Scoring for the Scottish Test:
All questions are scored the same.
(A) - subtract five points from your score
(B) - no effect on your score
(C) - add five points to your score
(D) - add ten points to your score.
For the most part, this can be considered an IQ test.
-infinity to 0: you are perfectly qualified to be Scottish.
1-50: you are not quite as well qualified to be
Scottish as a four-week-dead warthog, but better
qualified than my houseplant
51-99: Although you aren't Scottish, you also are
not qualified to be Irish. Tough Luck.
100+: you must be Irish... take the other test.
