These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-03-25,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Cellar Rats and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 8, Round 4 - Science - Intelligence and Personality Testing.
*Note*: Abbreviations are acceptable in some cases. If you want
to try answering with an abbreviation, go ahead, and after the
round you can find out whether you need to go back and expand it.
1. In a test developed by a Swiss psychiatrist, a subject's
perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using
psychological interpretation and/or complex algorithms intended
to detect underlying thought disorders. Name the test.
2. In the 1940s a self-report questionnaire was designed to
categorize people on four basic criteria, which are combined
to form a type. The test is based in part on Jung's theories
on how humans experience the world. Name the categorization.
3. This test developed by French psychologists was updated at an
American university. it was intended to identify mental
retardation in schoolchildren, so that they could be properly
educated in the school system instead of consigned to asylums
for life. Give *either* the original name of the test or the
American name.
4. This test generates a full-scale IQ representing a child's
general intellectual ability. It provides separate Verbal
Comprehension, Visual-Spatial, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory,
and Processing Speed index scores. Name it.
5. This psychological effect details a cognitive bias in which
people of low ability mistakenly assess their cognitive ability
as greater than it is. Conversely, people of high ability
often underestimate their abilities and the abilities of other
high performers. The effect is named for the two researchers
who discovered it: who?
6. Average scores on standardized tests have been increasing for
the last 100 years, especially from 1955 to 1965. Almost
globally, the increase is mostly seen in the lowest quartile
of test-takers. Some argue that better nutrition worldwide has
had an effect, but the reason in not fully known. The effect
is named after the researcher who uncovered it: who?
7. Daniel Goleman popularized the concept of an aspect of
intelligence not captured in standardized tests. It consists
of self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and
social skills. What's it called?
8. A 10-minute quiz designed by an immigrant to Canada, used to
assess cognitive impairment. It is very useful as an inexpensive
and accurate screening tool. Donald Trump was proud to have
passed this test on his physical last year, thus showing that
he was not demented. Name the test.
9. Current cognitive researches use two concepts to categorize
intelligence. One refers to the ability to reason and solve
problems in unique and novel situations, the other to the ability
to use knowledge acquired through past learning or experience.
Name *either*.
10. Recently apps and software have been trending that claim to
improve or preserve working memory, and processing speed,
and general cognitive health. Usually they involve games or
audio sounds. Some researchers do not agree that these apps
are of any use. By what name, as a group, do these apps and
software go by?

* Game 8, Round 6 - Sports - World Cup Soccer
1. Geoff Hurst is the only player to have done *what* in World
Cup soccer? Be sufficiently specific.
2. Pelé brought Brazil to victory in World Cup soccer three times.
Name *any one* of the years *and any one* of the host countries
for these three competitions.
3. FIFA is the organization which runs the World Cup Soccer
Competition. What *city* is it based in?
4. The World Cup was inaugurated in 1930, and the host country
won it that year. Which country was that?
5. Which country hosted the 1994 World Cup?
6. The 2026 World Cup competition will be hosted by three countries.
Name *all three*.
7. The number of qualifying countries in the World Cup tournament
was 16 until 1982. But in 1938, only 15 actually played. Why?
8. Name *either* of the two stadiums that each have hosted the
World Cup final match *more than once*.
9. The four countries comprising the United Kingdom -- England,
Wales, Scotland,and Northern Ireland -- have all competed
individually in international soccer. But only once have all
four qualified for the World Cup tournament in the same year.
When was that?
10. In a major controversy, the player Zinedine Zidane head-butted
Marco Materazzi in a World Cup final match. Name *both* teams
competing, *and* the year.

Scored a *hat-trick in the final game*. (For England in 1966.)
4 for Calvin, Erland, and Pete.
Erland didn't mention the hat trick, but correctly described how
one of the three goals was controversial. Now controversial goals
are not exactly unknown in soccer, and I don't think the specific
details are sufficiently notable to treat this as the "only player
to have done it". However, I think if this answer went to a protest
in our league it would probably be accepted, so I'm accepting it here.

But in fact two *different* German stadiums of that name have held
the event -- in Munich in 1974, and in 2006 in Berlin.

There are indeed many goals in the history of football that have caused a

lot of discussion after the game. It surely happens about every week
somwewhere. But in most cases, the discussion dies within a few days. Very
few goals keep on living in this sense. The only other I can think of on
the top of my head is "the hand of God", scored by Maradona in 1986 -
against England.
