So I failed the Hobby Lobby math test during an interview. You are supposed to get 8/16 questions right. I got 4. Should I kill myself? This is what the math test is like if you did not know.

I actually don't know how to long-division or multiplication, but I can just do those questions in my head. Any time I have had to do long division or multiplication as an adult, I've always had to study beforehand to relearn how to do it.

I give employees an excel math test, they have to be able to at least do simple formulas like adding or multiplying. Maybe I'll do something like this as well.

[Anonymous No.50690960]

>>50689242
Easy bro

7*8 = 56
30*90 = 2700
8*30 = 240
90*7 = 630
Add them together

6 in the ones place
12 in the tens place carry the one
1+7+2+6 = 16 in the hundreds place carry the one
2+1 = 3 in the thousand's place

3626
3663
3700
and yes I'm so autistic I would solve it and check it this way, I would likely fail the hobby lobby quiz because I would take too long.

Bad idea. You need more than just pattern recognition, you also need motivation and drive to grind knowledge. A combination might work for some studies because sometimes people have the knowledge, but not the problem thinking capabilities, and sometimes people have neither or both.

I actually never considered that method, I always went the long way of
(7x8)+((7x9)10)+((3x8)10)+((3x9)100)

maybe common core isn't so bad after all

[Anonymous No.50691794]

>>50691734
The idea of common core is basically how the smart kids in math implicitly become smart on their own. I was essentially doing common core in my head without ever thinking about it. The problem is that teachers are fucking retarded and often implement the common core teachings terribly and end up bricking kids. Essentially common core brings up the shitter kids but doesn't do much for the kids that were already going to do well anyway and has more a chance of bringing them down.

>You need more than just pattern recognition
Another hidden problem with modernity is that IQ tests have, of course, gone woke.

They used to include logic problems, special reasoning, puzzles, reading comprehension, things like that. You know, things that smart people are good at but dumb people are bad at.

Of course, niggers would fail all of these HARD. Like their average score was 2sd lower, putting like 40% of all black people into the disabled retarded category. So naturally they called all those parts of the test racist because solving problems or thinking things out is whipepol bullsheyiiit. The only tests where whites and blacks scored anywhere near each other were the stupid non-numerical pattern things, the squares where you are supposed to “feel” what comes next or whatever. It’s also the test where mega autists do well.

This should explain to you why every year or so you see a mass media fluff piece about some 9 year old black child that “has an IQ score higher than Einstein!!!”

The best IQ test is literally, simply the verbal section of the SAT, given unprompted and surprise, and not studied for, outside of a professional psychological array. Here is a list of tests that are of good quality:

nope first gen engineering student here. Extremely lazy I passed by skipping every optional class & just cramming before tests. around 135 IQ not even that high

Cramming isn't lazy. You can have high IQ, not give a shit, not cram, and fail because you think it doesn't even matter if you drop out and live on neetbux.
You're efficient, not entirely lazy. Skipping optional classes is just reasonable, no point wasting your capacity on things you don't need.

I wanted to look at this and be like "lol OP is a retard", but no. I'm not doing that maths without a calculator.
If I have to multiply 3 digit numbers together, it takes less time to pull my phone out than to work it out.
Fuck that dumb shit; and fuck any employer making you do that dumb shit, OP. You're better off.
