Here's a fun quiz that will hopefully help folks separate fact from fiction. There's a lot of dogma out there and as an educational nonprofit, the folks here at SIET are trying to do our best to spread the word on what it industry accepted practice and what is old school dogma.

Enjoy!

Thanks for all the input, everyone, the PM's were appreciated. Here's the test answers, some discussion about each answer, and the results.

2 things...

1) I don't see the answers to the quiz at the bottom of the page. All I see is a blank version of the quiz. Am I missing something?

2) When you click on "See previous responses" in the quiz itself, then scroll to the bottom after all the metrics, there is a list of EVERYONE'S EMAIL ADDRESSES that have taken the quiz. In PUBLIC view. This is a SERIOUS breach of confidentiality (not to mention a great way to hand deliver people's emails to potential spammers). You may want to take that section down ASAP.

Thanks for that heads-up, RDW. I had no idea the emails were visible to others- it looks like I missed a check box in google forms. It's fixed now. And the answers aren't at the bottom of the form, they are below each question.

Thanks again.

No problem - thanks for correcting that so quickly!

I see the answers now. Thanks!
