    That "suction" question is incorrect, or at least poorly worded. Both A and B are technically correct, depending on how you look at it.

    Other than that I missed two, both circuits questions. I guess that's why I'm not an electrical engineer.

    Just took a mechanical aptitude test for Malin and got a 96%

    Missed 3 questions.

    Took the electronic aptitude test and got an 80%. 20 questions and I couldn't remember SCR's and calculating ohm law. 15 years without ever using it does numbers.

    Still, the guy was impressed enough to call me back for a second interview.

    The wife of an acquaintance, Hank, at ARCO was asked to take a mechanical aptitude test at Lyola University. She was an art major and poet.

    After taking the test, she received a call asking her to come in for a retest. Something had gone wrong. She had scored an impossibly low 6% on the test. Hank knew what was going to happen.....she scored a 4% on the retest.

    She was a very good painter. Her still life paintings were beautiful. But, Hank had to hang them. And he did so for over 55 years.

    True story.
