If you're crazy and you know it, clap your hands...
Well, taking this Sanity Test Mokuba posted up, I gotta say it's obviously not geared towards 'Domino-normal' reality. That said... a few more thoughts from while I took the test.
If your chief source of income is a non-traditional occupation, subtract .5
Hmm, depends what we call non-traditional, right?
If you are homeless, subtract 5
What if your home is a cardboard box, are you still homeless? Not that my house is of course.
If you live without a television, subtract 2
Sounds like the test means the tv set itself, meaning anyone who watched tv shows online instead has to subtract. Poor them.
If you are homosexual, subtract 2
...Yup, this is clearly not talking about Domino-reality. And for the record again, I'm bi, but I'm gonna assume that counts too.
If you have deliberately and unnecessarily killed an animal, subtract 2
I wonder what they consider 'unnecessarily'. Assuming this isn't meaning anyone who ain't a vegan must subtract 2, assuming they're not targeting butchers either.
If you have had a near death experience, subtract 2
Who hasn't?
...Seriously, who hasn't?
If you have experienced a past life, subtract 1
Does it necessarily have to be my past life, or do other people's past lives count too?
If you have produced practical knowledge from a past life, subtract 1
I can't help wondering what is defined as 'practical'. Things more important than if someone's past self had a thing for dresses or makeup? Not that I'd know either way.
If you have been lost in a forest (or similar wilderness) for more than 1 hour, subtract 1
...Define 'lost'
If you have been stuck in a high place (clifftop, water tower, really tall tree) subtract 1
Are we counting really tall buildings? Tokyo has lots of those after all.
If you have been trapped underground, subtract 1
How bout subways? They're underground.
If you have been stuck in a confined place underground, subtract 2
And subways are confined, whaddya know!
If you have been deliberately buried alive, subtract 10
As opposed to what, accidentally buried alive? Deliberately buried dead?
If you have been present during a natural disaster, subtract .5
What's considered 'natural' in Domino?
If you have been present at a deliberate man-made disaster, subtract 3
Do Mahaado-related disasters count? I mean, they weren't deliberate... usually, I think. Not to be rude to ya buddy, but yeah...
If you have had permanent brain damage, subtract 5
But stuff like temporary amnesia is okay? Not that I ever have, just asking.
If you have looked for the dark side of the moon, subtract 1
If you saw it, subtract 1
Can I get happy crazy points if I claim to have been there too?
If you have more than 30 pieces of (non-kitchen) cutlery, subtract 1
Question: What's considered non-kitchen cutlery?
Better Question: ...Do you, Mr or Ms TestMaker, really expect me to know how much I have without counting?
If you have more than 1000 square inches of tattoo, subtract 2
You expect me to know that off-hand too?! Er, no, probably isn't that much anyways...
If you have obtained verifiably true information from voices in your head, subtract 3
But false info or unverifiable stuff is okay? What if the info maybe could be verified, but the person in question was too lazy to prove it true or false?
If you have seen a UFO, subtract 1
Hmm, I think it's been awhile since any were reported seen around Domino, am I right?
If you have been abducted by aliens, subtract 5
Think they mean interplanetary or interdimensional?
If you are working in league with those aliens to abduct other humans, subtract 5
Would it still count as 'other humans' since I'm not human? Er... not that I am or would be doing something like that, of course.
If you have seen an elf, faun, faerie, leprechaun, dwarf, or gnome, subtract 2
Yup, this test is clearly not made for Domino-reality. Or Japan-reality even.
If you have been abducted by the "Little People", subtract 3
The Little People demand to know why they get less crazy points for their abductions than the aliens. They also probably wonder what's with those quotation marks.
If you have seen a spiritual entity of any kind (with your physical eyes), subtract 1
Can I count myself as a spiritual entity?
If you have been attacked by a nonphysical entity, subtract 1
If dark clouds count, I think that's most everyone in Domino.
If you had imaginary friends as a child, subtract 1
Depends what one considers real or imaginary... wait, that's the point of this test isn't it.
If you have travelled astrally, subtract 1
Does Mahaado's teleportation thing count? Certainly sounds like it might. Does Azaroth count?
If you have travelled astrally to a place normally hostile (the Sun, ocean bottom etc) subtract 1
...Seriously, does Azaroth count?
If you have read George Hay's Necronomicon, kick yourself.
Heh, how many people get the meaning behind this line I wonder.
If you have spoken with a deceased person whose identity is verified, subtract 1
But unverified, that's a-okay.
If you have spoken with a "demon", subtract 1
Ah, ya caught me, I've talked to myself occasionally... but seriously, what's with those random quotation marks? The aliens didn't get them.
If the demon was conjured by yourself, subtract 2
If the demon was entered into a Pact with yourself, subtract 3
No, I wasn't conjured or pacted, how insulting.
If there is a global conspiracy, subtract 1
Of course there's conspiracies. But global ones? Hmm...
If you have ever seen a psychotherapist (single visit), add 2
If you have ever had regular therapy sessions, add 5
...Is that a hint that maybe I should consider it?
If you have hair above the collar (male), add 1
I should certainly hope I have hair, eyebrows, and so forth on my head. Hair below the collar is good too.
If you have ever been prescribed anti-nuts medication (Ritalin, Prozac), add 5
If you took the damn stuff, add 15
...why?
Oh, and to anyone who actually read all this way to find out my score, or even just scrolled to the end of the post...
40: Some impairment in reality testing or communication (eg speech is at times illogical, obscure, or irrelevant) OR major impairment in several areas, such as work or school, family relations, judgment, thinking or mood (eg depressed man avoids friends, neglects family, and is unable to work; child frequently beats up younger children, is defiant at home, and is failing at school)
If your chief source of income is a non-traditional occupation, subtract .5
