Re: Are you a donkey?
[ QUOTE ]
Someone posted a thread about this test a few weeks ago. Apparently the time you take to answer everything has a huge impact on your score. IIRC, some people tried the test twice -- once slowly and carefully, the second very quickly and picking random (or near random) answers. Their fast score exceeded their careful slow one. So I wouldn't take much out of the results of this thing... [/ QUOTE ] Not true in my experience. I originally took the test at a normal pace and recieved a 131. I just now took the test very rapidly (sort of recalling my previous answers) where I scored 100 on computational speed and ended with a score of only 125.

Great book. 'The Tipping Point' by him is also very very good.

Insticively people often now the right answer or response, but then think about it and answer incorrectly. Your gut is often right.

Re: Are you a donkey?
Hi, I'm new to this forum and pretty new to poker too, playing the 4/180s with an IQ of 105...
Could someone please write a bit about the last hand? Why should you do anything but raise when you hold a full house and think villain just made a flush that will probably call your raise?

Re: Are you a donkey?
Now I know why I occasionally get "clock" called on me when playing live:
[ QUOTE ] Your Computational Speed score of 10% is significantly lower than your average percentile score.This score is better than 0.38% of all persons taking this test. [/ QUOTE ] Apparently I should also move more to cash games: [ QUOTE ] Your Tournament Play score of 34% is significantly lower than your average percentile score.This score is better than 14.31% of all persons taking this test. [/ QUOTE ] Pretty muched demolished everything else though, it appears.

Poker Test Development
Does anyone have any interest in developing a Tournament Poker Test? I am Ph. D. student with excellent (if I do say so myself) training in test development and construction. I have been thinking a lot lately about what makes poker players different from the population in general and what makes great poker players better than average poker players.
I'd like to develop a test (similar to HOH #3: The workbook) in which we could score people on poker tournament abilities. However, the only way to score the test is to get expert opinions on what the best answer(s) is/are (or mathematical calculations for simpler problems). So I am looking for some help. Eventually, I'd like to test-run this test and publish it on the web. What I would really like to get is something that is diagnostic of actual playing ability in tournaments. The areas I need the most help in are as follows: 1) Creating (independent of HOH3) a range of tournament poker questions (easy to difficult). 2) Determining the best answers to these questions. 3) Testing and publishing it on the web. If anyone is interested, please PM me. R. Sherman Ph. D. Student Personality/Social Psychology
