Re: Ever written an online test?

I took the noun test and scored in the 99th percentile on all three variables. That's why it's good to go first. And it said I was ska...which is cool with me, I love the Pietasters!

EDIT:And a 36/40 on the judicial test gets me a 90% accuracy, but puts me in the 99th percentile there as well!

CHALLENGE ME, BITCHES!

Re: Ever written an online test?

Kudos for the SKU reference in your first test.

You scored 45 alignment, 41 paradoxicality, and 58 sentience

Those don't really sound like good numbers, I can't honestly tell. emot-frown But I'm not honest on the test anyway, since I had to lie about my age. I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that that somehow factored in there, but I know it was just used to rate me against other takers of the same age group and gender.

I'm not taking the second one yet, I need to go do something to feel smart.

And I'm the Japanese Prime Minister in a fez.

So yeah, awesome tests satyreyes. I'm tempted to write one myself now.

I think the percentiles compare you to other people your own age and gender; it's possible that there wasn't a lot of data from other test takers like you.  But a few hundred people have taken the Noun Test, so you're hardly the first cool  On the other hand, people tend to frigging fail the Judicial Test, so you may well have gotten history's second highest score on that one -- after a friend of mine who was brought up by two lawyers and got 38/40.  And you tied Shattered, evidently; congrats to you both emot-keke

What was your noun?  With all your scores between 40 and 60, I'm thinking it was ska?  I wrote that test forever ago.  Anyway, there are no right answers to any of those questions, so your numbers aren't "good" or "bad," just "you."

In case anyone's interested, "alignment" is good vs. evil.  You gain points by answering "honesty and purity!" to moral dilemmas, and lose points by killing everyone aboard passenger trains from London to Hamburg.  "Sentience" is a cross between intelligence and common sense.  You gain points by figuring out when trains from London to Hamburg meet, and lose points by saying that rock beats paper.  "Paradoxicality" is how complicated you like to make things.  You gain points by picking bizarre answers to questions, and lose points by pointing out that there are no passenger trains that run from London to Hamburg.

I chose those three categories basically at random, because I wanted the test to feel offbeat.  I think it worked; I get a lot of positive feedback emot-smile

P.S. For the record, I score as A Frightened Raccoon on my own test.

Re: Ever written an online test?

Tamago, we do not blame you for doing badly on the judicial test. You have an excuse. As would you Asfalolh.

But my fellow Americans (heh, look at me saying that) have no excuse. They don't have to get ice cream... but they should at least score "not guilty."

And 25 on the Judicial Test is high enough for ice cream, isn't it?

Congratulations, you are Kenya!  Your personality has amazing depth and variety, all laid out for anyone who visits to see.  You cavort with giraffes and gazelles, but fear the lions and tigers that lie deep within your borders.  Realize that these inner demons are no less a part of you than the gazelles, and you may begin your journey towards taming them.

Re: Ever written an online test?

What an interesting test - the Noun. I was Inferior Pornography. emot-dance

I know, it did make me sound rather awful, but at least the word PORN is in there, and that's what I like!

Damn straight!  In a civil case, the standard is "the preponderance of evidence;" reasonable doubt is for criminal cases.  It's only a trick question if you don't know it.  emot-wink

Frosty, I'm pretty confident that you would make superior pornography, no matter what the test says.  Of course, the sad part is that Inferior Pornography is just a few sentience points away from the Flying Spaghetti Monster!  Everyone wants to be the Flying Spaghetti Monster.  He lives a five-minute drive from a beer volcano and stripper factory.
