So here’s the timewaster test for the day. The \*\*[Weirdness Test](http://www.furrygames.com/weirdness.html) \*\*. I’m counting on some of you Dopers scoring really high on the Weirdness scale here. [sub]Okay. I admit it. I gave it to all my friends, and nobody I know is weirder than I am. _sigh_[/sub] So, anyway…there’s gotta be somebody out there weirder than I am. 😃 [sub]And for the record, my score is: You answered “yes” to 70 of 116 questions, making you 39.7% weirdness pure (60.3% weirdness corrupt). According to the scoring guide, your weirdness experience level is: Certifiably Weird - It’s amazing you can understand humans at all! [/sub] Good luck, all. 🙂 -Stil ---

Just because I have a headless zebra on my keyring (it’s ceramic, it broke) does not make me weird. (Okay, maybe the fact that I colored the stump with a red Sharpie does.) Am I really that weird? ---

answered 37. Doesnt this seem to be more of a “dork” than a “weird” test? ---

only 31 questions answered…According to this test I’m far more normal than I would have suspected. I must admit that I am a bit suspicious about the methodology in this questionaire to “determine” weirdness. I noticed that many of the items on the “test” seemed to pertain to unusual sexual deviance or interest in/knowledge of very mainstream Scifi/Fantasy references. Are these even to be considered “weird?” I mean, think about what they DIDN’T ask! I still listen to (and enjoy) the eighties band ‘Men At Work’ AND I love to sing songs by Lyle Lovett and Barry Manillo at Kareoke bars - yet this “test” didn’t have a place to take this information into account. I love Pop Rocks and Boo Berry Cereal. I’m politically left of center AND I like NFL football. I give narrated sight seeing tours for a living! Gosh - I listen to Allan Holdsworth and Bill Frisell damnit! That must count for some amount of “weirdness”… I guess I’m just not “weird” enough in the conventional ways to be considered “weird” by this particular test maker. ---
