Today’s Quiz Brought To You By Rinso

August 21st, 2008 · 4 Comments

Tonight I’m feeling quizzical. I need to take some sort of bogus test to boost my ego. Let’s go to Hello Quizzy and see what they are offering tonight.

Hrmm…The Beatles Lyrics Test? Um no. I probably don’t need anyone to know what a Beatles geek I am.

The Firefly/Serenity Test? Again, do I really need flashing lights and a bullhorn shouting, “Nerd Alert! Nerd Alert!” No, I do not.

The Which Book Next Test which will determine “what book you should read next, in the opinion of a books expert.”? Aaargh! I have enough guilt waiting patiently on my side table for me to put down the remote and read. No thank you.

Ah, now here’s one that should give me just the positive strokes I need without making me into too much of a Q-Ball. Wait. Is it nerdy to still say Q-Ball? Oh, cripes.

The Commonly Confused Words Test

Your result for The Commonly Confused Words Test…

English Genius

You did so extremely well, even I can’t find a word to describe your excellence! You have the uncommon intelligence necessary to understand things that most people don’t. You have an extensive vocabulary, and you’re not afraid to use it properly! Way to go!

All right my lovelies, which test tempts you?

I got the English Genius as well. However I scored 79% on the beginner, 100% on intermediate and 93% on advance and expert. I think thats funny.
Actually this quiz was right up my alley as thats one of my biggest pet peeves - people who mis-use common words. Advise vs Advice is one of the worst!!
thanks.

I got genius, but 100, 100, 93, and 87. I’m sure stationary/stationery got me.

OK, I got 88% on the Beatles test. Rather embarrassing, that.

Here are the books I’m supposed to read:
Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
Foe by J. M. Coetzee
Turn of the Screw by Henry James
Time’s Arrow by Martin Amis
You might also like:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
Mephisto by Thomas Mann

I’ve already read half of those, so that’s a start!

and the quiz of the Day, I got English genius as well.
You scored 100% Beginner, 100% Intermediate, 100% Advanced, and 87% Expert!

I’m frankly a bit disappointed about the 87%. I should take it again and see what happens.

Do they have a test on eating and watching TV? If so, I will kick ass.
