In yesterday’s post I posted the “friend test” which is both amusing and revealing at the same time. A number of my friends have taken it as well as some people I don’t know quite as well. I assumed the better the friend, the better the score, but clearly this isn’t the case.
Since I was able to control the questions and answers, nobody who knows the least bit about me should score below 50% because if you’ve ever read my website, you can get 50%. If you’ve visited my website and visited my blog regularly, you should get around 70%. To get past that mark you’d actually have to know something about me.
Let me say, I’m pleased at José’s score because not only did he get the highest score so far, he e-mailed me to correct one of his answers which would have put him at 90% — out of a possible 95% since one question I don’t expect anyone could answer right except by sheer luck (the people group question). I expected he’d do well, and he did.
I’ve learned something from this: for the most part, the people I expected to know me really well, don’t — and the people I didn’t necessarily expect to know me so well have done better than I expected. A score of 70% is where I expected my friends to start in, but that hasn’t happened. I’m not sure if I should be upset, sad, distressed, disappointed, or what. I don’t want to call out names because I don’t want to embarrass anyone.
