the Mechanical Aptitude test, smaht stuff, pullies, circuits, gear ratios etc...
Tried taking it while fielding calls here at work and only got a 78%, though I didnt see any questions on when and how to use a BFH, bailing wire, brakleen or duct tape

I pulled a %78 - and I say fuck 'em.
Decelleration is not a recognized physical term. It's all accelleration, increase or decreasing. I still make MacGyver drool

88% for me. I'd have felt really bad if I did any worse, considering I just graduated from OSU as a Mech E.

Crap, I just realized it was a FORD test. No wonder a couple of the scenarios are bogus. The first electrical schematic with the short in it... all three bulbs would light up until one of them acted as the fuse, since there was not one included in the circuit.
Freaking Fordmaroons.  ETA: or... Asa can correct my assumption. |

I managed 74% and I'm an artsy type that designs frocks and pants for a living, should I be worried if all it takes is another 6% to start designing engines for Ford.......(looks alarmedly at his fusion.

82% here. Would have been 86% but I somehow transposed two different answers in the time it took me to look from the diagram to the choices. Ah well.
Fun test though. |

ETA. Fan question is fucking stupid. screwed up the hydraulic problem, the balloon one, and the engine intake one (Technically correct I suppose, but both answers are really the same thing.) Reminds me of the mechanical portion of the ASVAB... |

I usually just lurk hear, but this drew me out.
Anyways, 84 for me. I really should have scored more like a 96% except for the fact that I ran out of duct tape and bailing wire. Also I'm just not that smart. |
