When you went to that party that one time, how often were your jokes/general attempts at social contact followed by a deathly silence that hung in the air like the smell of a mouldy goat?

My results:

Socially Adept

42% Ineptitude

Aah, the happy place! You're socially adept and probably well-liked amongst many groups of people. Chances are you don't totally commit yourself, but you instead get to know many people from many social groups. You're assertive in that you can stand up for yourself without offending anybody, and you usually leave a positive impression on people you meet. You're a loyal friend who's there for them when they need you, but you don't allow others to take advantage. All in all, a well-rounded individual - so come on in, the friendship's warm! (PS did I mention that I HATE YOU!)

The Social Ineptitude Test
What was your score on the amnesia test :-p
Yeah, I thought we'd done this one before, but I didn't feel like checking.

Anyone that hasn't taken it can take it. :biggrin:

I'm trying to find tests I know are acceptable and that would be interesting to most people. Which is why I haven't posted the Celtic knowledge test.

Ok, so here's a replacement test.

The Ancient Celts Test

You scored 80 in Celtic history!

One of the first questions is, "would you rather be intelligent and ugly forever or beautiful and stupid forever?" :eek:

I claim lesser social ineptness than the test-maker by knowing that each is impossible. :zzz:

You scored 60 in Celtic history!
Were you listening in High School?

I am humbled. (Yeah, like my high school would have taught something resembling history.)

I think 60 means you only missed two questions. I am in awe, I never expected anyone here to score that high.
 
As much as I want this moment to continue, I think it means I missed four, since there are ten questions. Did you get all of them right with an 80?

BTW, do you know where I can meet an Ovarian Druid? :blushing:

Imagine being stupid and ugly. I wonder what it's like being Intelligent and beautifull. Anyway there's more to me than my brains and my looks and that's why I got 38% aren't I good :smile:

No everybody loves me :wink::biggrin:

I was wicked and chose that option, but nothing really fitted and that was the closest:biggrin:

I have an interest in all religions pagan an organised so that's not too bad, everyones heard of the Celtic Gods haven't they? Sidhe is pronounced Shee as in Ban Shee or BeanSidhe to give her her proper name, AAMOI.

I've been taking too many tests, they're all starting to run together. Yes, that should be 4. But, there's no way I missed two, there was only one question I wasn't sure of.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 0% on history

Errr
Celtic History ? I cannot recall ever taking such classes, we were too occupied studying Roman History and the Middel Ages.

It definitely wasn't taught in my school.

Ok, everyone that scored under 80 percent needs to go here. Some of my favorite Celtic resources.

Socially Obsessed
26% Ineptitude
Well congratu-freakin-lations, you're socially obsessed - pure overkill. You know, it IS possible to have too much of a good thing... and where popularity's concerned, this definitely applies to YOU. When it comes to friends, you're more interested in upping the numbers rather than getting close to the ones you already have. Friendship, like many things, are status symbols to you, and you dedicate your life to getting more of them. You're aggressive and uncompromising with others. When your friends don't do what you want them to do, you ditch them without a second thought. In school, you were probably a cheerleader, football player and/or total and utter ***** with long false nails. (Maybe you still are?) But seriously, please try to realize that your public image isn't nearly as important as genuine happiness. Stop for a second and take the time to appreciate what you've already got... you never know, it might create a whole new, tree-hugging, friendship-bracelet making you!

:rolleyes:

Social Drifter - 69% Ineptitude

"don't really waste time with social activities, preferring isolated ones instead like sitting on your ass and answering pointless social ineptitude tests that really don't tell you anything you don't already know... "

... pointless social ineptitude tests that I found in a dead thread, no less!

You hover around the outskirts of many social scenes, sampling here and there but not really committing yourself. Chances are you're one of those GOTH or EMO types, who are aware of their defunct social status but frankly, really don't care. You avoid confrontation but can handle yourself if necessary, and don't really waste time with social activities, preferring isolated ones instead...
:smile: :smile: :smile:

This is really hard to argue with :biggrin:

Often not, but I don't think that had much to do with history :-p
