So you think you're a car guy...

Found on another site, pretty cool quiz.

Internal Combustion Test
My score: 78 practical, 78 theory, 81 performance.

I can't find it on the site. Oh, and the link takes you to some not-so-suitable-for-all-ages quizzes too.

**redbaron** · 02-15-2006, 08:57 PM

that is true. This particular test is only car related- the rest of the site is pretty nws/nks, so if that is a stumbling point for you, stay away.

I won't post mine, but suffice to say that while i'm smarter than wally, (

) he tests better than I do by a little bit.

Bah, I just hit the link and the test was the first "next" button I saw???

And I must say, I'm an exceptionally good test taker, and do admit that while red scored lower than me, I find myself asking him questions sometimes, although the opposite is never the case.

You scored 68% Practical, 67% Theory, and 61% Performance!

Bah! They don't know nuthin'...

rockin4theking · 02-15-2006, 11:11 PM

I gave up halfway through. I'm no gearhead.

gtrdave · 02-16-2006, 07:47 AM

They didnt have enuf questions about naaaaaawwwwzzzzzz, yo!

mattslope · 02-16-2006, 12:48 PM

I am surprised to have scored as high as I did:

Well-Rounded
You scored 61% Practical, 62% Theory, and 60% Performance!

You scored higher than 32% on Practical

You scored higher than 32% on Theory

You scored higher than 50% on Performance

same here. i got halfway through and the words started to hurt my head.

Scary. I suppose you've always had a better head for that stuff than I.

**redbaron** · 02-16-2006, 05:59 PM

not necessarily, i just waste more time on it.

oh, and i remember numbers.

I remember them, just not how they fit, or where they go.

ok...I guessed my way to this result
The Clinician
You scored 56% Practical, 67% Theory, and 42% Performance!
You have combustion theory and science down pat. You've got an idea of what work and what doesn't in the tuning world, and you can diagnose and fix many engine and fueling issues on your own. You'd make a great mechanic and tuner, but chances are you're more interested in the physics and the science than you are in getting grease under your nails. Your knowledge and experience would make you a prime candidate to be a top-level race mechanic, if you had an interest. Good luck!

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 20% on Practical
You scored higher than 58% on Theory
You scored higher than 10% on Performance

Wow, I surprised myself.

Engineer
You scored 70% Practical, 69% Theory, and 55% Performance!
Well, you understand the physics and principles behind internal combustion, and can even put them to use diagnosing problems. But you lack practical tuning experience that would make you a perfect all-around combustion science expert. You're off to a good start, though, so keep learning!
