Any IQ test is hard for him

[-] KnitWit@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It isn’t even an iq test, it’s a cognitive test. For dementia and stroke patients. Questions are things like ‘place the numbers where they go on an analog clock.’

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 0 points 3 months ago

I wonder if they're going to change that one. More and more people are going to go their whole lives without ever seeing an analog clock.

People on here get all upset about kids these days who can't read an analog clock. Funnily enough, a lot of those people think it's completely reasonable that they don't know how to drive a manual.

To be fair, it was mostly that one idiot who thought it should disqualify students from sitting exams..

Funnily enough, a lot of those people think it's completely reasonable that they don't know how to drive a manual.

And I agree. Just like analog clocks and indeed internal combustion engine cars in general, manual transmissions are technology that used to be the norm but is now old fashioned, unnecessary except for rare use cases, and fast approaching obsolete.

By modern automotive standards, manual transmissions are already obsolete. That said... They're so damn fun to drive, and you feel way more in control because in some sense you are. Just not in the power and fuel savings that the machine picks

He can't even spell IQ

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago

Well there's a lower side to the IQ spectrum. It's why I like to call people idiots.
