Do you always think that people are plotting against you?

Is the government involved in a plot to specifically undermine your personal goals?

Does your reality tend to resemble a Thomas Pynchon novel?

If so, you may be a victim of paranoia. In which case, I strongly recommend that you take a few minutes to browse through this online test. Believe me, you won’t regret it. I just took it myself and was relieved to find out that I’m NOT paranoid (The government IS involved in a plot to specifically undermine my personal goals. I didn’t just make it up!!!)

Have fun.

Calculus is the most commonly recognized genre of advanced mathematics. But there are two distinct types of calculus: differential and integral.

The easiest way to explain the differences is to say that differential calculus is meant to understand the instantiated moments of a process of change, where as integral calculus does just the opposite. Make sense?

If you’re a calculus freak like me, take this test.

It won’t bite.

The Tim and Eric Show is perhaps a masterpiece of post-modern television. It is television taken to the 17th degree, which is perhaps a few degrees further than it should ever be taken. Bla bla bla, I could go on about this show for days. But you can take a quiz about this show by following a link at the end part of this doc, it’s a quiz that you’ll take on it.

For your health.

Our solar system has eight different planets, four of them solid and four gaseous. There is also “pluto” which isn’t really a planet at all (or so they say).

This test will examine your knowledge of these wonderful wandering globes, once thought by the Greeks to correspond to the great gods of Olympus.

If you need to, check out a solar system map before you begin the quiz.

Planets Quiz

Constellations are a joy to study and identify. I definitely recommend taking a night to look up at the sky and identify constellations while you wait for shooting stars.

But your experience will be much more enjoyable if you do a little bit of studying ahead of time so that you can begin identifying constellations after your first five minutes. Otherwise, you’ll just end up looking up at a bunch of nondescript white dots. Use this quiz to get you star(t)ed.

Constellation Quiz

The tests in this category consist of trivia about the Universe as well as an occasional test or two on constellations. The constellation tests can be especially enjoyable. Back when I taught elementary school, the students liked nothing better than going out on field trips to identify the constellations. I can hardly describe the joy in their eyes as they would look up in the night sky and scream out the names of the constellations, they tiny voices trembling with joy.

Now you can share in this joy by checking out some of these tests.

But is it the same?

This test is so difficult that most people would say it’s impossible. It is essentially an IQ test, but unlike most IQ tests, even someone with an IQ of 160 or above will not be able to answer all of the questions. (On a standard IQ test, a few test takers will be able to answer all of the questions, but at differing speeds, allowing for a large range of differentiation).

So, this test probably won’t give you a terribly accurate IQ reading, but it should at least be an interesting challenge.

Give it a shot!

Woodwork is a profession that can be richly rewarding in a number of ways. It allows you to work with your hands, using combinations of tools to solve geometrical problems and build useful articles of furniture and furnishings.

But you need to have a certain amount of knowledge to be able to have a successful woodworking career.

This test will help you find out if you have the knowledge which is necessary for a career in carpentry. Answer each question carefully, because your future depends on it!

The Woodworker’s Quiz

I went to Japan recently to do some research on the ocean life that is strewn across its beautiful beaches, but as I was doing so, I realized that I have very little working knowledge of the geographical divisions of the country.

This made me decide to do some research into Japan’s many wonderful cities and provinces. There is an interesting history behind each locality. But you can only begin to unlock the secrets of Japans geography if you commit to spending a bit of time in serious study of the countries topography.

This only quiz will help you to accomplish this goal.

Have fun.

There are several different dialects of American English spoken in the United States aside from “standard” American English.

This test will examine your dialect based on a few questions concerning usage. This test is not perfect (several dialects are missing), but it is still a pretty interesting tool and is fairly accurate.

Don’t take it too seriously. Just try to have a good time and don’t stress yourself out.

Good luck!
