Hi all you fine folks;)
I have a strange question, did any one hear or take a test
called.MMPI(Minnestota Multiphasic Personality Inventory)
Wow, what a freak show that is...lol 560 true or false question I guess they
feel they can tell alot about you and group into an area of labels???
Anyway,I volenteer with a state funded program for batterd families,and in the
proscess of trying to get some state funding...lol that's a joke
This test came up and was asked to be given to certain individuals residing at
the center and volenteers...so I am taking it...it is so funny, and
transparent,they should just come out and ask the question instead of asking
stupid beat around the bush crap!
Some examples;
I never worry about my looks T F
I like science
I am fascinated by fire.....ya fire fire fire...hee....sheesh
If I were an artist I would draw children.....?????

Well, if anyone is interested in this test , I plan to scan it...lol I cannot
wait to see what they think of me!!!
There coming to take me away... damn I dont look good in white..

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...

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
5) T F if i were stoned things would seem a lot more normal
6) T F my nipples explode with delight
7) T F if i were a teacher i would expect to be stoned
8) T F if i were a rich man i'd spend it all on a sex change
9) T F sometimes, i just can't help spitting at vacuous
cross-posters
10) T F my hovercraft is full of eels

we need many more questions...

Brandon J. Freels takes the test:

>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.

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
