Something Fun to Try ...

As usual, anytime that one participates in an email mailing list, you end up with the more than occasional off-topic posting that directs one to take some kind of a stupid test.

Typically I ignore these and wait until the flurry of "oooh that's so cute" postings die down.

This one is different.

I'm anxious to see how some of the Dwellars do on this one.

My sanity index is 8.29 ...

"According to SaniTest(TM) assessment algorithms, you
appear to be a maniac. Although this can be a
debilitating condition, many maniacs live successful
and highly productive, if sometimes brief, lives. Some
other noted maniacs include computer innovator Steve
Jobs, freestyle skier Jonny Mosely, and hedonistic
publisher Hugh Hefner."

But remember, I AM a professional. Don't try this at
home.

Funny. 6.06.

INSANITY INDEX 6.66 Your SaniTest(TM) score suggests that you are quite unhinged. Although some scientists believe this condition is genetic, others theorize that it is induced through exposure to unnatural stress. But these 'scientists,' apparently, do not hear the voices. Others who scored at this level include occultist/drug fiend Aliester Crowley and US senator Jesse Helms.

INSANITY INDEX 5.17 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Your score falls solidly in the middle of the dark carnival that is human madness, and it indicates that you are indeed bonkers. That's a colloquial term for a condition that science simply cannot classify, marked by bizarre behavior, inappropriate verbal outbursts, and an unrealistic world view. Others who scored at this level include former Panamanian drug lord Manuel Noriega and pop sensation Britney Spears.

INSANITY INDEX 6.13 This score is solidly in the middle of the spectrum of madness, and it indicates that you are a classic lunatic. Lunatics are often highly functional, and even great achievers. But their personal lives are often left in ruins as they attempt to deal with their antic inner demons. Others who scored at this level include comedian/actor Robin Williams and French philosopher Voltaire.

elSicomoro · 02-23-2003, 12:46 PM

INSANITY INDEX 6.43 Your SaniTest(TM) score indicates that you are utterly haywire. Your neural circuitry seems to be badly misfiring, with frightening and/or hilarious effects. You may find yourself capable of superhuman strength as a side effect, but don't count on it. Others who scored at this level include entertainer Wayne Newton and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.

Damnit...that makes me a bit more normal than I thought.

INSANITY INDEX 4.42 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). The levels and degrees of human madness are so varied and complex that scientists have not and cannot name them all. Your score suggests that you fall on a level which can be described only by the colloquial term 'bananas.' It's on the low side of the middle, and not terribly dangerous. Others who scored at this level include author Charles Fort, British fantasist Lewis Carroll, and primatologist Birute Galdikas.

at the moment I"m the most sane of the bunch

elSicomoro · 02-23-2003, 12:49 PM

Yep, that test is rigged...

wolf · 02-23-2003, 12:59 PM

Personally, I'm a little concerned with respect to how high my own sanity index is ... but it does kind of explain why people tend to back away from me without breaking eye contact, smile a lot, and speak in low, soothing tones.

elSicomoro · 02-23-2003, 01:01 PM

I want to see slang's score on this.

Cam · 02-23-2003, 01:04 PM

That was my first thought

FrellinFroon · 02-23-2003, 04:18 PM

Gee, well, as long as I'm on the same level as Nietzsche.

Froon.

INSANITY INDEX 6.28 This is a very special score. Although the SaniTest(TM) cannot provide you with a specific diagnosis, this score just reaches the level commonly referred to as 'certifiable.' This means that your family and/or loved ones, if you have any, would be able to have you legally locked away in an asylum at a moment's notice in order to gain access to your money, your possessions, or just out of revenge for all the annoying things you do. Others who scored at this level include novelist James Joyce, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, and none other than HP Lovecraft.

What happens when we remain in dispute. There are 15 questions I refuse to answer without clarification. Some because I don't even know what they are asking. The test insists I answer them anyway. I refuse without a 'write in' option. Do I get a 0 or infinity? I refuse to answer. It refuses to give me a score.
