OK OK I retook the test and this time, I was as bad as I could be. I even said I sniffed markers, which any good PTA mom can't help but have done. And I managed to get my score down to 58%. Obviously I still need some work. But I am now extremely curious about some of your pasts.

Not to take it too seriously, but, you know, one thing about the test is that, while it touches briefly on violence and anti-social behavior, it's really about sex and drugs. I happen to think violence is worse than such things as watching a porno movie or having sex in a car. So, while it asks if you ever engaged in a fist-fight, for example, it doesn't distinguish between grade school stuff and adult stuff. Here are some questions that are relevant, IMO, at least for adults, that it missed: - Have you ever stolen anything from your place of employment? - Have you ever padded your expense account? - Have you ever stolen the neighbor's newspaper because yours was not delivered? - Have you ever intentionally caused someone else serious bodily injury? - Have you ever committed vandalism? - Have you ever displayed a work of modern sculpture in front of your place of business or in a public square? - Have you ever intentionally caused an animal to suffer pain? (Killing insects doesn't count unless you mutilate them for kicks.) - Do you ever talk during a performance or movie at a theater? - Do you ever leave your cell phone turned on while you are at a movie or performance? - Have you ever killed someone without legal justification? - Do you ever play rap music very loud on your car stereo with the windows down? And for the sex part, well, they just were not very imaginative IMO - - Have you ever had sex in exchange for money or drugs? - Have you ever had sex with a midget? - How about an amputee? - Have you ever raped anyone who didn't ask you in advance? - Do you ever engage in phone sex? - Do you ever engage in simulated sex in a chat room on the Internet? - Have you told someone lies to get them to go to bed with you? - Have you ever used a false name with a sheep? - How about a chicken? Based on these questions (all my answers are NO, by the way), I am much, much purer than that silly test thinks!!!!!
