Reader Reviews
I may have a master's degree and I may be a member of Mensa but that doesn't mean I can do well on the tests in this book. The tests in this book are highly specialized: from auto mechanic to ballroom dancer to wine taster to interior decorator. Unless you have experience and expertise in these areas, the questions will probably go over your head. I attempted these sorts of tests but found that after the third or fourth question I had lost interest because it was so foreign to me that I would not have even the slightest clue. However, in a way I think that is the purpose of the book. To give you an appreciation of the knowledge and expertise required by various occupations. An auto mechanic needs to know a whole lot more than just using a wrench. A CPA does more than just crunching numbers. Wine tasters have to really know their wine and be able to critique it on many factors. It isn't sampling something in the grocery store. Still there were a few tests that were more accessible to the general public and involved more everyday common sense knowledge. An example is the elementary school teacher test and the U.S. History test. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
