Kudos for the SKU reference in your first test.

You scored 45 alignment, 41 paradoxicality, and 58 sentience

Those don't really sound like good numbers, I can't honestly tell. But I'm not honest on the test anyway, since I had to lie about my age. I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that that somehow factored in there, but I know it was just used to rate me against other takers of the same age group and gender.

I'm not taking the second one yet, I need to go do something to feel smart.

I took the noun test and scored in the 99th percentile on all three variables. That's why it's good to go first. And it said I was ska...which is cool with me, I love the Pietasters!

EDIT:And a 36/40 on the judicial test gets me a 90% accuracy, but puts me in the 99th percentile there as well!

I think the percentiles compare you to other people your own age and gender; it's possible that there wasn't a lot of data from other test takers like you.  But a few hundred people have taken the Noun Test, so you're hardly the first   On the other hand, people tend to frigging fail the Judicial Test, so you may well have gotten history's second highest score on that one -- after a friend of mine who was brought up by two lawyers and got 38/40.  And you tied Shattered, evidently; congrats to you both

What was your noun?  With all your scores between 40 and 60, I'm thinking it was ska?  I wrote that test forever ago.  Anyway, there are no right answers to any of those questions, so your numbers aren't "good" or "bad," just "you."

In case anyone's interested, "alignment" is good vs. evil.  You gain points by answering "honesty and purity!" to moral dilemmas, and lose points by killing everyone aboard passenger trains from London to Hamburg.  "Sentience" is a cross between intelligence and common sense.  You gain points by figuring out when trains from London to Hamburg meet, and lose points by saying that rock beats paper.  "Paradoxicality" is how complicated you like to make things.  You gain points by picking bizarre answers to questions, and lose points by pointing out that there are no passenger trains that run from London to Hamburg.

I chose those three categories basically at random, because I wanted the test to feel offbeat.  I think it worked; I get a lot of positive feedback

P.S. For the record, I score as A Frightened Raccoon on my own test.

Congratulations, you are Merriam-Webster's New International Dictionary, 3rd Edition! Straightforward and authoritative, you are the one looked to when words fail us, and it is said that even the meaning of life may be found within your pages. Cheerio! May your binding never break.

I'd like to try the Judicial Test, but I know I will fail miserably

Foreman: We find the defendant NOT GUILTY.

Judge: Counsel, wake up -- you won the case.

Counsel: Zzzzz.

State: Dang and blast! I'll get you next time, User! NEXT TIME!

I...I only got a 25 on the judicial test? Waaaah. Need to know more old cases.

That should make you a fellow frightened raccoon!  Yay!

And 25 on the Judicial Test is high enough for ice cream, isn't it?

Congratulations, you are Hurricane Humberto! A powerful force of devastating simplicity, you would forever change people's lives if only you would stop putzing around a thousand miles from humanity. Don't be content to be ignored by others! Rock their worlds and blow their minds!

Is that good?? *devastatingly simple*

No good or bad, just you   Though I'm going to have to find a new name for that category now that there's been an actual Hurricane Humberto that actually did make landfall.  Blast!

Congratulations, you are Kenya!  Your personality has amazing depth and variety, all laid out for anyone who visits to see.  You cavort with giraffes and gazelles, but fear the lions and tigers that lie deep within your borders.  Realize that these inner demons are no less a part of you than the gazelles, and you may begin your journey towards taming them.

Tamago keeps stealing my test results from the future!

Is this meant to be a trick question?

...and its kinda crappy anyway.

Insightful? Dude, I'm the Prime Minister of Japan. In a fez.

If that's not insightful I don't know what is.

I put in the answers in random, because I'm taking it just for fun

When I took the Noun Test, I got Kenya as my result.

I scored 21/40 on the Judicial Test, and that without the aid of Lady Lortab. I get ice cream! Yayy!! ICE CREAM!!
