Well, according to smarterer that is. :)
Smarterer is beta site—that I got to test out thanks to BzzAgent—with crowd-sourced questions where you can take tests to let the world know just how much you know. Tests are available in a wide range of fields such as: Facebook (796, here, thank you), Twitter, Google Search, Excel, Photoshop, PHP, Gmail, Outlook… and the list really does go on and on.
Each question is timed, with points decreasing the longer it takes you to answer. But once you finish a question you can stop; you’re not timed on the test overall. (Which is a good thing because some of these tests go on and on and on – especially with people adding new questions all the time!) Answer right and your score increases, answer wrong and points are deducted (logical, eh?). Answer correctly once more and you’ll increase your score again. So don’t feel bad if you really don’t know the last four digits of Mark Zuckerberg’s social security number. You’ll have chances to redeem yourself. ;)
Smarterer also offers up ways for you to show off that master status. Share those scores on Facebook, Twitter, in email or on your resume. Signing up provides a personal profile page with all your tests and skill levels front and center. http://smarterer.com/momneedscoffee
So go ahead, pull up your chair and hit up the Facebook test. See if you can beat my score!
So is this just a game? I wonder if companies use it for testing job candidates?
And speaking of Facebook and job candidates, I heard on the news yesterday that some companies are now requiring that people hand over their FB passwords or friend someone in HR so that their pages can be examined. Whaaa????

Uhm, not really a game, but not exactly an authoritative test. They say you can use it on your resume. Not sure I would go that far…
Yep saw that. Never would happen (for me). Insane.
