Please answer honestly. This comes from a discussion with another GM. No one will know who answers the question which way, i'm locking the detailed results as 'hidden'.

I don't know what "argumentative" means.

I was being facetious (I don't know what that means either, really). I clicked on "no to argumentative" instead of "Yes to both" by accident.

I took it. Doesn't mean I passed. Any jackass can take it.

That was the implication. Mostly a jackass for taking it in the first place. By the time I get the results, I might be in another industry.

Well, I passed CT. And the J.D. might actually earn me a bump in title/salary at the consulting gigs I'm looking at, so I won't be paying back loans for the next 20 years for nothing (hopefully).

Now that's a silly question, if I've ever heard one.

Z - Irreverent is a word I have had to use too may times - unfortunately when addressing my childrens' behavior; when dealing with employees' (mis)behavior while I was representing management; in school when substitute teaching for an unpopular teacher, etc. It is also a word that has (unfortunately) been used to describe my own behavior once or twice - at least once in print.

Who do you think doens't know the meaning of the word irreverent? or argumentative?
See, this whole thing started when Z said he wasn't impressed by my use of those two 'big words'. I don't consider them big words, he didn't think half the members in the league would know what they both meant.
