I got 44. Which fell in the 30 - 49 range, which gave me;

There's hope; you suspect some of the darker truths about the profession, and have an idea of what some of the rewards are. If you really want to do this, you'll face some disillusionment, but also stand a good chance of finding the real joys of the profession.

I think not having finished reading a book in a while and being able to stop not just mid-sentence, but mid-word when writing are what killed me. XP

Lol! I got 81..

80 - 103 points -- You'll probably make a great writer. You should think very carefully before getting married, having children, or buying a pet, however. Walking into your livingroom and discovering the dust-covered skeleton that was your cat -- or your spouse -- can be really bad for morale.

:lol::D

It's the oddest place I've ever written that pushed it over the edge. :P

I can't really say anything because I did that test awhile ago. Now I'm uninspired...stuck so deep in writer's block it's scary. Which is bad, considering I have two novels underway. :cry:

I did this a while ago but redid it just now and got 81. Cant remember my previous score. The only reason it was so low was because I was scared to quit my 'day job'...or would be, if I had one... :shock: lol

I can't take it... I'm too good for it.
jk :D But I can't take it, as I figuired out the system as I was taking it. My view on the point system dragged me down a bunch. I was getting a feeling that the Ds were the most points as they were the most extreme of writing situations. I can't take a true quiz if I can't focus on what's really true about me. If that makes sense. Tute!

I noticed too, but retained the hope some might not all be D's, so took it anyway. I got high 80's. But that was I while ago, and I didn't want to post it before, because... I don't know it's just embarressing to get high scores sometimes.

He he! I rated "You don't want to know" for the weirdest place you've ever written, this is due to me having written: In my hammock, in my bed, on the toilet (gross, but true) in the garden, in my old spider infested cubby, in home class, in maths, in science, while I'm supposed to be watching a movie... etc. Heheheh!

Oh come on Z! You don't do ANY of these things! Just try it, no one will laugh if you fail it or anything!
