Re: Want to be an ESPN researcher? Finish this test in one hour...

Too the average person, but if you've been doing sports stats in your head since you were a kid, I don't even have to think about calculating a persons slugging %, you give me singles, doubles, triple, homers and AB, I'm already doing it in my head before you ask for it.

You probably would be a good candidate to be an ESPN researcher

Now for me....the only thing I cared about when I was a kid was Husker football.

Im in the same boat as you and in all honesty, that thing was easy to finish within an hour, I did everything up until the last question and I started at 5:27, meaning I had almost 30 minutes to finish the last question and that didnt look difficult either. Interesting to see what they require you to answer if you want to work there in this role.

I found the test they give to potential ESPN analysts, it also allows one hour for completion.

Hmmm.

I have been looking for an excuse to get out of the newspaper world, I wonder how one would go about applying for this position? Probably doesn't pay worth a damn, however.

Hard/stressful/tedious is writing an interesting 45-50 line story on a women's college basketball game by your 9:30 deadline when the game ends at 9:15.
