It reminds me of a typing test that the HR test facilitator lined up incorrectly, causing my test to have a 99% error rate, fortunately they were so incompetent that they recorded a 99% success rate.

I just nodded sagely when they complemented me on my typing skills.

Wait, how does that work? Aren't there marked keys?

For a typing test to work, the text (in a paper book) and the computer need to be "on the same page" as it were.

Oh haha, im old enough that the test involved a covered typewriter (so no backspacing). It's not like I ever used a typewriter in any other situation, but the test was done on one.

Ok answers aside, what kind of fucking test is that?

It's training that my organization created in-house for Blackboard (learning management system). To be fair, Blackboard works fine; the problem is this company's half-assed attempt to make their own training modules.

This was the cognitive screening test for President of the United States before Trump removed the requirement due to it being a Democratic conspiracy to keep him out of office.

I'm guessing that the computer randomises the answer list, to limit cheating. The rest writer was likely cursing it too.

For real. It looked like someone screenshot it with a potato.
