Good day to all of you,
In today's blog I would like to discuss the University of Mottsburgh Occupational Inventory of Grammitical Knowledge found on page 195 of Harry Noden's book, Image Grammar. When I came across this grammar knowledge inventory I was immediately intrigued by it; so, I decided to try my hand at it and take the test. I discovered that the test results projected my income to be between $90,000-$150,000 (upper management). What am I doing in teaching?! Just kidding Dr. Kist.
Overall, I found the test to be very interesting, but I wonder how accurate it would be when administered to high school students. Granted that I've been in college for several years and have taken courses that concentrate on grammar, I did fairly well; but, I don't imagine that your typical high school student would do quite as well. So, my questions are this: Can this test be considered an accurate assessment for high school students? And, to what level of education is this test designed for?
For those of you reading this and are curious to test your grammatical skills, I recommend that you take the test yourself. You can find the grammatical knowledge inventory on either pg. 195 of Image Grammar, or you can click on the link above to take the test.
Happy testing, America. And, as always, Keep it classy Kent State!
