I PROMISE this time I will check back more often...of course I shall have the wrath of UBAUBADEB (or however it's spelled) for not doing my work...Me, I'm apparently very observant because I got well over the average! Guess it goes with the job, we'll see if it's a trend.
Time to check our brains.........enjoy
These simple little questions are harder than you think. It just shows how little we pay attention to commonplace things in life. Now, no cheating and no looking at things on your desk or computer! The average is 7. Reply by writing down your answers and then by days end or early morning I'll post the answers.

Now before anyone says anything, let me tell you I took this test probably six months to a year ago. So it was as much a memory test as a observance test in my case.
I don't recall how many I got wrong the first time, but it was significantly more than this.
And I will refrain from doing my end-zone dance and saying "neener, neener, neener." x:P
Still no Don.
I figured out Don. He waits until there are tons of posts against a message before he bothers spending his time checking it out.
Which is why he always sounds so "up" on everything . . . he's actually working while we're filling up the forum.
Do you really think Don is working? He has posted on other conferences. Maybe he is just being serious today.
If I see Don in the serious chats, I'll report back.

You did not let us down at all...according to the writers of this test, you are still 'above average'. I still can't believe that 7 out of 29 is average. Guess a lot of people are not observant to their surroundings. We know why us HR types are observant, it's a job requirement.
Maybe we should start giving this test to applicants to see how their observation skills are, what do you all think?
PS - James, when did I move from Tennessee to South Dakota?
