Is there something wrong with this test or is there something

wrong with me? Perhaps this is common to conlangers, being a

little of both? >>

    Wow...  I totally agree.  Of course, I've taken one of these before...  I
forget how it came out.  I should take it again.  :)  Anyway, I've always
felt like these tests either (a) tested the mood you were in at the moment,
trusting that you're in a "normal/average" mood, or (b) tested the persona
that you invent as you take the test which is "yourself", or how you see
yourself or want to be seen, or don't.
