    8/9. The thing about multi choice quizzes is that you can sometimes spot the right answer even if you don't know it, because the other answers sound dumb.

    I was answering honestly and got 5/9. Of the four I got 'wrong', three were with complete knowledge that I was doing so. Had I been trying to get the 'right' answers, I probably would have gotten 7/9.

    I anwered honestly so I guess I'm CEO material. But I'm too lazy to be one. Any test such as this one is over simplified.

    6/9 and Encarta says "Your future looks bright!" with only 67% average - obviously executive standards have slipped over at M$N. :rolleyes:

    This is more a historical quiz - if anything it would judge if you were a visionary CEO.

    Are You CEO Material?
    Don't quit your day job yet ...
    Why not capitalize on your interest in business and think about an online business degree or certification?
    You got 2/9 correct.


    I hate buisseness anyway I am a creator, an artist not this sort of... uncreative money sucker!

    Pfft...it looks like I'm doomed to be a grunt for the rest of my life with a score of only 3/9. :eek:

    In the theater question, they implied that people would rather have sound that matched the actor's mouth, instead of 'Replace the uncomfortable wooden chairs in your theaters with plush reclining chairs.' I mean come on! I'd much rather sit in comfy chairs and laugh about the fact that the words don't match up with the person talking. :shake: :rolling:

    :lol: So true, Kitrax. However the quiz makes as much sense as the "How American are you". Maybe even a little bit more sense.

    5/9. In any case I am not made to be a CEO... I still have a conscience. :p
