Hopefully last iteration for this revision of the test...

I've switch scoring to raw scores, after some thought. If you're bored, please try your hand at it so I can compare your score before to your score now and get a sense of how their percentage scaling works.

Muahaha. I will have the perfect pseudo-scientific-narcissistic test! *grin*

EDIT Found errors within the test itself and how it was scoring. Corrected as of 2:45 EST. Not that most of you care.

OK, your test just dropped me from 89% to 25% yummy. I'm not sure that your percentage scaling is working quite the way you wanted it to.

[neeuqdrazil.livejournal.com]

Mine dropped from 70-something to 14%.

[iclysdale.livejournal.com]

Well, at least the percentage scaling is consistent. :-)

Oops, that's not a percentage. I didn't fix the words part. Here's what you got, and info that puts it in perspective.:

Yum factor ranges from -101 to 45. You got a score of 25.
Friend factor ranges from -17 to 68. You got a score of 47.
Sex factor ranges from -10 to 20. You got a score of 18.
Compatibility factor ranges from -187 to 159. You got a score of 61.

It's no longer a percentage. This version gives you the raw score.

"Yummy: -22, Friend: 38, Sex: 9, Compatibility: 27"

No surprises, here. :)

Oh, by the way, on question 22, neither of the answers really works for me. I think they're both true. I like to be able to say whatever's in my head with my friends (and lovers, of course), but I don't feel like I need to be able to do that all the time, and I don't expect others to do that with me (except about big stuff that affects me directly, like "I was thinking of moving to a different continent" :-).

Yummy: 2, Friend: 59, Sex: 16, Compatibility: 119

Don't remember what my previous scores were.

Yummy: 26, Friend: 48, Sex: 12, Compatibility: 108

[marius23.livejournal.com]

Yummy: 25, Friend: 49, Sex: 18, Compatibility: 93

Wait, did I take it before or after then? Probably before because I just got raw variables... I posted my results in my lj.

[sassy-fae.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you can make better sense of the results than I! :D Here's my score: Yummy: -1, Friend: 39, Sex: 10, Compatibility: 44

I know it's the raw data, but -1 is such a dismal sounding score.. *sniff*

[vokzal.livejournal.com]

I take it you don't like anal play?

Yummy: -5, Friend: 38, Sex: 8, Compatibility: 107

OkCupid says: 84 match, 83 friend.

Seems like OkCupid give something higher.

(Yes, I am procrastinating)

Yummy: 72, Friend: 58, Sex: 66, Compatibility: 70

Yum factor ranges from -101 to 40. You got a score of xxx. Friend factor ranges from -31 to 69. You got a score of yyy. Sex factor ranges from -10 to 20. You got a score of zzz. Compatibility factor ranges from -207 to 159. You got a score of www. compatibility: -207 to 159

It seems the system gets a bit confused when the scales change.
