[tan top]

i thought i knew some stuff  76%

[Charger74]

That's funny, cause I got the same score... 

[1BAD68]

I got a 370

[terrible one]

Eesh. . . 360 points.

[ramit]

I only got 290 points.  It's a good thing I don't want to work for Ford anyways.

[19Charger68]

Guess I will keep my day job - 74%

[Troy]

Ha! Ask anyone - I'm not very mechanically inclined but I'm good with engineering. I passed with an 80% (400) on the first try.

[Orange_Crush]

82% here

[moparstuart]

 man i got 1/2 way through and got a horrible head acke , why you wanna go and make me think like that. !

Hey Me too! 

[70charginglizard]

I didn't have patience enough to go thru 50 questions....wheres my beer...

[bull]

So this is a test to work on Fords? How much aptitude do you need to swing a hammer?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

And to think I actually worked on diesel buses for a living....I better stick to telling people to fix them now....

68% for me

[Charger_Fan]

I got 78%...which sucks. I thought for sure I did better than that.
I did get one the the series/parallel things wrong & I'm not positive on my sun/planetary/ring gear answer.

Oh well, pretty fun though.

I think you missed more than two if you got 78% But hey, you've got me beat. I think I got 74% and I work on planetary gears all the time. Never had one sieze up on me yet though. My problem is ADD I think. I got bored with the test after about 18 questions.

[Manfred318]

270 points at 54% Im such a dumbass

[Charger_Fan]

I think you missed more than two if you got 78%

I think so too, those are only the ones that I pretty much knew I missed. I'm definitely gonna study the next planetary gear setup I run across a little closer.
I liked the serpentine belt routing one, I did one of those just last week.    

[histoy]

I took it once and got 430 points - 86%.   I guess that I'm qualified to learn how to work on Fords...lol

[Chad L. Magee]

I ended up with 410 points (82%) after my first try, but I don't want to work there.  I know I messed up on the lever section  , so I will have to brush up on that part.  The physics I usually work with in the laboratory involves either gas laws (PV=nRT), electrical circuits (instrumental wiring) or thermal energy transfer (refluxing reactions)......

[BigBlackDodge]

390 78%...............not to bad for a hillbilly.

[Tilar]

It's just basic mechanics... I guess thats why I make the big bucks 

Ok, so I don't make the big bucks anymore...

[gers1968rt]

Hey, I love that stuff  470=94 percent.

[69CoronetRT]

80%

but someone explain to me the air pressure on the outside of the baloon question.... how can it be more on one than another?

[Tilar]

80%

but someone explain to me the air pressure on the outside of the baloon question.... how can it be more on one than another?

I think it asks about the barometric pressure.... It will be the same on all of them.

That's what I thought.

[hemigeno]

I got lucky on a couple of guesses, but didn't do too bad I suppose.

[Magnumcharger]

Mine...

[charger_mike75]

I took the test and failed. 76%   I reviewed the ones i missed, and i hate to say but some of the ones it said i missed, their answers were WRONG.   I think it's safe to say that the air and fuel enter the combustion chamber on the intake stroke.      I don't see how some of those questions relate to working on a vehicle either, maybe new cars need you to use a pully system to work on them?

[SeattleCharger]

wow, I thought I was doing awesome, then I get a 78%, 390 points when it was all said and done,   heh

[Charger_Fan]

80%

I had a problem with that one too, I guess that would make sense. I took the question as the balloons being in differing amounts of vacuum, making them larger or smaller.

Congrats to the rest of you brainiacs!

My head still hurts from yesterday

[PocketThunder]

390.  78%  Damn, I almost passed!  Did i mention i'm a carpenter?

[Charger_Fan]

Did i mention i'm a carpenter?

Really? Any relation to Karen & Dave?

paul dont starve your self !!!!!!!

[SeattleCharger]

Actually, quite a few of us got a 78%, which I didn't realize til later is only one question (ten points per question, right?),  one question from passing,  that isn't that bad,       reminds me of sections of the SAT with all those gears turning which way and that,
   I think I got the volts one wrong when it was in series or parallel with the batteries, some lucky guesses and some unlucky guesses.
  Hey, I have a Bronco,    shouldn't I have done better?   

[supserdave]

Stupid gears....

Oh well, still passed.

Hey Arthur, you see Arthur (excalibur story)  movie version with Clive Owen?   cool movie

[Mike DC]

 
Just owning a Ford is a mechanical aptitude test. 

[Rolling_Thunder]

480pts...      96%

Did buy it (buy most movies, books, etc I see with King Arthur) haven't watched it yet, normally not really into the fantasy kind of movies. But since you recommend it, I'll go watch it.

Must be a Tri-state thing
I got 400 too (so Troy, why do work on computers?)

Probably because they're less greasy.

[SeattleCharger]

   That test is very similar to parts of the SAT college entrance exam and also the LSAT law school admission test,   it tests reasoning and logic, aptitude/cognitive ability etc,   that's why most of us are doing ok even if we don't work at ford or professional mechanics, because dodgecharger.com just attracts more intelligent members, haha, no, but really, I would say 3/4 of that test was SAT or LSAT type problems almost exactly, (well, maybe a third of LSAT is that stuff, SAT prob. one section out of four,     there were some more specific engine/wiring whatever, but with some basic understanding of those areas and some reasoning or logic, an educated guess could be made, 
  I thought that test was fairly challenging, we should all be proud, just saying, professional people aren't any smarter just because they have classic education or whatever,       tilar,  hemigeno,  I can't explain your score      no, that is really high, wth

Okay, someone tell me. . .

What's the answer to the planetary gear question? I sat there for a good while thinking about that one.

Not to mention an electrical aptitude test.

I work *with* (not on) computers because I don't get bored (changes too quickly), it pays better, and my body doesn't get beat up as much as it did when I was working manual labor jobs. I currently work at a place where I get to play with machines when I want so it's sort of the best of both worlds. I've put a lot of thought into merging my skills and branching off into a new area. I think it'd be a blast to create systems for EFI/ignition, active suspension, tracking/locating, or calibration/monitoring for cars. Most of what I find fascinating falls under the realm of race cars or prototypes and that's a hard industry to break into - plus, the job security isn't all that great with budgets and priorities changing almost daily.

I didn't do so hot, a 76%.
