9 out of 20. I did best on spatial tests, worse on knowing biology.

Hmmmm

9/20, but a couple were just basic knowledge questions, I don't feel they really test your senses.

And thus, the general consensus is:

bio is a dumbass

I figured I'd be able to at least beat eddie. He's a foreigner!

10/20 - I completely disagree that caviar and white chocolate is a tasty combination. :puke:

I was on question 12 (with the sound) and it crashed my Mozilla.

Before that I had 4 incorrect answers.

Jeeze... I just had biology class a couple of semesters ago... I guess I retained something. Plus being an art student and musician helps too...

I'm almost ashamed to admit it...

20/20.

Sorry. Really.





But I agree with the above. If its a matter of taste, there's a lot of things that aren't as universal as this test makes out. Neither caviar nor white chocolate are given for being tasty much less together. I only knew that one because of the regions of the toungue they activate.

And as for the sound scale, I recognized the synth mode used there so I knew it was the same collections of tones, but the sound sample was so low-res, I could have easily been wrong.

Since I don't have sound working on my Linux box through Netscape (dunno why really), I didn't get any sound tests. darnit.

The food combinations, though I got them all correct, was really just a fluke. I figure they might taste okay, but not something I'd fancy to really eat on a regular or even semi-regular basis. I was mostly surprised I even got them right, as I thought they might be more subjective.

As for the scientific parts, like which parts of the tongue sense what, I really bombed. Hmm, it's only been 20 some years since I had that education.

mayme my tongue haff gonn nummb

:?

Now as for the spatial tests, I slam dunked those. I guess that makes me an intravert or something.

Lets examine your choice of vocation... being an intravert is part of the job description (we do work in the land of plaid!).
