I lived in Minnesota and yes I took that once; mine came up
false positive, so they had to break out another test to test my
testiness about the first test. I think it, like all other personality
profiles and shortcuts to the "art" of psychology, is pure guano
used to coat a relative lack of intuitive energy on the part of the
interviewer/overpaid mental miner. Actually they are divinely
obvious searches, but the ones giving them think they are double-
binds that catch some type of truth. I think it probably works to
identify the simpler neurotics (who are as easily identifiable by
their chewed nails and ultra-clean hands!) and the pure psychotics
(whom one could enumerate and grade by the size of the puppy
pile under the deck), but they really slip between the cracks on
subtler mental formations.
Or some such rubbish...

I took it once & they said I had a Multiphasic Personality.
this has always struck me as a particularly unjust slam against minnesota.
obviously this test was conceived by outside agitators since no one around
here has enough personality to justify an inventory.
i propose the "alt.surrealism multiphasic imagination inventory" or "m i i?"
for short.
1) T F i am fascinated by the fires that consume me
2) T F i never worry about liking the taste of battery acid
3) T F i am repelled by crosses
4) T F i am attracted to pyromaniacs

6) T F my nipples explode with delight

perceived as contradictions."

>1) T F I am fascinated by the fires that consume me
True. I also am fascinated by fires that consume beverages.
>2) T F I never worry about liking the taste of battery acid
False. I worry about everything.
>3) T F I am repelled by crosses
True. I also repel crosses.
>4) T F I am attracted to pyromaniacs
True. I am also attracted to water nymphs, but unfortunately only their
carcasses are attracted to me.
>5) T F if I were stoned things would seem a lot more normal
True. There is nothing more normal than a pack of villagers throwing stones
at you.
>6) T F my nipples explode with delight
Always true. My breasts are atomic bombs.
>7) T F if I were a teacher I would expect to be stoned
True. This should be a modern ritual.
>8) T F if I were a rich man I'd spend it all on a sex change
True, but not just "a" sex change. If I had the money I would try and change
my sex as often as possible, transcending gender, race, and animal
genitalia.
>9) T F sometimes, I just can't help spitting at vacuous
cross-posters
True. There is nothing more to say.
>10) T F my hovercraft is full of eels
False. Where do I get a hovercraft?

Jesus thanks you. But I wasn't born here, does that give me a leg up
on the rest of the hydrants? If Hitler had been born in Minnesota Life's
Man of the Year in 1938 would have been Arthur Godfrey.
> 1) T F i am fascinated by the fires that consume me
T: but only if they are re-sealable.
> 2) T F i never worry about liking the taste of battery acid
T: because battery acid is the transubtantiated body of Lucfier.
> 3) T F i am repelled by crosses
F: they are repelled by me
> 4) T F i am attracted to pyromaniacs
T: if they are in love with government structures
> 5) T F if i were stoned things would seem a lot more normal
F: I would love to stone Sharon Stone and Pebbles
> 6) T F my nipples explode with delight
T: a prerequisite for entering the InfraSchool of Mirth
7) T F if i were a teacher i would expect to be stoned
F: I would settle for a light buzz and infest the blackboard
8) T F if i were a rich man i'd spend it all on a sex change
T: but only small change and with a generous tip.
9) T F sometimes, i just can't help spitting at vacuous cross-posters
F: too busy flossing Jesus out of my ass
10) T F my hovercraft is full of eels
T: and every other one is a professed neu neutopian
