Answered “moderate programmer, incorrect”. I got the correct final answer but had 2 boxes incorrect. Haven’t checked where I went wrong, although I was very surprised I had as back in grade school I got these things correct with near perfection. I learned programming very easily and have traditionally rapidly outpaced my peers, but I’m only just starting professionally and don’t feel like an “experienced” programmer. As for the test, I suspect it will show some distinction but with very many false positives and negatives. There are too many uncovered aspects of what seems to make up a natural programmer. Also, it is tedious as hell, and I suspect that boredom will lead to recklessness will lead to false negatives, which aren’t terrible but are still not good. May also lead to some selection effect.
