outsdrLast night, I took a quick (for me) online test that involved moving one match stick in an incorrect mathematical formula made from roman numerals to make it a correct formula.
After immediately spotting two different ways in which the test fails, I solved the problems, initially with answers outside of the proper answeres, but followed up with what turned out to be the proper answers when I checked.
The amusing part is that, if a person is able to solve the problems, it indicates that 80% of the time the person has brain damage.
Soooo..... essentially it weeds out any person who is of rational mind but able to think irrationally or broad-mindedly (ala "outside the box") or creative problem solvers and labels them... brain damaged.
Maybe I'm brain damaged. It's entirely possible. But this is the kind of crap that is just like the popular (at one time, and still is for some) concept that all homosexuals are child molesters.
When painting with a very large brush, if you don't keep your area clean, there's going to be a lot of crap floating around in the finished product and it's not going to turn out looking as nice as you wanted.
