Take the Impossible “Literacy” Test Louisiana Gave Black Voters in the 1960s

And?

Nothing, just stating the fact that your racist and people should take what you say with a grain of salt is all

Edit wrong post.

But I can tell you and that other dude were lying cause some of these questions have no one right answer.

shyt 29 doesn't even make sense. I'd like to see dudes post video proof of them passing this in ten minutes.

they aren't IQ test questions. They are asking you to follow a clear set of instructions.

i answered the majority of those "instructions" in 5 seconds or less which gives me plenty of time for something like 29.

the first letter in alphabet? make a million by crossing out zeros? draw circles inside of each other? 2, 4, 8, 16,___? 3, 6, 9,__ , 15?



Cross out numbers between 20 and 30? Maybe that is every number starts with a 2? cross out the tenth letter? The shortest word (a)?


the square one? Draw a square with a daigonal line and then dotted throug half
Marks ? A triangle with a blacken circle on its left corner?

Ill admit questioned 1 confused me a little bit.

ok. So what'd you get for 28. Take a picture.

a vertical line bisected in half by a curved horizonal line that is straight at
Its intersecting point. I dont have access to a laptop or computer right now. But in my head it is a cross where the horizontal line is curved and straight near the midpoint.

I get most of the questions are easy, but there are a couple questions with open ended answers that you will fail on, again, you did not do this test in ten minutes

I could pass this test easily too if I had time to think about it.

But ten minutes, your first time taking it? No breh

Well i went through college working 40 hours at a really hard job, and barely had time to study. I still got 90%+ most exams. I guess i am a good test taker?

I know that i perform much better under pressure and stress than without it. so, under a stressful condition and facing a time limit, i would have done better than i would by taking it at home in comfort.

And that understandable, but

"Write every other word in the first line and print every third word in the same line, (original type smaller and line ended at comma) but capitalize the fifth word you write"

Is not a real passible question, ill explain how.

If I started with " write other in first....."

They could say every other word starts with" every"

However if I wrote "every word this line..."

They could say I was suppose to start with write and ill still fail.


Not to mention you would have to reread it multiple Times for the question to make sense. And even if you did make sense of it, it still doesnt make sense the way its written.

You get high scores on test that are passable, thats not what this is suppose to be

lol....I wonder why the "this was so easy I did it with my eyes closed in 2 minutes, aint nothin wrong with the test, blacks are just stupid" posters in this thread didnt identify this glaring logic dilemma in question 29.

And Im still trying to figure out how you draw a line *around* a letter or number.

They read the first couple questions and figured it was all easy, they just said they were able to pass in ten minutes but in reality they never even read all the questions. That why they disappeared when questioned.

Even zeon who actually responded answering a couple confusing questions but still never mentioned question 29, which is the question I asked him to answer. But they supposedly passed with flying colors.

well when i was in school Print meant "not in cursive". that's how interpeted it. Write every other word in the line and print every third word in the same line then capitalize the fifth word. Sounds fairly straight forward to
Me, but maybe i was getting tricked? I feel
That i got it wrong.

aint no maybe about it...its a mindfck question, because there are two equally valid ways to answer 29, so which ever way one goes thats going to be "the wrong answer". Definitely a way for those sadistic rednecks to humor themselves if anyone actually completed the test, and/or made it that far.

then why are the the other remaining questions so easy then? just to tease?

I think the goal was to confuse people, they were not thinking about the difficulty of all the questions, just as long as the test wasn't passable for certain people


How come they all have to be right?

Ask yourself that right after asking yourself your own question.

At some point tho every other word and third word will be the same word, now do you write that word in print or cursive?

What did you cross out for number 11?
