    To keep with the tide:

    PHP
    You scored 60 Problem Solving, 69 Common Sense, and 56 Creativity!
    Although generally used for pretty specific functions, PHP pretty much does it all. It has to employ front-end interfaces but relies heavily on back-end structure, so both problem solving and creativity is important. And because PHP is predominantly used for dynamic web-based content, a little common sense and "knowing your audience" is pretty important.


    My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

    You scored higher than 99% on Problem Solving

    You scored higher than 99% on Common Sense

    You scored higher than 99% on Creativity

    This looks like another pathetic triple-coin-toss test. :rolleyes: I fudged the answers a couple times to come up with the other two I found:

    p = problem solving, s = common sense, c = creativity
    0 = 50% or less, 1 = 51% or more

    0p/0s/0c = Eh, whatever works
    0p/0s/1c = HTML (from C-F)
    0p/1s/0c = ?
    0p/1s/1c = ?
    1p/0s/0c = ?
    1p/0s/1c = Javascript (from Yirimyah)
    1p/1s/0c = C++
    1p/1s/1c = PHP

    @Morgoth:
    Try being less creative. :D

    PHP here again. I did it twice, and selected the oppsite of my honest answers from the first run though, and still got PHP! :bang:

    Somthing tells me this test is rigged. :bs:

    I'd say that I'm C++, the hardest to lean, most complex, but most rewarding language there is! :rolleyes: :rolling:

    Oh My God, a non-PHP answer.


    Javascript
    You scored 54 Problem Solving, 48 Common Sense, and 60 Creativity!
    With your main concern being the web, common sense doesn't go too far anyways...who needs it! Creativity and problem solving is a plus, as the nature of scripting for the net is dependant on these two skills most of all.

    Seems 'shotty' to me....
    1st time was HTML (42,40,71) - 0 PS, 0 CS, 99 Creativity - Questions 4 to 10 only said 'Ask question yes/no????????
    2nd time was PHP (64,62,56) - 99 PS, 0 CS, 0 Creativity - all 20 questions , but some were different than 1st batch.....

    Conclusion: guess that makes me a 'creative problemsolver' :)

    I scored Javascript as well with:

    42% Problem Solving
    0% Common Sense
    57% Creativity

    I would have also preferred Prolog. Appart from one or two numerical questions, they had no real relation with informatics. A poorly done and unfinished test
