The About Us section is basically a history
of KLSAT and what has happened to it over time. It will be updated as
things happen, but the final section will always be KLSAT Today. The
contents of that section may change because it is only a summary of the
status of KLSAT now.
The History
After taking the
OLSAT (Otis-Lennon School Ability Test), our founders, Ben L. and Greg
K. came up with the idea for KLSAT. Here is a short history on KLSAT.
From Humble Beginnings
After
the teacher collected Ben and Greg's tests, they began to make fun of
the test's questions. These included stupid analogies such as purple is
to brown as yellow is to cucumber. This led into an idea for a test
created by them to test one's sanity level. Later that day, Greg called
Ben on the phone to propose a name. It was accepted and KLSAT was born.
The Creation of KLSAT
A
few days later, Gabriel got involved and submitted several questions
which made him KLSAT's consultant. At Greg's house, later in the day,
Ben and he typed up a rough draft of KLSAT. They revised it, added a
title page, and created the instructions.
The Test is Tested
After
the KLSAT was completed, the staff realized it needed a tester. It had
to be one that would give an average result. Thus, they turned to Sue.
She took the test, got an average score, and proved that the test was
good. Still, it was only one test. KLSAT needed more.
Taking it on a Larger Scale
To
test it more, KLSAT Inc. brought it to the ultimate testing grounds,
school. They gave it to their teachers, Ben S., and Matt A. The day
after, Ben and Matt turned it in and proved, once and for all, that it
was a worthy insanity test. Now, it was ready.
Brought to the Public
The
day KLSAT received the test results, they received more orders for
tests. This was KLSAT's main goal. Yet, it was happening too slowly.
Suddenly, out of the blue, Gabriel had an idea. He wanted to create a
flyer for KLSAT. The rest of the staff agreed, Gabriel was made
publicist, and KLSAT Inc. was ready for the flood of orders.
The World Wide Web
After
this, on the same day, the KLSAT staff decided to have a website for
further publicity. Greg searched and located Googlepages. He created
the site and added features that were useful to KLSAT.
Publicity Blasts Off
The
next day, Gabriel brought in the flyers and posted them in the
Literature room. During the course of the day, the staff got three
orders. Two were for Michael G. and Andrew F. They both saw the flyer
and it interested them. Our third order was proof that Matt was a
greater asset than KLSAT could have predicted. He told Jake R., and he
asked for a copy. Therefore, Matt was made a publicist and Gabriel was
promoted to chief publicist.
Spreading Like Wildfire
A
week later, orders came in in floods. Ever since the flyers were posted
in the Literature room, people had checked them periodically. Suddenly,
springing up as quick as a flame, people began to place orders. None of
the staff knows why this outbreak occurred. The most likely explanation
is that people overheard orders in class and wanted one for themselves.
KLSAT's Apparent Death
Later,
people began to lose interest in KLSAT. The staff attempted to keep it
alive, but the only way the staff could was to go online and support
the online form.
The New Approach to KLSAT
Finally, after
a long time of waiting, KLSAT's staff has begun work on KLSAT Form B.
However, they have learned from their mistakes. They will only give the
test to the most staunch supporters at school. The majority of KLSAT's
activities will exist online.
KLSAT Today
Now,
KLSAT runs on an online basis. KLSAT's staff advertises it around the
internet and it is gaining popularity very slowly. We've received
dozens of tests and counting, and with the change to online business,
we save trees and time, so that we can get your test to you sooner.
The Future of KLSAT
The
staff at KLSAT edu is currently working on a KLSAT Form B. The
expected release date for this test is November 1st, so get ready! Our
innovative team has also created a portable KLSAT study guide for the TI-84 Plus calculator, so you can have insanity on the go!
Despite
all this, however good it may become and however much the staff changes
it, the purpose will be the same. The purpose is to follow this saying:
No insane child left behind.
As
long as KLSAT does this, it will remain pure. The staff will always
work their hardest to spread KLSAT and retain the purpose.
