I made an 86% correct.
I argue with the correct answer on two, but I think the wording of the question was specifically done to trick us.

I got a 90%. I did take home ec back in the day but it was in the late 80’s, so much of this would not have been covered. I am no domestic goddess. Photo clues were my friend. lol

I got 96% but in my defense I have never made Jelly and I don't really understand the one about table service. I said 'tonic' (wild guess) and I don't understand their way of answering that one.

88%. A few of those were just weird. Like what to call the work a woman does at home.... I'd never heard it called any of the options but I had heard the explanation after I got it wrong. Just never heard actual people call it that when referring to the work. Mmmm forgot what else I missed but they were all of that context sort of thing. This is what researchers call it but that has nothing to do with what non researchers or people outside of academics called it called it type of thing.

Yeah, that was another one I missed. I choose tonic too. But the explanation only covered two of the four choices. "Compromise" wasn't an option. Missed the jelly one too. I should have known that one! I remember watching mom do it when she made jelly. As a kid I was only interested in the wobble; that meant it was cool so I could have some!

80% here but in my defense, I’ve never taken a home ec course and I’ve gone to school and/or worked full time since I was 18. Susie homemaker I am not. Luckily, I got a few right because I like to eat and know what kind of food is tasty. I guess you can only expect so much from a girl who would allow paper plates and plastic forks at thanksgiving dinner though.

Same here. My BS is in Home Economics, but those things never came up. Well, jelly might have in some of the foods classes, but I focused on clothing and textiles so took very few foods classes.

Home Ec teacher here also was raised in the 50's and taught home management by mother in the 50's. But never heard about the work a woman did in a home being called Labor Income. I missed a few others as well. Never knew about using the left side of the chair to sit and get up. Did not get a score as the internet glitched and it was not ever finished calculating.

88% some of those things I never heard of, and I guessed (correctly) getting off a chair on the left - who knew?!?

That was fun. 82 I might have gotten higher if I had taken a little more time. It kept closing on me

The only one I got wrong was the one about jelly. I was answering the question as if it related to what we call jelly in Australia, not what you call jelly in the US. So I stand by my wobble test! 😂

96%, although I got the egg question right because I’d read part of the thread before taking the test. I also got the Tonic and Labor Income questions wrong. Several I remember from a Home Ec in the early 80s and reading Mom’s housewife books she got as a new bride in the early 60s. And airing out the bedroom is something they do here in Belgium, as well as the bathroom after a shower.

I got those 2 wrong as well, and the one about what women's work in the home was called. The table service one just didn't make sense - I also answered 'tonic'. It makes me wonder if they wrote the wrong word in that space.

88%, but seeing as I'm British and wasn't born until 1983, I think that's pretty good!

94%. I missed 2. The jelly and the compromise. We made jelly every summer and I don’t recall mom ever using that term.
The rest were all routine things from my childhood.
Thanks Librarylady for posting this.

I got 86%.
I got the egg one wrong - because I really did think eggs, but didn't think they'd make it so easy as to put a photo of eggs above the question, so I picked something else.
I got the jelly one wrong as well - beause I assumed "Jello" not jam/jelly!

Same. I selected Tonic too. Weird. Btw, most of these questions have nothing to do with the 50's and are more basic knowledge of those who are into cooking. 🤷♀️

92%, I got the jelly question wrong too because I never heard that term. But it did know that it’s done when the back of a spoon is coated. And that compromise question was another trick one! The other two I missed were the ketchup cleaning question (who knew?!) and the bread and butter one. I’m going to plead ignorance on that last one because a piece of bread barely makes it to my plate buttered or not, LOL!
