You didn’t pass, but no worries. That probably just means you have the soul of an artist, or a scientist!

Well, I am observant, introspective, self-disciplined, and mature too. I wish we could see the test. I know I didn't get them all right.
Yes, full stop = period. They teach us british english in school.

It said I passed, but I guessed at a couple of them. I'd like to know which I answered correctly.
If people would put as much energy into positive things as they put into their defense of slurs, imagine the good that could happen.Anyway, I thought this was ironic. He loves a word so much but can't even spell it???
(I dont know this person, but this comment was on a page that is 100% public so I only blocked his last name).
