What do you do instead in the case of a large number of applicants for a job without reliable evidence for past performance?

 

 

 

They are really educated... at Nursing. That may not translate over to verbal reasoning and math problems.

 

 

Note:

 

Should mention that Wonderlic does not put their current test(s) out there, as their clients are the employers. Any versions online may not be recent or accurate.

 

What do you mean by verbal reasoning. I thought most nurses have really high IQ.

That is strange why did nurses score so low? :eek:

 

I don't understand why nurses score very slow. You would think most of them would be really educated and smart than most people.

 

Or not working for an organization stupid enough to rely on such tests.

 

Nonsense.

 

 

Not necessarily. You could teach yourself, for example.

 

 

Not necessarily. I know people who have not gone to university but who would do far better in tests of some of those subjects than people who have.

 

So it just way of only getting smart people for the job? And people that lack basic education do not get job.

 

If you do bad in math, sciance ,history and English you do not get the job?

Among other things, it's a test of whether you think that people who speak English are, in fact, American. (Because there's no way of deducing , from first principles how many cents there are in a nickel. There are other bits of American vernacular too)

It will, therefore be biassed against people who grew up elsewhere.

 

Using it in the UK would probably get you into trouble under the equality act.

 

As far as I can tell, the purpose of the test is to make money for the people who administer it.

 

So test be on math, sciance ,history and English. But would some one with only elementary school vs high school vs college effect the test different?

 

Rapid problem solving can only be done if such a person had a education. You can't do high school math if you never gone to high school.

 

Now if test is on what you know vs how smart you are there is a difference? If two people that have same eduaction but one does better at rapid problem solving than the other that is very different of what person got eduaction when they where young or not.

 

May be just way to see if you gone to college or not. Some one gone to college will do better on math, sciance ,history and English than some never gone to high school.

So it more how well you problem solving skills are on job? Than IQ test?

 

How you can fit into the job and do work well?

 

Why are Nurse and Electrician 23? And Chemist 31, Electrical engineer 30, Engineer 29, A Secretary 24, A Investment analyst 27,

Should all politicians and presadintal runners (before you ask, no, this isn't aimed at Trump) take some form of a psychology* test, to even be considered for taking a job in the government. We have doctors who work in advance fields of health and science, and some of them have to take a test, right? Why not the people who run the country?

 

From what I understand the republican party and conservative Americans people are experiencing culture shock of liberal sociaty in the US!!! So this pushes them more to right every year. So every election conservative agenda becomes more cult than political ideology.

 

This is why every election conservative become more silly like and more extreame views.

 

This why the conservative party will never and I say never now just run for election and say vote for me you get a small government and lower tax money!! The republican party must dumbed down election every time and pass silly laws that would never got pass in the 90's.

 

Like LGBT must use own bathroom, allowing businesses to NOT surve LGBT, 3-stike laws yes even on misdemeanor offense, more street camaras, more prisons,allowing out of control police, border problem and more war happy so on.

 

This why Trump is more silly like and strange than Bush.

 

Bush was a hard conservative but he would never say or do stupid things. Next election there be other person like Trump with even more extreame views and silly like.

Should all politicians and presadintal runners (before you ask, no, this isn't aimed at Trump) take some form of a psychology* test, to even be considered for taking a job in the government. We have doctors who work in advance fields of health and science, and some of them have to take a test, right? Why not the people who run the country?

 

Now to the point why US election come across like nothing more than silly, angry and drunk politicians yelling at bar!!

 

Look at election in the UK and Canada than the US it is very different.

 

The US is dumbing down election so much it to point of silly.

I used to really like to watch ted talks and the youtube channel dnews. i also am a big fan of hermiony from the harry potter series. I like the actress who played her and now there are more social justice or feminist videos on ted talks, laci green who hosted dnews is a feminist and same with the actress who plays hermiony in harry potter. I think there is a good kind of feminist that is for equality but the represented in the media feminist is trying to give women more rights then men and they usually use all their arguments just to complain about something. these feminists are going along with the more radical feminists in the media. I just cant believe how so many people in the media are going along with feminism to protect their image. they might not even agree with it they just want financial supporters and if they have a good image they will get more supporters. will feminism in the main stream die out soon? how can the media have so many people saying something so illogical like the pay gap? its been disproven many times yet reputable people still say its true. I think women have all the political rights they fought for. feminism is no longer needed.

