Interesting quiz. I got 6 out of 10.

1. I got one. I suck.

[NV Whino]

2. Five out of ten, a bit better than the average person

Well worth taking the test. Good information to be had.

3. 5 right.

I've been watching "Scared Straight"...can't believe it has negative results.

And yet they continue with the program!

4. You got 7 right. If you guessed randomly, there's a 2% probability of getting at least that many rig

5. 6 out of 10 here.

Few quick fixes. Most things that work rely on compelling self-introspection, mindfulness (not the Buddhist definition, but the "expropriated" psych one), and empathy. Some just increase alienation and self-absorption; some alleviate an actual need.

In other words, if you feel like part of the community or group you're not going to hurt the group without a damned good reason.

That should be a wake up for a lot of people.

Most of the ones I missed were saying no effect and correct answer was negative effect.

7. 8 out of 10

That was a surprise.

8. Any that work at all after 40 years of destroying social programs are GOP failures.

9. 7 out of 10

One that I got wrong I was thinking "negative" but clicked "no effect" for some reason. It did come up as a negative.
