Rank Test

Karen had a link on her blog to Alexander Dinerchtein's test to determine your rank. So of course I went to check it out. Maybe I shouldn't ruin the ending, but my favourite part is the disclaimer when they give you your rank:

Please don't be disappointed if this mark is lower than your real grade.
We were mainly trying to test your understanding of the game.

Your actual rank depends on your reading skill, your ability to make decisions under time pressure, your state of health and many other factors.

The whole time I was taking it, I was thinking "Huh. This is kinda hard. He's going to say I'm 10k. Oh, well." and "I should be working, not doing Go problems right now". In the end, he said I was European 3-dan, but I think my "ability to make decisions under time pressure" (or lack thereof) tends to bring my rank down 3 or 4 stones.
