Lit quiz

Well-Read Indeed! Take that, Mrs. McGreevey! You scored 115 of 290!

Wow! OK, some of those were really tricky--but you made it through! Not only would you pass most lit courses, you probably thought about being an English major. Actually, with those numbers, you might be a grad student! Have you given any thought to a PhD? You know they confer omniscience with those, right? Then on the margin of the world I sit and think 'til Love and Fame to nothingness do shrink.

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 66% on litpoints

Have I given any thought to a PhD? Yes, and then I thought, why don't I spoon out my eyes instead? I never thought of being an "English major", in fact, my highest Eng Lit qualification is a GCSE.

I somehow scored 190--75%. This is a result of peering squint-eyed at the question and deciding it seems like it's shaped vaguely like a Bronte-saurus this time...

I was relying on the time-honoured, "It was a 'c' last time, and a 'b' before that... odds are it's a 'd' this time..."

Perhaps that is why they give the percentage scores according to age groups: so that the older and wiser don't trounce the young and foolish with their test-taking techniques...
