I'm glad that's finally been officially quantified.
I guess I must hang around you during the 20% "not an asshole" time, because that number looks wrong to me.
Suzi, who is only 33% bitch (which means I probably cheated)

I always suspected that I might be an asshole. Or at least a closet misanthrope. It's not that I don't like people; I just don't like people I don't come into personal contact with. Anonymity breeds animosity. The on-line world has made people mean, IMO. The disconnected nature of on-line communities fosters meanness. It jades a person.
I normally proceed from a position of "assume civility and maturity". I'm often disappointed. Like when my car got keyed down to the metal, just for parking on a public street near my work. There's humanity, right there.
So enough of that happens, and you figure that most everyone is shit, and they can work their way up from there. You wouldn't cause a couple thousand dollars damage to a random guy's property, right? Neither would I. But can really you expect that same courtesy from most of the populace? Apparently not.
Pessimists are rarely disappointed.
I'm 45% bitch, apparently. But clearly, since my sister only scored 33%, I can blame at least 12% of it on association with Wee. ;-)
I can see where the "anonymity breeds animosity" perspective comes from, but I don't agree with the conclusion that most people are shit unless proven otherwise. Otherwise, we'd be getting keyed and dented and vandalized every day. Nasty people just make a bigger impression when they impose upon your life than the thousands of amiable people who leave you alone. I guess I've been lucky to meet enough people who were helpful to me when they didn't need to be that my perspective is somewhat balanced.

Posted by wee at January 25, 2005 8:38 AMIn my defense, I re-took the test and am now only 30% Asshole.
Maybe I was just having a bad day when I took it the first time... :-)

Posted by Shane at January 25, 2005 2:02 PMnaw, i liked you shane. you didn't seem an asshole at all. Wee on the other hand....
Posted by t at February 16, 2005 10:00 PMrtfo! 68% baby...
You are abrasive, some people really hate you, but there may be a group of other tight knit assholes and bitches that you hang out with and get you. Everybody else? Fuck �em.
and that, ladies, gents and shane, pretty much sums it up.
