I'd be interested to know how folks do.

I got the same 99+/99+. I guessed at quite a few of them and think I got at least some of those wrong, so either their standards are low or I was darn lucky.

Ditto ... maybe everyone gets the same score regardless. ;)

Ditto -- and I'm sure I got a lot of the questions wrong. But the result says:

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

That probably simply means, all the others participants were equally bad.

HTB.

Edited to add:

Did all of you people read the right line? The big announcement in the middle is the 99.9% (compared to other people your age and gender). All the way at the top, almost unnoticable it says " You scored 55% Travel Smart! 71% Travel Safe!" I hope I don't have to be embarrassed :o

I saw high-70 something for travel smart & mid-80 something for travel safety, but didn't cut and paste that and got the following:

99 relative to comp group, 83 and 86 general. Train questions were hard since I rarely use them outside of Japan.

That test does provide varied results: on my first go-round, I scored 71/88 (resulting in 99/99); I deliberately failed the second time around (20/31) and was advised that I scored "higher than 0%" for either branch of the test. So there you go. :)

Higher than 99% on both of the comparative measures, as expected after reading this thread.

One question I didn't agree with was the one about the airline hubbing at KUL. I think the choices were Garuda, Silk Air, Eva and Asiana. AFAIK, none of those have a KUL hub. Or was it me that was wrong?

"Been there, done that, got the t-shirt" is apt to be your motto. You've got an encyclopedic travel knowledge and a taste for life on the road. I would not be surprised if you're taking this test a continent or two away from your home. You are a zen master of travel.

huts Mar 22, 2006 11:59 am

I think "zen master" is a bit over the top for a 77%/80% result, but I am sitting "a continent or two" away from home.

In fact, I'm not sure that Silk Air even flies to KUL.
