Those questions are batshit crazy!!!!!

And I don't mean that in the figure of speech sense - I mean it in the St Elizabeth's Hospital sense!

Like this doozy:

TWO.

a. You are the minority in this world.

b. You indirectly work for evil forces.

Who the hell thinks they "work for evil forces" - except for that homeless man on the corner who has perfectly rational conversations WITH THE LAMPPOST!

And some of these questions have two extremes that are just too out there:

SIX.

a. You will stand your ground no matter what.

b. You will kill your brothers.

SEVEN.

a. You don’t worship a female’s booty.

b. You will do anything for money, even if it’s having sex with another man.

How about C - NONE OF THE ABOVE!

Who the hell wrote this crap?

I LOVE these quizzes! Thanks, Amanda, you run a great blog. It turns out, that in spite of my gender (XY), I'm a fake woman! Also our dog is fake man, but I guess that was obvious.

I mean it about the blog--well done.

I hate how people think they can decide when somebody else is a real person or not or fit into their gender category based on a couple of superficial questions that all have limited choices and have a bias and agenda behind them.

I don't know how educational that would be - they sound like some very judgmental "holier than thou" people who would write questions like
Are you:
A: A volunteer who contribute to society everyday for the benefit of mankind
B: A selfish loser who deserves to die

Question 12! Just to clarify, the "extremes" established by this quiz come from fliers passed out outside the Metro attempting to educate riders about which men and women are "real" and which are "fake." The flier on women states that "fake" women are "unclean," promiscuous, used up, and probably single mothers. The one on men states that "fake" men are ones who LIKE fake women---or as the author likes to call them, "ungodly whores that are only beautiful on the outside but are full of worms in the inside." You should refer back to the literature, it's very educational.

What? Where did that come from? And who were talking about women?

Yeah, I think as long as you know, deep down, that most women are ungodly whores that are only beautiful on the outside but are full of worms in the inside, you can sneak past as "real"

Most of the questions I'd fit somewhere in the middle, so I wasn't able to select A or B. But if I was to rate myself, I'd rate myself 60% real, 40% fake.

Are you fake or are you REAL, Ambiance?

One of the worst quizzes ever - most of the questions are two extremes that most people wouldn't fit in
