OK, I tried it. Miguel's right. It is pretty neat. Although I have a 
few quibbles, I'd say the information seems generally accurate 
(although I'd be interested to hear what the perception experts on 
our list think of it). It would have been nice, though, if they'd let 
us go back to immediately re-try a question after seeing the answer 
given. I guess they didn't do this because they wanted to report an 
overall score.

Nevertheless, I went back and re-tried question 8 on the Stroop. 
Either I'm _very_ bad on the Stroop or the question is giving the 
wrong score. Could the developers of the test be fooled by their own 
Stroop? Or is it me?
