The SaniTest: "How insane are you?"
Ah, online quiz diagnosis similar to Bill Frist's diagnostic powers...This quiz is from the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, and it's pretty funny and strange.


http://www.cthulhulives.org/SanQuiz/SaniTest2.nclk

I got this:
"INSANITY INDEX 5.02 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). It's actually somewhat impressive that you made it all the way through the test, because your score indicates that you are pixilated. Not a computer term, it implies a very short attention span and questionable judgement, subject to whimsical flights of fancy, daydreaming, and elaborate half-baked schemes which usually end in complete disaster. Others who scored at this level include actress/writer Shirley Maclaine and baseball star Sammy Sosa."

1. I don't know what happened......
Edited on Thu Aug-18-05 10:59 PM by blue sky at night
but I feel better now, thanks. Silly. I scored a 110/insanity index is 5.47, whatever that means, I mean here is what it means:

INSANITY INDEX 5.47 There are levels of human madness which no amount of science can ever elucidate. Only poets, only philosophers, many of whom are themselves mad, can offer any insight about such things. Your score indicates that you are on such a level. We can call you brainsick, but only you can make meaning of that term. We can tell you that others who scored at this level include People's Temple leader Jim Jones and existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre.

3. 6.66
:scared:

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.

8. You know what your problem is, don't you?
You aren't insane enough.

You need to work harder, and either be more sane, and get with the decent people, or be more insane, and be with the decent people.

Right now in your in the mid-zone of people who aren't insane enough to be intreresting, but are still republican enough to be dangerous fucks.

4. INSANITY INDEX 5.91
"Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Sorry to say it, but your score suggests that you are phobic. This can be a debilitating condition, but there are various effective forms of therapy. Some phobic patients compensate for their fears by becoming extremely aggressive, recklessly daring, and/or profoundly annoying. Others who scored at this level include puritan scourge Cotton Mather and folksy entertainer Andy Griffith. "

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......... I'm afraid of what this means!!!

I don't think you have to worry unless you're annoying...

5. I got a great score!
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.

"Just leave me alone with my bologna and my toy soldiers!"


:crazy:

7. Ooh, I'm in great company!! Scored a 137, which is 7.77, which is "whacko"
Your SaniTest(TM) Results

Your score is: 137

For easier understanding, the HPLHS SaniTest assessment algorithm converts your raw score to a scale of 1 to 10. This number is your INSANITY INDEX.

INSANITY INDEX 7.77 The SaniTest(TM) is a delicate instrument, capable of many fine distinctions. After analyzing your score, it suggests that you're wacko. While not generally recognized as a scientific term, 'wacko' is used by mental health professionals when a patient exhibits numerous otherwise unrelated symptoms at the high end of the moderately insane spectrum. Although your condition is probably not dangerous, you should be carefully monitored for signs of hallucinatory ideation. And go easy on the sugar. Other notable wackos at this score level include Flying Nun star Sally Field, cartoonist Don Martin, and theme park magnate Walt Disney.



I LOVED Don Martin as a kid! And also I was a total Disney fan - still admire the man a lot. Both were two of my heroes, and men I greatly admire! Woo hoo!!

14. LOL, love this thing...
funny as hell!

INSANITY INDEX 7.11 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Your score indicates that you are markedly unstable. You likely have difficulty concentrating, occasionally make very bad choices, and are susceptible to dramatic mood swings that can lead to social embarrassment and/or gunplay. Other notable people who scored at this level include hard-drinking author Ernest Hemingway and incredibly wealthy murderer John DuPont.

16. 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.

INSANITY INDEX 7.69 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). This is a high score: you're wacko. While not generally recognized as a scientific term, 'wacko' is used by mental health professionals when a patient exhibits numerous otherwise unrelated symptoms at the high end of the moderately insane spectrum. Although your condition is probably not dangerous, you should be carefully monitored for signs of hallucinatory ideation. And go easy on the sugar. Other notable wackos include pioneering inventor Nikola Tesla and author Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

28. I've been good
Work is busy, we need more people, one person(whom I didn't like) left(which is good. :evilgrin:). So now we really need more people AND we're extending our hours because now we're serving beer and wine. So it's busy, busy! But I like it. :D


How have you been? :7

32. Eh, okay.
I had to back out of going to a really good friend's wedding, so I feel bad about that...but other than that nothing too terrible, which is good!

Beer and Wine! Well! Is this going to turn into a place where you can meet some cute college dudes? Or just older pervs? :scared:
Or are you one of those professional types that would never think of such a thing at work?

33. Your score is: 124/INSANITY INDEX 6.81
Your SaniTest(TM) Results

Your score is: 124
For easier understanding, the HPLHS SaniTest assessment algorithm converts your raw score to a scale of 1 to 10. This number is your INSANITY INDEX.

INSANITY INDEX 6.81 Your score suggests that you are what's known as 'bughouse.' That's a colloquial term for madness from a time when people who thought they were crawling with bugs were often correct. In these more hygienic times, it indicates a potentially serious problem. Others who scored at this level include pop star Michael Jackson and Greek philosopher Plato.
