Byzantium Cognitive Test

[jwslam]

Questions seem so abstract and I'm sitting through all 20 questions wondering wtf

The description seemed pretty accurate.

I have no clue how they deem that I'm "within the top 20% of the country"

Apparently it stems from Cinemax's Hunted

I'm apparently in the top 20% as well.


You are an Autonomous Striver with Hidden Strength.

Your responses indicate a desire to overcome a persistent feeling of emptiness or dissatisfaction. You believe life should have more to offer, and fear you have somehow not achieved everything you deserve.

Your desire for legitimate respect and success has led to increasing anxiety. Consequently, you no longer exhibit some of the friendliness and openness for which you were once known.

Similarly, you fear being overly influenced by others. You are often fiercely independent, which sometimes leads to being resistant to the opinions of friends and relatives — even to the point of denying what you fear may actually be true.

This behavior stems from your wish to be regarded as an authority. It leads you to react strongly when you suspect you might be wrong. At times you feel that too much is being asked of you, and that you are not properly recognized for your efforts. This situation — be it fueled by others’ jealousy or negligence — adds to the stress in your life.

Luckily, your determination is unyielding. Unlike others facing similar adversity, you forge ahead despite the challenges. Through strength of will or simple endurance, you are unique in your ability to withstand the troubles of a complicated life.

Yay, I scored in the top 20% of the country.

This test is potato

[bitteeinbit]

Also scored top 20%, though the description fits me perfectly for some reason. And it's not overly vague like many of these "personality tests" are.

[jonnycat]

lol in the facial recognition test (#3) where it uses your webcam I scored in the top 5%. Problem is I don't have a webcam on this laptop

[jwslam]

I did it a second time.
The questions come up different.

It still says I'm top 20 but the description was completely different than what I had before.




Unlike most people, you have a strong — at times destructive — independent streak. Routine tasks are frustrating and often impossible to complete, unless you’ve created them for yourself.

At the moment, you are under substantial stress and anxiety. This is caused by the unshakable feeling that you’re not fully in control of your own life.

An existing relationship in your life, either romantic or business-related, is currently unsatisfactory. You’re presently contemplating the possibility of escape. This can make you irritable or uncomfortable at times, even around the people you love.

However, when you are in control, you’re capable and even excited to make difficult decisions. This occasionally leaves you feeling isolated or alone. You are willing to make this trade-off, if it means being in charge of your own life.

The darker emotions inside you — those underlying urges that all humans have — are very strong. And yet, you have the ability to harness that energy to achieve your goals. This makes you unique among our testing population. You can focus your energy, both positive and negative.

[jonnycat]

go throught the whole test and I bet you make it into the top 1%

[bitteeinbit]

Probably just a ploy to create traffic and make cash. Or maybe just marketing.

[spikerS]

I am principled independent, with a dark side.

Your responses indicate a desire to escape from your troubles, and a fear that this action will destroy what you’ve already achieved.
These conflicting emotions sometimes cause you to be abnormally irritable and impatient when your needs are not met. Your concentration is also impacted, often leaving you feeling groggy or agitated.
The ensuing anxiety usually leaves you feeling vulnerable. As a result, you become less affectionate with people you care about. You occasionally become caustic and even needlessly cruel.
This stems from your own insecurity and fear of failure. Leveraging your ability to remain strong in the face of adversity — an ability you’ve proved to possess in the past — is the key to your emotional satisfaction.
You have a strong opinion of your own abilities, which is deserved. You are sharp and intellectually discerning when the need arises. In times of great stress, you have the will power to make difficult decisions.

It's marketing, and it's apparently it's working, lol.

[Kramerica]

The whole thing reminded me of the test from blade runner. opyrighted by HBO, definitely a marketing ploy, but its a pretty good one though.

[civiclvr]

hahaha the last test they get you to draw something that you drew and had on the fridge from your childhood.. I drew a t-rex cause i know i used to draw them all the time.. apparently it was supposed to be a boat?
Still got the 1% though.. definate marketing ploy. kinda neat though

[Xtrema]

Saw this on reddit, sounds like it's horoscope type shit that will find majority people identify themselves with the finding.

[D'z Nutz]

Coincidentally, everyone who scored in the top 20% also happen to be the same people who have won free cruises from entering draws.

Not only do you have a hard time stringing together a legible sentence but you also have to throw in homophobic slurs at the same time?

At least he can say, for once, I am the 1%.
