65. I like that test, I always get about a 65 on it. I took it last year.

My score was 54, but i had the same problem i always have with personality-type tests. There are never enough possibilities and it's sometimes hard to find the option that is close enough to my own self-ness...

I am always interested in looking at the biases that are expressed in these quizzes, y'know?

Fun stuff.

i was going to wax philosophical on "defying labels by means of occam's razor as a tool for self-denial", but then i decided not.

it's interesting, but i think the quiz would be a hell of a lot more useful if it was attached to some good background information... =)

70. Hm. Like the test, thank you for posting . . . I do agree, though, that it needs more options. Some of the questions didn't have anything that seemed to fit . . . ::smiles:: And of course, there's the little voice in my head that goes on and on about semantics, syntax, and word choices, and I wanan smack it. ::eyes the vocal one with mischief::

Anyway, thanks again, and ooh, look, a book to add to my list of things to read. ::smiles:: Be well!

Section I: Asumptions 1 1 5
Section II: Perceptions 10 10 35
Section III: Integrity 10 10 36
Section IV: Flexibility 10 10 23
Section V: Love and Sex 10 10 22
Section VI: No Gender 10 10 27
Totals 51 51 148

I agree on the whole questions not fitting.

and like a bunch of muliple choice tests you could easily see the answers that tie to each other.

I mean for the most part. It was 4 stereotypes answering the questions

A stereotypical man
a stereotypical woman
a spiritualist
and someone that comes accross as Priscilla Queen of the Desert

On a side note.

All answer A = 255
All answer B - 155
All answer C - 51
and answer D - 0

no real surprises there.


What good is a test that you can recognize the pattern so easily.

Yes an answer is to be "honest with yourself." (I did answer it honestly)

But honestly if you wanted a specific outcome you would get it with this test.

You would rationalize a choice to get what you want.

This isn't meant to beo any offense I just hate tests that look like they have a bias but are supposed to not be,

I've yet to read the book and from what i've seen it promotes finding comfortable definition of ones self.

but lookat the answers.

All A's sound like theyare from some pompous jerk.
