketing scam is this anyway? You can actually stick in a wide range of crazy answers from tight to aggro and get about 125 or so if you just do it really fast....They need to explain that speed is the majority of the test, not accuracy in answers.

Stupid test.

I think the authors probably want you to lay down more than I did...

not sure I understand the scoring of the test. Took it once, tried to think about the answers, got interrupted a few times. I got 100.

Took it again, as fast as possible, under 1 minute for whole thing, answering fold when it was an option, 1st answer otherwise, and only giving any time to a couple of questions.

Got exactly 100 again. Difference in time must have made up for my almost random answers.

Yes, this is the problem. This isn't a test of poker smarts...its a test of speed. They didnt tell us that did they? if they had we could have optimized our strategy.

Part of the test is in the begining when it says when you are ready click here to begin. This should be somewhat of a clue that it is timed, Right? if your smart you would know this

106 trying hard, but a little distracted and not trying to go fast. 94 when just picking random answers quickly and a few that I remembered seemed right. so speed is a factor but it can't override dumb answers

Thanks for posting this test (even though the test itself is pretty sorry; it was pretty fun.) I got a 108, but I didn't see the "correct" answers. Is there a way to see them?
