The Internet has already effectively written it. About a million times.
But I would want to write some statements that I would strongly disagree with. For instance, "It is wise to engage in an MFF threesome shortly following an exhausting athletic event." I would probably disagree with that one now, though maybe not as an adolescent, even if we were to stipulate a perfect evenness in sexual attraction to the FFs.
1) Did you know what a Likert Scale was without looking it up?
Strongly disagree
Disagree
Neither agree nor disagree
Agree
Strongly agree

This is in response to all the quizzes that make you pick between false dichotomies and try to create artificial clumps of people. Mine would allow for all 300 million personality types.
I have a colleague who somehow manages to work the phrase "Likert Scale" into most of her conversations, so it now seems like a phrase that people use commonly.
I'm familiar enough with the term to have understood it from context. I thought heebie was proposing a different sort of quiz in which one would first write a set of statements one agrees with. Then one would pick "strongly agree" for them all. While other options would be provided, they wouldn't ever be taken, as one had only written statements one agreed with. And afterwards one would be assigned a meaningless label, and be told that one's opposite was the fictional person who would have disagreed with all of them.
Was that not the idea?
And yes, that would be a silly idea for a personality quiz, but I thought perhaps heebie was taking the opportunity here to be silly, rather than demonstrating that she knows what a Likert scale is.
It would be interesting to come across my opposite. Though if it happened early in life, that might set up a bunch of conflict.
I knew what a Likert scale was because I write up clinical trial results for a living.
Woody Allen abused Dylan Farrow
Barack Obama's presidency has been a net positive
Late merging is the best!
Copyright laws are fair
8: I use the term professionally also, starting back in my political science days.
Maybe the quiz should have some feeling thermometers.
For the negative questions you could use the Don't Likert Scale
The JP/apo scale in 9 and 10 is a bit more confusing.
If the statements in 9/10 are the labels on a quasi-Likert scale, the question is, "I am an average news consumer."
On a scale from Woody Allen abused Dylan Farrow to Iranians come from Mexico, describe the level of discomfort you are feeling right now.
Actually, I rather like football.
Canada exists.
Heebie is right.
Jessica Biel has a nice ass.
SWPL was a funny website.
Having a thread where everyone posted under a different pseud would be a good idea.
Lolcat Scale:
DO NOT WANT!
CANNOT HAS
O HAI
CAN HAS
WANT!
We'll need one more option before we can map the JP/apo scale to the FPS-R.
For some reason, there are a lot of people in my FB feed commenting that their quiz results are eerily accurate, and I'm not responding "Congrats! You're a cliche!"
22 indicates that you are 75% introvert.
Distressed babies made AOL have to cut benefits.
Is 22 a general observation or is there some specific quiz going around right now?
all 300 million personality types
There are only four.
For the record, I am beyond tense and pissy with this single parenting gig right now. Aaaargh. Obviously I'd get better at it if I was forced to do it regularly, and I'd deal, but right now my circumstances are exceeding my skillset by a long shot.
Sit back and let 'em go full Lord of the Flies and only intervene to prevent death or serious injury.
I can still sort of remember how exciting I found Meyers-Briggs in high school, the whole "narcissism of medium-sized differences" thing, blah blah, someone had finally told me WHO I WAAAAAS and now I just categorically find any such quiz makes my eyes cross with disinterest and if I get even three answers in they are all "it depends." Except for ones that ask me what they call roly polies where I come from because that's fun.
I made Buck take the "Which David Bowie Persona Are You" quiz going around Facebook, (I read him the questions and didn't tell him what the point of the quiz was), but that's just because he was a Bowie obsessive when he was younger. He got "Present Day Bowie," which, probably the dullest possible option.
Sorry, heebie. I feel your pain to some degree. I mean, at some point Lee will come back and she won't even have a perm, but all I want is a nap and a little quiet.
which, probably the dullest possible option.
At least he wasn't the Thin White Duke.
Apparently I am Ziggy Stardust. Seems questionable, but who am I to argue with Zimbio?
I just deleted a whole comment because I don't want to complain too much about Lee, but sheesh, I sort of do! How is she getting her second nap after going out for lunch on her own and planning to go out again this evening when we have a babysitter with the assumption that I can stay home and nap then, even though the reason for the babysitter was to take me out for a birthday dinner? Maybe when she wakes up she'll have her priorities changed a bit.
Is there a quiz to let me know if I can go running in this weather without hurting myself?
31 re Bowie, I still recognize him from his dental records.

You know, there's a great deal to be said for a stationary bike.
I made Buck take the "Which David Bowie Persona Are You" quiz
Thinking about where I might score I hope that "you are Brian Eno" is an option.
I came out Ziggy Stardust, which I find puzzling, but I'll take it.
You Scored as The Man Who Sold The World/Hunky Dory
Oh! You pretty thing! Androgyny is sexy, immortals are tragic as you feel you can be at times, and you're a peace-loving hippie. Love on ya!
Which doesn't fit well, but none of them were over 50%; that was just the best of the available options.
Xeriscaping is taking pubic grooming too far.
Fuck. I got "present day Bowie" despite shading my answers, without lying, to try and get either Aladin Sane or Ziggy Stardust.
Apparently, if you ask Bowie these days about the past almost every answer is basically "I don't know. Cocaine is a hell of a drug."
I got the early Bowie, about whom I know very little. I chalk it up to the conspiracy to question my manhood.
The puzzling thing about this conspiracy is that my manhood is quite open for all sorts of dialogue. I don't understand why all the whispering is necessary.
I also got "Alanis Morissette" for the "Which 90s female indie rocker are you?" quiz.* God damn it do these quizzes ever blow.
*The one that Shirley Manson took, but didn't get "Shirley Manson" on.
81% Thomas Jerome Newton, 69% Berlin.
I got Ke$ha, because I'm retrospectively futuristic.
I got Kim Deal, which I'm fine with.
I've been waiting for rob h-c to tell us that he got Hermione Granger.
helpy chalk is always already Hermione Granger.
Mine would allow for all 300 million personality types.
Only Americans have personalities. The rest of us are too inscrutable.
Your quiz needs more Beyonce. Plus maybe favorite cocktails.
He got "Present Day Bowie," which, probably the dullest possible option.
??? Richer than Croesus for having outsmarted both RIAA execs and also financiers simultaneously. Married to Iman for two decades.
Please where can I these dullness lessons?
I meant dullest in the literal sense of least optically reflective. You have to admit that current Bowie is less glittery than pretty much any other option.
Maybe that's just because the screens today have so many more pixels.