 

Sorry what things are you see in sociaty that is really feminist today? Females playing video games, females in army, females that are cops?

What does it say? If you the right person for the job? How does test score say if you the right person for the job?

 

Some jobs have the Wonderlic test and other jobs do not?

 

The so called Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test they call it.

Michael Moore almost died.

 

Got pneumonia was in ICU.

 

Michael Moore could have died last week: “Trying to get back to just breathing is enough of a burden”

 

http://www.salon.com/2016/02/10/michael_moore_could_have_died_last_week_trying_to_get_back_to_just_breathing_is_enough_of_a_burden/

 

How could some one this young get pneumonia? People that get pneumonia are old people and people with weaken immune system. And people in hospital or nursing home are more likely to get it

 

The public normaily do not get pneumonia same with young people.

 

How could this be? Could be that being overweight and a sedentary lifestyle have some thing to do with it? Or that he has other health problems?

 

In order to see the colours that we see in those parts in visible light, there needs to be that same spectrum reflecting off the body parts by the scanners, which there isn't. I might be wrong, but if you render with a different spectrum, the 'colours' will be different or have to be rendered post-capture.

 

Yea from my understanding even if the machine can see in color the human body does have color like what you see in illustrations text books.

 

A x-ray tech would put in false color for illustrations.

 

These are false colors added to x-ray by tech after the scan

They do to make illustrations better for people learning about the human body and the public to understand.

 

They take x-ray black and white than the x-ray tech ads in the color.

 

Where the article say the machine puts in the color not that the machine see the human body in color, it just puts in false color automatically? Making it eaer for the public and doctors to read scan with out specialist. Speding things up and keeping the cost down.

And just, if not more, dangerous to our health, yet one is illegal and the other is freely advertised/promoted ubiquitously throughout the world.

 

Is the mighty dollar really so powerful as to seduce the world with such a drug and are we all equally culpable; given our collective need to accumulate imagined wealth?

 

Sex, gambling and junk food can be addicting to some people leading to bankruptcy, no job, HIV, obesity and crime. But hard drugs like cocaine and crack can lead to crime to supports one habit but they make you body sick aka withdraws. Where addiction of Sex, gambling and junk food person head their is no withdraws.

 

A herion addict withdraws is worse than cold or flu.

 

Smoking (nicotine ) is almost is addcting has herion!!!! But does not have the horrible withdraws.

 

Smoking pot can be really addictiing to some people but does not have bad withdraws like the hard drugs.

The theory why bad stuff taste good like junk food is evolution, sugar and salt like greasy foods was almost in possible to get in nature. People evolved of the land base on plant food!! Like apes eating fruit and vegetables. Meat was hard to come by and sugar and salt was very hard to come by.

 

Base on human survival of evolution the human body needed very littile sugar and salt. These foods taste good becuse they hard to find in nature.

 

Now with modern world we have more sugar and salt than is needed for centuries.

There is no drug out there that targets obesity.

 

I hear in the next 5 to 10 years there may be some drugs that look good and could enter clinical trials.

It's still false colour. They will probably use colours that reflect how we see the sample sections when they are exposed to natural light.

 

 

So not having tech add the artificial colors the machine ads the artificial colors after the scan? Faster and speeds things up doing it this way?

The clonal evolution model of cancer is attractive and mainstream. I have also heard of an alternative hypothesis where somatic cells accumulate genetic lesions relatively early on in the human lifespan, for example via viral illness in childhood, only to be expressed as dysplasia when gate keeper mechanisms like immunity become suppressed later on in life due to the process of aging.

