(Of course, I’ve been doing testing for about 6 years, so I recognize most hosts within a couple words… so if you are anywhere close to my number, I get suspicious)
Hmmm….I’ve been testing for about 4 years…I guess even after all that time, and in spite of recognizing hosts very quickly…I’m still fairly slow.
Slow is good :) Being at the bottom of the list is where you want to be.
Why am I not on that list?
The list had a cutoff number…. it only showed those with 200+ tests
You’re at 116 seconds for the average….
That’s about the number below which I start getting curious if the person understands what testing really means. Of course, there are reasons the number might be lower – someone in the radio biz who already knows all of the voices of the major hosts and has a sense of the rhythm of the show clocks, or someone who only tests the most well known hosts and can quickly test a dozen Sean Hannity stations at the same time….
But if people are “working” the lesser known and/or local hosts where it can take minutes to hear the host say their name, that pushes up the averages a lot.
It’s a fine line to make sure people are actually testing, but not being so overbearing that I scare people off….
