Are you likely to be good at math?

An article in this month's Nature correlates our ability to discriminate quantities, as we do in picking short supermarket lines and finding good restaurants in foreign places, to more abstract mathematical ability. No wonder I'm so good at finding short lines. Take the test to determine whether you have a likely predilection for mathematical ability. If you don't do so well, here's a courtesy card.

also, i always find the shortest line, but i swear to god i get the new and/or legitimately retarded employee every time. i dont know what that means.

85%

but i think this test is flawed in that the circles are of different sizes. often times there would be fewer yellow circles, but more "yellow" because the blue circles were much smaller.

i dont know... maybe im just mad that Jessica beat me...
