Do you have what it takes to be an engineer?

[tyred]

Take the quiz here - https://www.women.com/erinbrigman/q...lash-15-on-this-test-you-could-be-an-engineer

Thankfully as someone with a background in engineering I got them all right

 

[LCpl Boiled Egg]

Got the lot. Maybe I did listen in school after all.... Nah, definitely some lucky guesses in there.

 

[Dayvo]

100%

My father, grandfather, great-grandfather were all engineers, and it was assumed I'd follow suit. But no, I became a bum/hedonist.

Maybe when I grow up...

100% - not sure how I managed that. I was once told that I could do any job except be an engineer.

 

[midlife]

100% , I see nothing has changed since my o levels in 1976 lol

Umm apparently it's a spoof. Supposedly everyone gets 100% and then shares it with people as a quite clever form of spam advertising.

Admittedly I didn't try any wrong answers to check, but that's what the comments say

 

[Sharky]

Are you sure this test is correct.
Got a 100% the first time, then did it again choosing the first answer in every case. Still got a 100% ?

It was all a bit basic, wasn't it! Still ...

I just put the wrong answers in ...

 

[Speicher]

100% for me.

I tried a similar experiment. I guess we are both irredeemable nerds.

 

[Dayvo]

I did it again using incorrect answers and was told I probably wouldn't become an engineer.

I prefer to think I've wasted my potential, rather than being fooled into thinking I'm naturally clever.

 

[welsh dragon]

Oops. Surprise surprise. Mr WD however was an engineer? I won't show him my result.

I once tried the mock exam for the 15th Edition of Wiring Regulations, and "passed" without any Prior Learning and without referring to the handbook. That might be more of a challenge as to who can use their mathematics, common sense, and their noggin to work out what the question means. That would not make you an electrician, but it would show an aptitude for working things out on paper.

Before any lectricians start throwing things at me, it is interesting to see what you can work out, not how easy it is to re-wire an entire house.

The answer options were in a different order the second time I did it.

 

[Stephenite]

I got 100% the first time I took it. And 100% again with one deliberately wrong answer.
