I've taken that test before, ita. It's VERY WEIRD. Also not very believable, since the outcome claims I'm far more confident than I am.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy cake, Amy!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I've owned 5 cars in 25 years, so I suppose I'm on target for 10-12 in my lifetime.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the point of the test is to escalate feelings of paranoia and anxiety, and it's pretty good at it. That or my two cups of green tea and lingering headache and upcoming block of con calls.

Because books.
My results were fairly accurate, I thought. Also a little disturbing, though.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
If I count cars I've driven for extended periods of time, then it's way more than 12. Actual ownership brings the number down significantly.
Driven:
- 1985 Porsche 944 - first car (my father was going through a mid-life crisis the same year I turned 16)
- 1988 Ford Tempo - hand-me-down from Mom (transmission blew in December 1996)
- 1997 Ford Contour - worst car I ever owned. Sold it to my uncle in 2001, who didn't care how noisy it was.
- 2001 Acura 3.2 CL- leased while I was a consultant for Honda. Nothing spectacular and I turned it in as scheduled at the end of the lease.
- 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Cadillac DeVille - company car
- 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 GMC Yukon XL Denali - company car
- 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 Cadillac DTS - company car
- 2005 Cadillac SRX - leased, driven by DH, not worth the money and expensive to repair
- 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid - company car
- 2010 GMC Yukon Denali Hybrid - company car
- 2011 GMC Yukon Denali Hybrid - company car
- 2010 Cadillac SRX - bought it off lease from the program I run for when I lose my company car with the job change
Actually owned:
- 1997 Ford Contour
- 2001 Acura 3.2 CL
- 2005 Cadillac SRX
- 2010 Cadillac SRX
- 2000 Isuzu Rodeo (DH's so it might not really count)
- 2007 Chevrolet Suburban (DH's so it might not really count)
God, I am a conspicuous consumer of vehicles if you count the company cars.
Happy birthday, Amy!
FTR, I hate allergies. I look like Rudolph right now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the point of the test is to escalate feelings of paranoia and anxiety, and it's pretty good at it
I'd be more convinced if the results didn't read so much like a horoscope.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Well heck. I'm showered and he still didn't call. What do I have to do? Drive to the store, buy some cigs and light up? Geeeeesh, dude. I know you have an iPhone, just pop me a note and tell me you are too busy or something. Acknowledge me!

I think the most important thing on that page is the ominously worded contact us language. The actual summation of your personality? Less than the throbbing lights and impossible questions.

My results were fairly accurate, I thought. Also a little disturbing, though.
My results indicated that I am Sheldon Cooper. Which is just about right.
Also, I think I am a giant red Star Trek-shaped symbol.