 

Well some people say it could be the food we eat or that we live longer now and so people are getting cancer. Say in the past people would only live to their mid 30's and now people live to they are in their 70's and 80's and are getting cancer.

 

But it does not explain why some people in their 30's and 40's ge cancer.

A lot of research, reading and cross-referencing led me to some interesting articles about upcoming relevant medicine advancements, and nano-technology ranked at the top of the lists. Here are additional medicine technologies that are mentioned in the article: http://listverse.com/2013/03/22/10-medical-technologies-that-could-shape-the-future/. These research and developments amaze me. The pace with which medicine invention is increasing is getting faster and faster. Even more, if we check out the criteria for doctor jobs we find research to be more and more sought after. I assume they are doing this research and testing on animals/rodents first. How would that work with nanobots?

 

 

Unfortunately these are nanoparticles not nanobots or nanites in sense they are robot or machine shown in movies and TV shows.

 

These are crude nanoparticles where they learning how to drive the nanoparticles to site to release the payload. Use of magnets, UV light or laser to drive the nanoparticles to site to release the payload.

 

Step one make nanoparticles that the body does not attack

Step two how to drive the nanoparticles to the site.

Step three how to release the payload.

 

This is what they are doing research and development. When all three steps are solved what the best way than they can start moving to clinical trial.

 

But we will never make nano robot or nano machine shown in movies and TV shows to we learn how to make robot or AI on big scale. How can you make say a nano robot or nano machine shown in movies and TV s when we have really crude robots and AI that has intelligent has a rodent!! Not even a Dog or Cat!!! But a rodent.

The technology for colored imaging is not only on the horizon, but it is also on the campus of a research facility, where researchers are giving the phrase “in living color” a new meaning.

 

 

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/12/151216162426.htm

 

 

Are these artificial colors the machine ads to image in real time scanning and viewing? Or is machine able to see real color.

 

Like colored radiographic images, such as X-rays, mammograms and CT scans.

 

I know when you look at say a kids books or high school books on the human body the artificial color is added to gray image after the scan to help visualize the image to the viewer.

It was not like this before!!! But now they say 1 in 4 people in US will get cancer and in the UK 1 in 3 will get cancer. They say if it continues in the UK in the future 1 in 2 people will get cancer.

 

Why is cancer on the rise? What is causing this? Why was it not like this before say 50 years ago, 100 years ago or even 200 years ago?

 

 

i am MS student...

I wana do my final year thesis in optcal computers.. I just wana know is it a hot research area

can I proceed with this topic.. I need some starti up help material to know what are major areas in optical computer to do work ..

please help me...

regardz

 

I'm sorry but it will be long time before optical computers replace circuit boards probably 20 to 40 years out or more.

 

 

Well lasers are getting better every year there is long way to go before a working prototype optical computer is built in lab.

ok ... if this topic is out of fashioned then let me know what is going on new in software engineering field and operating system??

and please mention little bit easy work..

 

optical computers and quantum computers is one of those things that border on fringe science. There is long way to go before optical computers and quantum computers start to hit computer store and go mainstream.

 

sorry it not going to happen before 2050.

The TV show Law and Order: SVU deals with murder, rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse so on. But I hear there is lots children in TV show.

Even though at the time of TV show Law and Order: SVU pedophile was less common in the US. Now pedophile is more common in US of sexual assault on children so on.

So is the TV show Law and Order: SVU morally acceptable todays? I was going to get the TV show Law and Order: SVU. But if there is lots of children getting sexual assaulted and abuse even though it is fake and acting in todays would feels more morally not acceptable.

 

May be Law and Order vs Law and Order: SVU may be better option.

 

I hear there is murder, assault and kinaping on Law and Order but lack the children and sexual thing like Law and Order: SVU.

 

At the time of TV show Law and Order: SVU pedophile was less common in the US now it is on rise.

 

 

Biofuels cheaper than kerosene are presently wishful thinking, alas. When taxed as little as food, biofuels can compete with gasoline taxed at 400%, but kerosene isn't taxed or very little. If no-one has found a solution for cars, the sub-tiny prospective market of supersonic airliners has zero chance to do it better.

