Dang it all. You got me. I am sitting here thoughtfully going over all the answers and never once thought it was bogus. It really does seem like something that would be done in a pompous University. Good job.

Well good for you that you actually read the whole thing. Quite a few folks stopped as soon as they read their personal evaluations and I got a few semi-nasty responses about the validity of the test. LOL.
Thanks for the stars.
The na•ve reaction of many has absolutely churned up my need to prank the entire site.

Well then, I'm not too embarrassed to ask if you read this to the end, because I explain it all in the last paragraph and the authors notes. But like you, people asked me where I got this and some were offended by NYU putting out a questionnaire like this.
Of course it's BS. I was bored out of my skull and having some fun, and No, it had nothing to do with NYU--I made it all up.
I think people scored themselves and didn't like the grading then quit, but go back and read both the test results for 'F' and the author notes.
Poop, I thought it was funny, but now I'm thinking I can prank the whole community.

No I did not, neither did I read your description. I was half way through before I became suspicious. Sooo clever. Good job. Ever think about taking up political speech writing..lol

You jest, but I have actually written a few corporate speeches for presidents delivering mission statements.
Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
I totally took it. LOL. I like things like this because I like to see how close they get to what I actually am. I don't know if this was really close to who I am but it was a good shot. Great job with this, it was fun :)

As long as you know it was completely bogus, the result of boredom and an allergic reaction to too much editing. It was wonderful fun for me. Thanks for playing.

This was devised creatively, it took some thinking out! You made good use of language in the narrative and descriptions and was an informative project. Most enjoyable. Faye

That's all it was meant for--just fun. I love that you divided it by the square root to come up with an obvious educated solution.
Might I trouble you to ask how you might have scored if you'd taken it to the tenth power? LOL

Hi Ingrid,
definitely (E)
This is a tough one... but
(A) Paris... if I'm going to have a setting I want good food.
You know it's going to be (D)... Life guard... sounds like there's eye candy available... yeah food again.
I'm an (A) type every thing's got to be in order and within reach... does that make me a control freak?
Hey it's Uni... you know it's got to be (E) if it's a good looking female... the food can wait this time.
Yeah, had to consider my answer here... but (C) got to have a good work place environment.
I'd like to say (B) cause that's all there good for... but (E) tickled my fancy.
Did you say prompt? Ah... I feel them coming on already... I mustn't scratch... yeah (D).
(C) why? What did you think I'd say?
(C) but you knew I was going there... didn't you?
WTF? you mean I did this for nothing... what I'm some body's lap dog?
Two lumps with that tea mistress?
Croissant or muffin?
Jam or honey?
With our thoughts we create,
something to do while your waiting for something to do,
James xx

Hi, Spiritual Echo.
What a great bogus survey. This was so much fun to read and very creative. You had me going at the beginning and as I continued to read, I began to wonder. Very well done and very clever!
Bye

Thanks. I was having fun, but some folks... They really thought it was from NYU, despite my final paragraph. Don't think they made it that far.

Pretty clever...I heard your voice in the choices...I did not think it was real, but it was fun. You have a creative mind and that damn procrastination seems to bring our minds to distraction.

Well I was't sure whether or not this acceptance test for NYU writers was in jest nad parody, or whether or not it was serious.
I think I'll vote for parody.

Sure was and was explained in both the last paragraph and authors notes. Thanks for hanging out.
Comment from Donya Quijote
This was fun though I don't believe a word of it. I laughed too as I actually took your test just to see my score. Somehow I fit your A writer but lavender is far from my favorite color and one of poem or short stories would drum up about as much interest in a newspaper as they do here, next to nothing... I always curious so just had to see where it all led. I get the feeling you were either bored and needed to exercise the fingers or you were inspired by those silly personality test in Readers digest. Either way I know you are having fun with this and the responses. Entertaining read...

Gosh, if you'd got past your own test score, it would have all been explained in the last paragraph. Yes, it's bogus. I made it up--Total fiction.
