That's not really the logical conclusion of my post, but I guess it's okay to miss this, since I wasn't testing you.
Tests often test your ability to remember something and spit it back. They usually aren't designed to find out how
you think about something or even the real process behind your thoughts and answers. That is why I say they are limited in what they actually test. They are a good measure of a certain kind of intelligence. Do I have to add, "in my opinion" to everything?
In my opinion, I think papers require you to use lots of different types of skills.
I can't believe that you would translate my post into "test takers are dumber than paper writers." Whatever.
