A quick, fun, and somewhat random test with 100 questions that you can all see on a single page, thus easy to judge if you like it. I got 50, but now clue if that's average or not.
Seen on Twitter.

80 but why? I barely checked anything, only a few things here and there.
Completion of all items on this test will likely result in death.
Blah blah, death is the default outcome anyway.

The score seems to be 100 minus the number of answers you clicked. No answers mean completely pure.

This is awful. What do most of these items have to do with acquiring the map that reflects the territory? (I got 65, but that's because I've wasted my life in this lame cult. It's not cool or funny.)

If you got 65, then the test seems to measure something real. It's not the test's fault that you think you wasted your time.
It would be interesting to have a different test that asks about your knowledge of the Sequences. Maybe you can create one?

It's testing for conformity to folk values, not mythic values.
