So if you're from California (which I'm not hence this is news to me), you've undoubtedly taken a Woodcock-Johnson at some point in your life. Chances are, you took your first Woodcock-Johnson somewhere around 4th grade, and took at least one every year until you graduated high school, at which point you really started getting fucked. I'm talking, of course, about the Woodcock-Johnson Aptitude Test.
Now not being from a state that would allow such ridiculousness to occur (holla big jerze), I didn't believe my colleague who told me about the Woodcock-Johnson. "There's no way such a test exists," I said. How could two grown adults with such hilarious names (especially when placed together) come up with a test and possibly think that naming it after themselves was a good idea? Now, to their credit, these names do carry a bit of what I like to call, "Captain Planet Syndrome." Apart, like the characters in the show, these names are harmless and relatively worthless. Together, however, they create a world of hurt in which anyone would be brought to their knees (with laughter you sick fucks). I did some digging, and after being directed to 7 or so different porn sites, found out that the Woodcock-Johnson Aptitude Test is, in fact, real. No wonder test scores are so shitty here! Students spend the entire allotted time laughing and drawing inappropriate illustrations on the front of their test books, instead of feeling the full effect of the Woodcock-Johnson!
My mind was racing. How could this be? Is it possible that a person named Woodcock and a person named Johnson worked in the same field, studied the same materials, and found each other to form a team? Clearly the answer to this is a resounding yes--a yes that's so big, you really can't miss it. Which leads me to the next and yet unanswered question, did these two people honestly think that they can write a long, hard test, name it the Woodcock-Johnson and expect people not to find this slightly mind-boggling? Are these two people such freaking drips that they didn't even notice that together their names sound less like a test for 5th graders, and more like a triple X porno? Be truthful, how many of you out there purchased the Woodcock-Johnson Home Video and thought you were going to see the entire cast of "Busty Cops 3?" I'm sure you were very disappointed to have ordered a home study guide for an aptitude test; but hey, whatever gets you off, right?
I intend to find out more about this Woodcock-Johnson. I must get to the bottom of who these people are, why they decided to make a test (moreover why it was implemented without a name change), and whether or not these two goons were totally high when they submit it for approval. But for now, we'll have to make do with our limited information, and idly stand by as our nation has trouble taking the long, hard, Woodcock-Johnson.
