h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Help me refine it by taking it and help me working out if I've got the percentages for each outcome about right.

http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/test-your-neurosis-according-to-the-ballads-of-tom-lehrer

I'm taking your quiz right now, and before I forget here are transcriptions of mental notes:

1. Some people are like Slinkies, absolutely useless, but they do bring a smile when you push them downstairs.

2. One of these days I have to teach Clive to say damn skippy instead of damn straight so he'll sound like he's from the 90s instead of from the 70s.

3. I'm actually in training to be a crazy old cat lady. Right now we have three cats (and no dogs).

Okay back to the quiz.



And the result is ... Poisoning Pigeons in the Park. I would have thought my strongest neurotics traits, in no particular order, were:

1) Apocalyptic Paranoia, We Will All Go Together When We Go

2) Nerdish OCD, New Math or Elements Song.

3) Absurd Nostalgia, Fight Fiercely, Harvard or Bright College Days

You must like animals too though to get the result.

I'm Poisoning Pigeons too. But... How can a result of 0% put me above 8-10% of my peers (Don't remember which 2 categories--the younger distraction is seated right there--&gt

I also appear to be a pigeon poisener...

Right I've juggled the weighting on the questions a bit, so that animal husbandry comes up less regularly, and I've also thrown in some more balancing weighting so a positive gain to one category now has a misusing effect on some other related categories, which *should* think lead to some more varied results.


Give it a go - see what you think.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I do like animals a lot, even dragons, but not unicorns, which are proto-dog food in my opinion. I like animals better than people perhaps, but that is another psychological problem. I'm just saying that the pet question only has dog answers, and there are other classifications of pets than dogs.

Is this a thread where I can be just as crazy as I want? *listens for answer from voice in thread* Oh good.

The test does now mention cats - there is also if memory serves a squirrel in there somewhere....

Q8 and Q9 are unanswerable to me, Clive!!

(And I don't like giving out passwords!)

What do you mean you can;t make a selection or you don't like any of the options?

The Q precludes people who own pets!!!


GT

Good point.



Fixed it now.

Now bed.

Now I'm "When You're Old and Gray"...
