Here's yet another quiz. At least this one doesn't tell you how old you'll die, which celebutard you're most like, or who's your soul mate.

"There is a Twilight Zone episode where a businessman makes a pact with the Devil, which allows him to go back in time so that he can capitalize off of his knowledge about the future. It turns out though that the businessman’s knowledge about the future is all superficial and thus he is unable to jump start any technological advancements by traveling back in time. This would likely be the plight of most contemporary humans if they were sent back in time. While we rely greatly on technology, most of us don’t know much about how it actually works and where the materials to make it come from.

If you were to travel 2000 years into the past, how useful would you be in jumpstarting technological advancements? This 10 question quiz will help you figure out your technological usefulness. If you do poorly on the quiz, as most people likely will, then just let that inspire you to study up more on how things work and where raw materials come from."

Here's my result:

Better than I thought, but not by far. I know a vast amount of shit, but only superficially. I never really learned anything in-depth. After grasping the very basics on how to work with it, I move on to something else.

But anyways, like all quizes, questions, answers and results are very arbitrary, and based solely on the knowledge of the person, or people, who came up with it.

SO you're really gauging your knowledge with someone else's. Someone you've never even met. Someone who may be far, far dumber than you.

Except in Gayr's case. Noone's dumber than him.

I got 8 out of 10. Not bad considering I guessed on most of them.
