I’m sorry. This page requires that your browser be capable of running JavaScript in
order to use the self-correcting feature of the quiz.
In most browsers you can activate JavaScript using a dialog box somewhere
under one of the menu bar options. If you are really using a (rare)
non-JavaScript-capable browser, you will have to do without the
self-grading features of this page.

Instructions:
Answer the multiple choice questions, guessing if necessary; then click on the “Process Questions” button at the end of the quiz to see your score in the adjacent message box. The program will not reveal which questions you got wrong, only how many points you have. Go back and change your answers until you get them all right. (The message box will rejoice at that point and the page will change color
to show it is tickled pink.)

Points to note:

(1) Questions with only one possible answer are one point each.
(2) Questions with one or more possible answers (represented by check boxes)
give a point for each correct answer, but also subtract a point for each wrong answer!
(3) The program will not attempt to score your efforts at all if you have not tried at least half of the questions.
(4) This quiz is for your own use only. No record of your progress is kept or reported to anyone.
