Apparently, I'm a deluded altruistic post who broods while playing on the swings and see-saw, and a gullible prat.

    I'm recommending you for the fast track program based on your creative response. HUGS.

    I said post. I meant poet. How could I be a post, FFS? Apparently I'm a bad editor as well.

    Hugs back.

    Elric is giving me a hard time.

Is this for real or did you just find it somewhere? Did you make it up? If so, really clever, and funny too. I'm a straight E or F.... be flippant or don't bother. I can't take any of these quickie test seriously.

Do they really expect paying students to WORK for them too????

    I made it all up and the last paragraph explains why I would stoop to writing a quiz--sheer boredom. Thanks.

    Well, it was verrry clever, Ingrid. Very well done! The meanings for the answers were especially creative. Bravo. :)

I found the quiz strange but interesting. I was wondering how the quiz would determine if an individual would make it as a writer. It is creative and fun to read.

    It was all a joke. I wrote the whole thing, just having fun.

I had a ball reading this and filling out the questionnaire. I am a clear-cut E except there is no way you will ever get me bungee , but I do own a chartreuse blouse and two pairs of chartreuse socks, and boy do I love truffles! And what's wrong with being narcissistic and self-absorbed??? I've never had a problem with it.

Terrific work with this one, you had me rolling on the floor from beginning to end.

This test is total nonsense and has nothing at all to do with a persons ability to write. If this is a real test that this university gives to its students. I would then have to tell people to avoid going to this school. This article was well written and very informative... John

    Oh John, you never read down to the bottom. That is apparent as in the last paragraph all is explained.

Well... Unlike most, I'll bet, I finished the exam. Why? Because it was there. I had a sneaking suspicion it was a comedy app based on some of the answers... but I plodded on.

I had more "A" answers. I want people to read and buy what I write. I love to write poetry, but I want to be a published poet (and since there are so few of those, I choose other writing venues.

If I didn't take the test I would have never seen there was an "F" choice.

It was fun, though.!

    Truly, I was just bored and going squirrel crazy editing my book and only meant in fun.

    It does have a sort of crazy validity, though.

Ingrid, I couldn't score myself on this NYU admissions test because I was doubled over with laughter at the answer choices and the smartass reasons I could give for chosing them. What a fun test! :D Nancy

    I'm getting silly and proving that procrastination is truly an art form in my world.

    For a week I've been obsessed with the book (up to chapter 22) and it appears I can't multi-task as I am avoiding cleaning up the kitchen or thinking about what to make for dinner--in spite of the fact I have family tonight.

    This little piece of trash was my excuse to have some fun and forget my tax bill is overdue.

    Thanks for the stars.

    If they put you in jail for not paying your taxes, does that mean you don't have to cook or clean? There may not be much of a downside here. :D Nancy

    You bet! Why do you suppose so many windows are broken in November by street people who want to get in from the cold?

    Can't say as I blame them.

I may have trouble typing this since I cannot stop laughing. My degree was in Psychology so I fully appreciate the absolute futility of trying to predict the outcome of any phase of the human experience since it is always all in our hands - even if we choose to deny it. Thank you so much for a wonderful read and now I think I will go select the alcohol of choice for the day and order my lox so I can get writing.

    Well by golly, thanks for returning the laugh. I surely do appreciate both the stars and the break in my otherwise gloomy mood so that I can enjoy a giggle.
