Rant: ASQ Exam Questions and Ignoramuses.
It’s easy to spot someone who has not studied for the CQE exam, even those that pass it. They always complain about the wording of the questions. The correct answer, they say, was not an option. Or, there were multiple correct answers depending on the situation. The slackers are projecting their ignorance into the exam.
ASQ exam questions are created by some of the brightest minds in the quality field. The questions have been thoroughly vetted.
If a question doesn’t make sense to you, you are ignorant in that area of the body of knowledge (BOK). When you complain about the questions, you prove your ignorance to those who have put in the time required to diligently study the BOK.
This is a good thing for hiring managers. In my experience, the more ignorant a CQE is, the louder and more often he complains about the exam questions. Just ask your potential hire what he thought about the exam and you’ll have a good a good gage of the candidate’s ignorance.
Note, lest you think me unfair: Ignorance does not equil stupidity. Ignorance means an absence of knowledge regarding a specific subject. I, for instance, am ignorant of the mating habits of gilla monsters.
