On the CID test, you'll run across a few questions like this: you have
absolutely no idea what the test writer is even trying to ask, yet you
have to come up with some logical answer. Priscilla's post is pretty
good preparation for that. :-)
Before I took the test, she advised me that sometimes it was necessary
to try a Vulcan mind meld with the test author to answer certain
questions. Since I'm not Vulcan this didn't work so well for me, but at
least I passed! The test is truly awful in a handful of places and it
tests your test-taking ability more than your design skills,
unfortunately.

And here I thought that Priscilla left out part of her question
(specifically the criteria as to what it is that the client has). Am
I
sincerely to believe that the multiple choice options are the criteria
of
the client? Perhaps I just need to go write the CID exam in order to
fully
appreciate the question...
If I misinterpreted, then I'm TRULY never going to get another job
writing
test questions because I'd be WAY overpaid asking for slivers of
peanuts.
I'll have to lower my expectations and just ask for that papery outer
coating...

E has to be right, not F, cause it says none of the above, yet that is
exactly what is written above it...
