Your Observation Skills Get A B



Your senses are pretty sharp (okay, most of the time)
And it takes something big to distract you!

I got a B. However, some of the questions are kind of difficult to answer. For example, back in Louisiana, hot dog buns came in packs of 8 like the franks, up here an 8 pack is hard to find, it's usually twelve. Fans can turn either direction - ceiling fans have a switch to flip so you can make it blow the hot air down in the winter and the cool air up in the summer. The buttons are on her left, but if you were dressing her they're on your right (that's why they are opposite men). The test needs to be clarified a bit.

The fan question is also flawed because it doesn't specify in which direction you should be viewing the fan from. Also, I'm not 90 so some of those things I haven't seen or used in years and when I did use them I was a little kid.

Were there other questions besides the venetian blind one? Hmm, so THAT'S why it wouldn't give me my score.

that test is complete bullshit. i'd like to take whoever made it out in the woods and see which one of us spots various wildlife first.

This test isn't so much about observance, but about rememberance. I observe very minute details in my life, but I'd be hard pressed to remember them a year from now.

I don't bother retaining useless knowledge about the locations and directions of items. I have a nervous system that does a damned fine job operating these tools without my having to remember if its on the left side.

Fuckthis.

I got a C. Need to know which I got wrong, another flaw in the test.
