The Woodcock Johnson III Achievement Test

A man with the last name Woodcock got together with a man with the last name Johnson on an unfortunate day to create an achievement test which is presently used often for testing students and some other populations.

While we discussed the Woodcock Johnson III achievement test in class tonight, no one even cracked a smirk! I think I was the only one with a dirty mind! Why didn't anyone laugh or giggle? It's funny isn't it?

Perhaps it's just me, but the Woodcock Johnson achievement Test seems like a bad name for any standardized test much less an ACHIEVEMENT test! Can you imagine the discussions following the test?: "So, Jim, how much did you score on your Woodcock Johnson?" It sounds like it belongs in a men's locker room not in a testing facility!!

Alas, it must just be me.
