Yeah I got about 3 questions into it before I got bored and tried to answer things as quickly as possible. Probably took me 2 minutes and I got a 112

Lyric, why do the scores for the IQ and other categories change with identical answers? When I retook the test with identical answers but took only seven minutes, my IQ score went up by 11 points.

Is it because the Computational Speed impacts most of the categories? Or is it because the scores keeps getting adjusted to make the mean 100?

I took the test twice btw, the first time I was doing a bunch of other stuff so I got 0% on speed and scored 141 (if i remember correctly). The second time I went for speed and scored 149.

No, the test thinks 23o is worst HU pre flop.

Scores are still being updated constantly to adjust the mean score to 100. Scores will continue to change until the test is finalized and the scoring is locked in.

The test can only confirm your technical understanding of poker and gambling. It can't test for myriad other factors affecting your actual results.

Looks like EM2 did poorly on the donkament questions and did well on everything else.

IMO the tourney questions weren't very good. I've told lyric as much, anybody else agree? (particularly those w/ lots of MTT experience).

MTT's was my lowest scoring section by far, and thats where most of my play is. I didnt go back and look which ones i got wrong were though.
