Reality Check by Dave Whamond for April 01, 2013

Pick 3

E. None of the above… it is a trick question.

It’s a Psych. experiment. Kids in our dorm that were taking Psych 101, were going around telling this totally stupid story and then laughing like idiots, as if it was the funniest joke ever and then seeing if you would laugh also. Very annoying .

I actually had this as a final exam in college at Ohio University in 1969. Got an A. For real.

Yes, it is a trick question, because the second question is “What grade would you LOVE?”.

A. Duh!Unless you want a C or D, which means you didn’t pass expectations

Check all of them to be on the safe side.

I actually had a prof in college that did this. I didn’t need the help but some did, and got it…

The second question was “What grade will you work for?”

funny.

Assuming that you desperately need to get an A on this exam would make all the alternatives extremely negative. This causes all positive statements like: Appreciate, Like Prefer, Love, Want, Seek, and so on, to end up with the same result of ticking the “A” box and nothing else.
