38.2% of people got 4/5 or 5/5 questions right. That is amazing. I never would have guessed anywhere even close to that. I would have figured it would be around 15% or so given that guessing randomly would put it at 12.5%. I guess I get a skewed perspective from looking at applicants since presumably most of those 38% are happy with their current jobs.

I took the test twice so I'm guilty of skewing the stats. My reasoning - first time I got 4/5 and it told me 'you know a little bit about SQL performance tuning.' I was curious about what the 5/5 message would be. It's interesting on many levels that the message was the same.
