Goth-Friendly Test

This occured to me while returning home late last night. It may have had something to do with that carload of idiots which passed me.

This is basically a test to determine how well you get along with goths. Note: this is not intended for goths. A sample population of goths would not be statistically valid, as it is beyond the scope of the questionnaire, and would very likely lead to innacurate or misleading results1. If you are a goth, you should be taking the Normal-Friendly Test.

Consider this either tounge-in-cheek or bitter-and-angry, depending on your point of view.

The rules are: Choose the one which best applies to you

  1. You are driving and see a pack of goths crossing the road. You have the right of way. Do you:
    1. Slow down and wave them on?
    2. Slow down and honk your horn or shout at them?
