yes

while i agree with your attempt to educate wish i appreciate ALWAYS

this material however falls short and is based on "Psychology"

which is not a "science" IMO, but based on relativity, relative to a predictable

environment and predictable outcomes (i could expand in Bro/Sis Chat tonite @8pm EST if you care to attend thanx)

i'm not to crazy about the negative connotation of the title of the test either

One universal feature of a culture or subculture is language. To provide an example of how important language is to culture, the so-called "test" below is a play on how IQ test are said to be culturally biased. The test below is an opportunity to test your "cultural background."

so based on that relevance this test was relevant in the 1970's and was

probably great, this is 2009 this test is irrelevant IMO

and offers NO mental expansion WHATSOEVER

and any Ph.d just means they are a MORE programmed element of this

eurotrix (european matrix) and have been taught "under" that system

To provide an example of how important language is to culture, the so-called "test" below is a play on how IQ test are said to be culturally biased.

i don't think these test are still around i haven't heard about an IQ test

since i was a kid, and is this test is to show IQ tests are culturally biased

well didn't we "discover" that in the.................................1970's & 80's?

i notice (not a comment to you CB) that everything in the eurotrix

is backwards as this test to measure your culture "background"

only to measure how much more programming that needs to be done

anyway i think we should be more concerned with our

CULTURAL "FOREGROUND"

side note: i haven't heard the word "shucking" since a kid too lol

until recently right here on Destee.Com

THE REAL INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY

thank you


i see this "test" and i realize, yes we've come a long way, baby

B. I. T. C. H. Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity

Great attention line.. Drew me in.
The word.. should be opened as a discussion.
Clean, No Twisting Finger discussion topic.

Encompassing Respectful, Open Minded Dialog.
An attempt at Solution Based Dialog.

Calling a woman the word is disrespectful.

Limited Dialog or Vocabulary is an issue in many instances.

Then woman call each other this too.

The word can hurt! The word does hurt!

I don't personally use it.

The first definition. A female dog.
The second definition reads what it would take to be really considered ONE!

Guys talk about Things. Some times Crazy things...Non-Sense things... Silly things... Cool things...Diverse and Productive Things.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*****
"a term for the female of a canine species in general, is frequently used as a term for a malicious, spiteful, domineering, intrusive, or unpleasant person, especially a woman. This second meaning has been in use since around 1400.[1]

When used to describe a male, it may also confer the meaning of "subordinate", especially to another male, as in prison. Generally, this term is used to indicate that the person is acting outside the confines of their gender roles, such as when women are assertive or aggressive, or when men are passive or servile. More recent variants of ***** are bitchy, ill-tempered (1925), and to *****, to complain (1930).[1]"

=======
In response to the THREAD..

I grew up in St. Louis MO. Home Town.
I am familiar with Washington University in St. Louis
So being from the streets. Knowing the slang.
I would like to take
The Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity Test.

Without looking at the answers. I would like to buy a vowel.
My answer to the questions are off the top of my head.
Then I will look at the answer sheet.

This is a great test of Trivia Knowledge.
Or Slang Understanding.

My Test guess.. without looking at answers.

The Test is Weak...of Washington U.
This is no I.Q test by any stretch.
Just some street talk, slang.

They made many book sales on this material. How? It boggles my mind how?
Any way I was just having fun taking it.
Dude i hate test..

The test answer link was broken.
