fun if you like to do quizzes. You can take the full 150 question quiz or a 30 question sampler. http://nps.gov/edis/edifun/quiz/quizhome.htm (p.s. I didn't get hired)

I didn't even get an interview! Some of the questions were a little difficult for someone not living in the US - that's my excuse anyway!!

a 67% the first try, even on the 2nd time around, the best I could do was 80%. :mecry: Just think, the poor sods that had to take this for real didn't have the luxury of multiple choice, they had to write the answers out.

XYZ as well (68 is a popular score)! Interesting how often my first guess was right, then once I thought about it I decided I was wrong and picked another answer. Guess I'm stuck with the job I've already got!

I have decided to totally embrace my XYZness. It's not just that I am obviously in excellent company, but I have to say that not having a zillion unrelated factoids at my disposal just doesn't seem to be a huge problem. I think I am a nice person, I really care about other people, and I actually do see my dentist twice a year. The fact that I am not sure where the Bay of Fundy is isn't going to wreck my day.
The only problem I am having is that George scored four points higher than I did. I am so going to have to get even with him for this.

Dang...
Completed it in 17 minutes to get a 76%.
Another XYZ'er... Science and technology are not my strong suits.
I'll have Lyndon take it when he returns from NZ.
He should do well as there are no questions about American sports figures or Hollywood entertainers.
