Test with trick questions

December 19, 2023 06:09PM
I have done many shops that require you to take a quiz. It gets very frustrating with quizzes that have trick questions. I have gone through the test. line by line, with the guidelines and still did not pass. They don't show you which questions you got wrong. The test can be a waste of your time. I did one quiz and failed. The scheduler said, one question is a trick question, no matter how you answer, it's counted as wrong.

I remember another test I took required you to watch a cartoon video. One of the questions on the quiz was "What was the color of Bob's shirt in the video?" They have questions that have nothing to do with the shop. There was one shop I did a long time ago, one of the questions on the shop said "what was the color of the employee's eyes?"

Oh please, I hardly know what color my own eyes are. I roll them every time I see eye color as part of the desired employee descriptions.

If your path dictates you walk through hell, do it as though you own the place. -unknown

If you don't know the answer to a multiple choice question, choose "C."
If you did not remember the color of the employee's eyes, choose "Brown." If they were blue, you would probably notice them. If they were green, they would still have looked brownish to you.

On the one test, the question required more than one answer. They needed check boxes, so you could click on more than one answer. The problem was, they used buttons. You could only pick one.

in that case, you pick all of the above, even if one of the answers seems wrong to you.

There was no all of the above. Just two answers and both had buttons, so you could only pick one. It took awhile for them to fix the test.

"Catch 22"
Somebody needs to fix that form and replace the radio buttons with check boxes.

It is related to mystery shopping when they are testing your attention to detail (shirt color, etc.)

On mystery shops they don't ask you these kind of questions. The quiz should be about the actual shop.
