seethingheathenI cannot sleep. Even after employing proven relaxation techniques.
My score is eight, so I'm safe!
Section 1 -- The Name Game
Is your name a more unusual spelling of a more common name or word? [0]
Is your name unusual in another way? [1]
A female with a male-sounding name? [0]
A name your chose for yourself, because you thought it was more cool-sounding? [0]
A noun or adjective not normally used for a name? [0]
Were you named after a character in a book? [0]
Do you have a really sweet (possibly sickeningly so) nickname that others call you by? (Like Mitzy, or Muffin, Kitten, etc.) [1] (Sonsy, lol)
Section Two -- Physical Attributes
Do you look like you are in your teens/early twenties for no apparent reason? [1]
Are you (or do you consider yourself) beautiful or roguishly handsome? [0]
Do many people find you attractive? [0]
Do others see you as a threat because of this? [0]
Do you have unusual eye color? [0]
Do you fit a particular stereotype? (Ie, a tall blonde Californian who surfs, a New Yorker with big hair and thick accent who chews gum a lot, etc.) [1]
Section Three -- Personal Traits
Were you adopted or live with people who were not your biological parents while growing up? [0]
Did you have a tragic youth? (For this, read abuse, neglect, abandonment, sexual trauma, second- or third-class cultural status, slavery, extreme poverty, forced criminality, or being the sole survivor of any calamity.) [0] (Add an extra point for rape or other sexual abuse.)
Do you suffer from guilt for something you did in the past? [1]
Do your friends constantly try to tell you it was not your fault? [0]
Did you have an unusual birth? [1]
Do you have a twin or close sibling of the same gender? [0]
Do you have a very good singing voice? [0]
Or play a musical instrument amazingly well? [0]
The guitar or flute, for instance? [0]
Do you make more wise-cracks than any three Disney side-kicks? [0]
Do most people end up liking you? [0]
Section Four -- Super Powers
Do you believe you are one of the Fay? (elves, faeries, etc.) [0]
Are you telepathic or telekinetic? (between twins counts) [1] (This one is going to be hard to explain without sounding like a lunatic.)
Do you just "know" things for no apparent reason? [0]
Do animals (especially fuzzy ones) instinctively like you? [1] (Take away two points if the only animals that like you are non-butterfly insects and crawly lizard-types.)
Section Five -- The Real World And You
Would you like to be friends with yourself if you met someone exactly like you in real life? [0]
If someone tells you he/she doesn't like you, do you take it as a personal attack on you? [0]
Has anyone ever told you you act JUST like a character they read about in a book? [0]
Section Six -- The Fiendish Plot
Have you ever managed to develop a friendship with an otherwise villainous person, and through this friendship, reform that person? [0]
Do you wish you could be transformed because of the neat powers? [0]
Do you tend to save the day and/or other people's lives? [0]
Possible Points: 47 (assuming some questions obviate the rest)
Preliminary testing suggests the following basic scoring scheme:
0-10 You seem to be your own person, a very unlikely Mary Sue.
11-20 Borderline. People in this range are potential MS's, who can go either way dependent on your own choices.
20+ Mary Sue/Gary Stu. Proceed with greatest caution.
35+ Consider your actions. Please.
My score is eight, so I'm safe!
