HOW TO SCORE YOUR TEST
For every A you circled, give yourself 5 points.
For every B you circled, give yourself 3 points.
For every C you circled, give yourself 2 points.
For every D you circled, give yourself 0 points.
If you circled any E's, take away two points.

KEY
125-100 points: You are very easy to get along with on both a friendship and romantic basis.  Actually, you might be too easy to get along with, and therefore everyone will end up despising you for it.  Of course, you had absolutely no fun whatsoever taking this test.
99-70 points: You are quite a lot of fun to have around, but you, like the nerd above you, really won't have many friends either.  Ironic how this test works, isn't it?
69 or 68 points: You are actually Leonard Maltin, the famous movie critic.
67-45 points: You are somewhere in the middle.  These are typically the people who don't like extremens.  In fact, you don't like extremes so much that this write-up itself is too much for you.  Buy a book or something.
44-15 points: You're not easy to get along with at all, and not only that, you're probably really not looked upon that well by the opposite sex.  But you probably had more fun than most people taking this test, and not only that, but you're really good at minor arithmatic dilemmas.
15-0 points: You are the scum of the Earth.  Nobody, including other people who scored between a 15 and a 0 on this test, would ever consider talking to you, even under gunpoint.  Now would be a great time to consider kamikazi pilot as a career.
Less than 0 points: This is truly bad, because it implies that you circled at least one of the letter E's on this test.  You should immedaitely check into a mental institution and for God's sake, stop going to stores and buying SIXTEEN magazines.  I'd hate to think this is what our business has sunk down to.
-24 points: You have failed this test completely.  You are obviously some member of the Backstreet Boys.  Get a life.

Next week: Are you a good accountant?
