Test your ability to recognize genius.

Is that glimmer in his eyes schizophrenia, or deep thoughts about string theory? Are those crumbs in his beard locally-sourced gluten-free artisan bread, or are they from a dumpster outside Wendy's? Test your skill by playing Professor or Hobo?

Report your score here.

For someone who's been around a lot of professors, I didn't do so well, only four out of ten.

Maryn, who may be married to a hobo

Heh, that was funny - 7/10. One really fooled me - the other two I got wrong I'd pondered but that one I thought I was right with no hesitation.

I recognized all those AW mods but did it anyway.

I got 5/10 for clicking hobo on all of them, yay me!

7/10

Several of my geology profs would have fit in very well in this quiz.

I tried to be smart about it, picking the options that didn't seem obvious, going against my natural instinct and... I got 2/10.

Looking back through it afterwards, I would've got 8/10 had I been sensible about it. *shrug*

Okay, Maryn, you just gave me a seriously weird moment! I clicked on the quiz and...

...guy #2 taught me a course when I was at university.

6/10, if I'm not disqualified for having insider information.

Dang! I got 9/10 right. :D It bugs me the one I missed 'cause I second guessed myself.

If you get 10/10, you instantly qualify as a professor yourself.

Of course, getting 0/10 means you have to become a hobo. It's a risk you're just going to have to take.

8/10. It's killing me that I can't tell which ones I got wrong.

After you click the check it or whatever button at the end it gives the score and then the page transforms to show you who's who. That page has 'solutions' I think as the last part of the link.

Ah, I was looking at it on the mobile version. That seemed kind of b0rked, so that makes sense.

9/10 - I got the first one wrong. I guess all the acting classes are finally paying off. :Shrug:
