Well, the results for me were pretty varied!

The first one said 87 :|

The US one said 74 :(

The Brit version said 61 :shock: :oops:

Not sure what you can read into that, except that these questionnaires are a bit suspect and I probably should drink a bit less :wink:


You love the 'Currently Playing, Currently Drinking' thread too much to give up the alcohol :wink:

However it seems total bollox to me. Two of many possible examples;

1. I've already had a heart attack but it doesn't factor that in, since it didn't ask.

2. It asked about chlorestorol levels, but it stopped there. My last test was way below 4, but that is only due to the help of statins. In my "glory saturated fat eating days" prior to statin treatment it was way above 7.

Clearly pa posted this for titillation as like all of us he knows that such quick superficial tests are unreliable/meaningless. However, in my view this particular test is far far far dodgier than other similar rapid tests which at least ask better questions. My own GP several years ago had a new life prediction toy, which he tried out on me. (can't remember what the result was).

BTW, although he has a good sense of humour, I don't think that he is fekdrink as he doesn't seem to give quite so high a priority to feeling female breasts to determine whether or not implants are leaking as our fiso colleague has done recently.

If you go back to the link, open it and click on 'Important Notice - Read Before You Start' that will give you a clue as to the accuracy of the test. :wink:

Dunno about Jack, but that's summed me up perfectly.

It is a ridiculous test, not exactly serious is it as it asks:

Do you own any firearms? (If you say yes then the test probably assumes you might kill yourself)

Do you like meeting strangers? (If you say yes it assumes you will either be murdered or catch HIV)
