When I was young, we commonly saw questions on "intelligence" tests that gave six or seven numbers or letters of a sequence, and you were asked to supply three or four entries to continue the sequence. When I first encountered these, in *high school,I thought to myself, "This is an unfair question!" Why? Because any finite string of numbers or letters can be the starting point of an infinite number of different sequences, all with a different recursion formula. Who is to say which of these formula is the "right" answer, or the "most intelligent" answer or even the "best" answer? I thought to myself, "Are these test writers idiots, that they don't realize that obvious fact? Maybe they should have their intelligence measured—properly." Later, when I went to the university, I realized that folks who major in "Education" are (with some exceptions) those who wouldn't be able to survive the rigors of a real academic discipline. And many lack creativity and imagination.

Only now, in the beginning of the 21^st century, have dim-witted "experts" in educational testing begun to realize that these are frauds, for this very reason. I remember one satire of educational tests which asked for the completion of the series O T T F F S S _ _ _. Is a person who "sees" the answer the test-maker had in mind really more intelligent than one who doesn't? Is the response D T B acceptable? (It should be: "Otters Tend To Frolic Freely, Sliding Smoothly Down The Bank.") Sounds as good to me as the desired answer, "E N T" for "One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten". I could make a case for the answer, "C S E", as in "Oh, That The Fierce Fires Should Swiftly Consume Such Exams."
