This is my first non-hand related post, sorry if it's OT.
This one has you play 50 full ring hands and claims to rate your game in a bunch of categories. Told me my overall poker iq is 97. Said my greatest weakness is I played too passively preflop, greatest strength was bluffing. I have no idea how accurate it is, although everyone always tells me I'm a passive donk. Haven't seen it discussed here, anyone else taken this test? {url removed by Warpe}
I'm curious what scores others have gotten on it and if I'm really that bad. I wouldn't normally care what an online test said, but this one seems better than donkey and the other ones I've taken.

Just did it, scored 121 (top 5% supposedly).
CAUTION: Before it gives you your score, you need to register on this site. It asks for your real name and e-mail address, asks what poker rooms you play on and suggests you use your usual poker nickname as your username. Needless to say, enter bogus info.

Yeah I did pretty good (121) , no suprises lol.
Strength: bet sizing
Weakness: knowing prior action
...
Now all we need is your credit card number.
Yeah... I didn't like the "test" too much. I'm decent with the strategic part of poker... of course if you know the exact player type of everyone at the table you're going to kick ass. Too many "test questions" were as follows:
Donkey Dan / Maniac Mike open shoves to your monster- what do you do? What DO you DO?
Anyway I don't see how "not knowing prior action" can be a weakness of mine. Um, that's the one thing I'm certain that I'm good at. I can remember the preflop / postflop action pretty well, thanks.
Bet sizing as strength? Isn't bet sizing everything? If you make the correct sized bet on every street (0-all in) you're playing perfect poker. I guess I'm a poker god. Now if only I could beat 0.01 / 0.02 NL on stars...

That was a kind of funny game. I got a 131, 4th highest all time. I guess there haven't been very many people who have taken the test,

Yikes, I post something I find interesting and you want to ban me?
Sorry, I thought you'd enjoy it. I didn't see any big deal about the registration, tickle and donkey ask for the same info. I thought it was just standard for sites like that.

It's okay, brewer. I looked up your IP and you're in Florida, but the website is elsewhere so you're off the hook, although the site might not be.
My caution is related to recent poker account hacking. It's always wise to not give any supposed poker-related site any information connected to your poker account, inluding username, e-mail address that can be linked to your poker account, etc. They're all just pieces of the puzzle needed to hack your account, and if you use your poker screen name AND happen to use the same password you've just given away the keys to the kingdom.
I'm removing the website URL anyway as a precaution.
