Think you know everything about Facebook? Twitter? Or even the ins and outs of your iPad? Now you can prove it with Smarterer
Smarterer was co-founded in 2010 and has recently won the 2013 startup competition at the Recruiting Innovation Summit.
I first took to Smarterer last year after seeing a fellow developer on Twitter announcing their score for a HTML test, and now I’m hooked! I was quite shocked at first to realise that I knew more about Facebook and Twitter than HTML and CSS! A little embarassing perhaps too! However, upon broadcasting my Twitter score, the Smarterer team responded that I’d actually beaten their own Social Media guy! Self-esteem restored!
Each test and the questions within are created and maintained by Smarterer’s users, ensuring that the tests remain relevant and correct in our ever-changing industry. Each question is against the clock and the points earned for a correct answer (or deducted for an incorrect one) are assigned via a clever algorithm which makes point-scoring interesting, educated and varied.
With tests on topics from Operating Systems, Software, Hardware, Social Media to Programming languages, Smarterer, I think, is a fantastic tool to keep you at the top of your game. Whether you’re a Web Designer or “Social Media Guru”, a little competition in the office never hurt anyone!
Give Smarterer a go, it’s absolutely free and you can sign in with your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. And why not try to beat my scores too and let me know how you fair!
