I've got as far as question 4:

4. Do you live with any mammalian pets?
Yes, pets often make great company/ I'm mostly satisfied without pets
I do, but pets just aren't a subsitute for humans...
No, even mammalian non-humans are very unlike me
No, but I'm thinking about getting one

and I'm already thinking "load of BS", there is clearly a wide gulf between answers three and four so how can the result be accurate if I have to choose one or the other?

I was going to do the test....right up until Question 4, where it asked if i had any pets. The only no options are "No, but i want one", and No, even dogs don't like me".



What a stupid dumb ass questionare

Sorry, didn't see huck's post (but I may go and rec it!)

This one has me even more annoyed:

12. Do you believe that through meditation (or a similar practice) you will someday be able to feel cheerful and at home within the world and yourself?
Yes! how can one feel sad or alone with a clear and contented mind?
Not likely, because I doubt I'll have the ...[text shortened]... world and myself.'

Edit: Well I did until I started doing this dumb questionnaire. 😀

This one is rather strange, too:

27. Do you ever read as a substitute for company?
- Yes, books are much trustier than people
- Sure, but only if I feel like taking a break from other people
- I read, but I want real people in my life, not imaginary characters
- Often, but things will improve

And I never knew that sleep might be used as a substitute for company. Weird stuff.

I hate things like these but i always do them!

You appear somewhat socially discontented and not highly social, yet you're not deeply alienated to others, yourself, or your world. Your low alienation score and moderate contentment score indicate that you're probably alienated in some particular yet critical sense, as opposed to in general. So, you're probably not all that lonely and therefore probably have reason to be a little more optimistic that better things will come your way.

Something to look forward to then

Well I've been given this:

Optimistic Socialite
You scored 49 Socially Involved, 11 Alienated, 53 Contented and 50 Optimistic
You're not fully socially contented, but you're nonetheless optimistic that things will improve. And given your extraversion and the fact that you don't heavily suffer from alienation, you're probably correct.

Considering how ma ictory.

Edit: And I have recced huck's post even though he misspelt questionnaire. 😉

It insisted I give it a log in name in order to see the results, so I logged in as "fiddlesticks". Then when it asked for my email address I gave it the one I use for all junk email. It then came back and said I needed to enter a REAL email address! 😳

So I typed it in again (must've had a typo earlier)... BUT THEN it came back and said "fiddlesticks" was ...[text shortened]... sticks" with a bogus email address! 😠

Grrrrr... I won't be taking the test again!

You're not highly socially contented, but you're confident that you'll get there eventually. You don't appear very social, and this may be natural for you, perhaps a gift even. My suggestion is to be patient and not worry much about past failures or missed opportunities, as the low ...[text shortened]... tor that you have the potential to meaningfully connect with others.
