INSANITY INDEX 6.58 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Your score suggests that you are completely unbalanced. This is not a terribly serious condition, and can even be rather charming if not mixed with a violent temper or serious subtance abuse problem. Others who scored at this level include publisher Larry Flynt and famed explorer Ferdinand Magellan.

As a battered and scar'd veteran of p&p Call of Cthulhu, I know the only thing to do with an old abandoned anything, is dynamite it. The most useful thing to have is bazooka. And that escapeing from a giant squid is trickyer than it sounds.

INSANITY INDEX 6.36 Your SaniTest(TM) score suggests that you are haywire. Your neural pathways seem to be oddly short-circuited, which can lead to alarming and/or amusing mishaps. You should be on the lookout for the signs of incipient megalomania, especially if you are the leader of a government. Others who scored at this level include former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher and newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst.

INSANITY INDEX 6.28 This is a very special score. Although the SaniTest(TM) cannot provide you with a specific diagnosis, this score just reaches the level commonly referred to as 'certifiable.' This means that your family and/or loved ones, if you have any, would be able to have you legally locked away in an asylum at a moment's notice in order to gain access to your money, your possessions, or just out of revenge for all the annoying things you do. Others who scored at this level include novelist James Joyce, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, and none other than HP Lovecraft.

I win!

INSANITY INDEX 6.43 Your SaniTest(TM) score indicates that you are utterly haywire. Your neural circuitry seems to be badly misfiring, with frightening and/or hilarious effects. You may find yourself capable of superhuman strength as a side effect, but don't count on it. Others who scored at this level include entertainer Wayne Newton and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.

INSANITY INDEX 5.02 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). It's actually somewhat impressive that you made it all the way through the test, because your score indicates that you are pixilated. Not a computer term, it implies a very short attention span and questionable judgement, subject to whimsical flights of fancy, daydreaming, and elaborate half-baked schemes which usually end in complete disaster. Others who scored at this level include actress/writer Shirley Maclaine and baseball star Sammy Sosa.

INSANITY INDEX 6.73 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Your score indicates that you are totally unhinged. It seems likely that the rational parts of your mind are completely separated both from your emotions, and from all practical views of reality. You should beware of overreacting to situations, and you might want to get a few opinions before investing in real estate. Others who scored at this level include mime sensations Shields & Yarnell and serial killer Ted Bundy.

"6.73"? How can 6.73 be higher but Zelk's 6.28 gets her certifiable?

Burnination for all Lovecraftians! *overreacts*

Most useful thing to have is definitely a blowtorch. I mean come on... it's instant burnination in a stick.

" this score just reaches the level commonly referred to as 'certifiable.' " -- so you're crazier than the base minimum to become certifiable.

I didn't need a test to know you were certifiable

Burning zombies just mean you catch fire when they grab you.

Shoggoths dont burn, but the building your hiding from one in, does.

Firepower is more useful than fire.

Although I'd always trade both in for a trusty comrade, who was a slower runner.

INSANITY INDEX 8.29 According to SaniTest(TM) assessment algorithms, you appear to be a maniac. Although this can be a debilitating condition, many maniacs live successful and highly productive, if sometimes brief, lives. Some other noted maniacs include computer innovator Steve Jobs, freestyle skier Jonny Mosely, and hedonistic publisher Hugh Hefner.

Sanity is for the weak.

INSANITY INDEX 5.54 Your score falls solidly in the middle of the spectrum of madness, and it suggests that you may be hebephrenic, a condition marked by silliness, delusions, hallucinations, and puerile behavior. While not usually dangerous, it can be annoying as hell to those around you. Others who scored at this level include Joan of Arc and French philosopher Albert Camus.

Wjut? (?)

INSANITY INDEX 5.61 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Your score suggests that you are schizothymic. While not as serious as schizophrenia, it means you may be subject to excessive introversion, paranoia, and morbid fantasy. Others who scored at this level include actor Nick Nolte and renaissance thinker Sir Francis Bacon.

wow these tests are accurate.

Wait, what?
PW's a (near-)norm? This test can't be right.
