      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.’

        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.

    Okay so this is the second time he’s done that right?

    He’s confused a dementia test for an IQ test… twice…

    Is that not a sign he might have dementia or something? He should at least remember us making fun of him for it the first time right?

    This is an honest question btw. Am I’m missing something? It’s happened twice now?
