<p>Seriously, how many college students with limited work experience (or none at all) can honestly answer even half those questions?</p>
<p>thats definitely a good point… but its the thinking pattern that matters… as long as you understand the question… whether or not you have experience is almost irrelevant… b/c they are trying to identify certain styles of thought… but a good point none the less</p>

<p>Whatever all of that means…I already know I’m a bada**. I didn’t need this to tell me. Maybe I"ll put it on my application. Lmao.</p>
<p>wait is there something wrong with mine…how can I get 200 points and everyone else is getting around 70…maybe mine screwed up. It looks like the break down of points is pretty similar to everyone else’s…</p>
<p>it doesn’t look like being an extraordinary executive is truly “exceptionally rare.” Haha.</p>
<p>Having regular opportunities to chat with the CEO of my company, and playing a group behind him at a charity (McGruff house) golf tournament (being able to observe his demeanor at a social event), and working directly with the VP of the company I can honestly say that this test is pretty brilliant and accurate (IOW, i’d take it’s advice and follow the patterns)… Executives are very service oriented, and are not the type to stomp feet for selfish reasons… they are a lot different than I imagined… the VP I work with just has this confident expectation demeanor… he is always very nice, very respectful, and just seems to know that after all everything will turn out fine, just keep doing your best. The other day while I was riding in his beautiful company vehicle with him, he said, “311Griff, good things will come, just keep going to school, and good things will come.”</p>
<p>It’s great… and a good example to me about what executives are REALLY like.</p>
<p>Of course I only scored a 62 on the quiz, so I have some improving to do!</p>
<p>wow thats really interesting 311Griff… thanks for the input</p>
<p>brand 182… your score is actually around a 55… all they do is take your average from all 5 of the categories</p>

<p>your Real score is a 67… you take the total sum of all 5 and divide by 5… there seems to b a glitch for some ppl who take it… a 67 is regarded as a Successful Proffesional… which is quite a good score by the way</p>
<p>oh…but i’m still special right?</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>hahah of course…</p>
<p>Thanks KG974, interesting test, I hope it correlates with real life :P</p>
