test drive

to try something out

I want to test drive this car.

I want to test drive this guy, make him see and PAY FOR a chick flick, and buy me dinner.

Let's test drive the ironing board.

IQ Test Ad

Ads that aren't new but have recently been appearing on pretty much every site on the internet. They usually read like this...

(insert celebrity name here) has an IQ or (insert fake IQ score here). Can you beat them?

The fake celeb IQ usually ranges between 110 and 130, so above average. There are some which are a bit lower or higher though.

These are mainly chances for companies to waste your time and have you give them your e-mail address so that they can spam you with shit.

I see an IQ Test Ad on every single site that I go to, every one. I wonder which company it is that puts these out? They must be loaded to buy all of this ad space.

Broccoli test

The broccoli test is a test of whether your significant other is in tune with you. If you and your SO are at opposite ends of the produce department at a grocery store, and you decide that you want broccoli, you should be able to communicate that to your SO without yelling across the store.

Henry and Loretta would pass the broccoli test easily: they always know what the other is thinking.

Bravery Test

A term coined by Bob Ross, he would use it as a way to describe when you have to paint something that could very easily ruin the painting. Typically it'd also be something he'd tell you not to trace or copy the way he does it.

Also usable as any time you need to do something with high risk/reward.

Bob Ross: See, you have to decide where the tree lives. This is going to be your Bravery Test

dice test

The "dice test" is process of querying for job postings on dice.com related to a new/emerging technology, with the theory being that if there are a significant number of job postings related to the new technology, it is a relevant/in demand technology worthy of learning and eventually integrating into new software projects. The "dice test" is used by Information Technology and Computer/Software Engineering Professionals to filter out the vast array of software packages/frameworks created that are never widely adopted, preventing the software developer from investing in a technology platform that will eventually die (due to a lack of community/support).

I ran a dice test on jQuery, and there are over 5000 jobs: that's a hot technology we need to implement on our websites.

Spaghetti Test

Instead of conducting methodical troubleshooting of a problem, you just try random stuff to see what works. Similar to throwing spaghetti on the wall to see if it is al dente yet.

Those idiots at the Spectrum help desk just keep spaghetti testing my cable modem instead of fixing it.
