Points well taken. Speaking for myself, i don't feel it's insecurity, it's about "why". Has a concrete explanation been given to "why" this needs to be implemented (other than what's on ARDMS website which I feel is not a completely valid and functional reason. Is it really going to "advance" our profession? Also, "time". As has been stated on this thread, what does a 50 question, open book, in my own home test REALLY prove? It's a hurdle that we have to do "why".. I don't really care if it's free and only 50 questions.. It takes up an hour of my time I could be spending with my kids... Etc. So, give me something that REALLY makes a professionL difference an I'll entertain it.. As I said before, my kids are real interested In what daddy does.. I'll probably let them tAke the tests since they're open book.. Then we can at least have family time =]