 

 

 

There is not alot of R&D going into Boifuels and kerosene so it more costly now. When more R&D goes into Boifuels and kerosene it will be cheaper than Jet fuel.

 

We have enough gas and oil to last 50 years from now and enough coal to last 100 years from now. So we need R&D into new fuel sources.

 

If we don't find cheaper fuel in 50 years from now even sub-sonic flights will be too costly for the middle class Americans!!!

 

We probably have enough Jet fuel to last 50 to 100 years.

I would appreciate if anyone could elaborate on that and also what kind of technological breakthroughs are needed to make supersonic affordable? The Concorde was too costly for the average person.

Do they need better jet engine, fuel efficient engine, other fuel source that is cheaper than jet fuel like biofuels like burning grass, corn, tree branches, dead tree leaves, hay so on.

Or is the cost of jet fuel not the main reason supersonic travel is more costly than non supersonic travel?

Better jet engines or fuel efficient engine lower the cost?

I hear they are doing some research into biofuels and better jet engines.

 

 

 

People that travel don't want to spend over $1,000!! So there would need to be technological breakthroughs are needed to lower the cost of supersonic travel to price $300 to $500 , a better jet engine, fuel efficient engine, other fuel source or new materials or they way the plane is build.

In fact, pretty much impossible. Although some advances have made the fabrication of movable parts possible. For nanoparticles much more info is available. However, most is based on in vitron analyses and it is not clear if the performance is the same in vivo. Plus there are some unknowns with regards to toxicity of these materials. So while the research is accelerating, there are still things to figure out. At least as additives the use could be already quite advanced (considering that nanomaterials have been in household products for quite a while for non-medical use) but the high-end stuff (highly specific drug delivery) is still a bit out

 

 

I think this was the artical I read not sure.

 

Nanodrug Swarms Use The Human Body's Biocommunications System to Coordinate Their Attack

http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2011-06/nanoparticle-teams-communicate-inside-body-target-tumors

 

If you envision small automatons in the nm scale, they do not exist. Complex nanoparticles, however, are sometimes referred to as nanobots. Mostly because it sounds more advanced.

 

I think it was a nanoparticles.

 

Yea they called nanoparticles they look more like particles with drugs inclosed.

 

Unfortunately nanobots that look like http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/427/2044/1600/Nanobots.0.jpg

 

Like robot or machine is harder to do.

With the technology we have today supersonic travel is way way way way too costly for the public. Could a supersonic plane running on biofuel, hydrogen, electric or say solar replace jet fuels to lower the cost of supersonic travel? Making supersonic travel possible?

I know they are doing research and experiments now on electric planes and solar planes now but it still not ready for a replacement of jet fuel.

May be in 10 years from now they will start phasing out jet fuel for biofuel, hydrogen, electric or solar? And we will have supersonic planes.

For nanobots there is no real concept (unless very simple structures that have been termed nanobots, but they are often not what the popular lit. describes as such.

 

I don't know much about nanotechnology other than some articles in popular mechanics magazine some time ago I read of nanotechnology used for many things like.

 

-small nanobots to clean up oil spills and chemical waste

-nanobots to bring chemotherapy drugs to the cancer target or performed surgery operation on clog arteries or heart surgery and other applications like fighting infectious disease so on.

-batteries using nanomaterials can hold lots more power and recharged significantly faster than conventional batteries

 

I know they have built small nanobots in the lab!! The problems not sure what it holding it back may be building hundreds or thousands of nanobots that is needed to clean up oil spills , chemical waste or use in medine is reason for the slow down.

 

In the articles they did say problems like getting the nanobots to go to the area of the body you want it to go!! Talk about may be using magnets to drive it!! Other articles they did say problems like immune response or harm to the body need to be tested and worked out and nanobots to go to the area of the body you want it to go and do want you want it to do.

 

I assume they are doing this research and development and testing on mice and other rodents before moving to people.

 

 

I'm not sure how much progress they made in past 10 years or so.
