I think we all do, but we just don't wanna admit it.

Anyway, I found this test, so we should all take it and share our results, and then comment on the veracity of the results and the bias of the test and the way it could be improved...and some of us should just refuse to take the test because it's stupid.

according to the test


I have issues with...
gender
heredity
violence
dishonesty
submission

I think some of that is reflective of my attitude today.....

your turn.

First word has the longest delay, which implies a bias that doesn't exist.

Since my first word was Children it says I have issues with it. I like kids, as long as they're reasonably well behaved.

discipline
submission
patience
innocence
children

i don't know why i have issues with innocence and children, and i think i'm a patient guy, but i can understand the first one, and i guess i like to be dominant more than i like to be submissive.

I have issues with...
genetics
porn
mirror
ghosts
sex

those were all because I delayed in answering, I think, since I didn't realise it was timed. I don't see how some of them can be positive or negative. I stalled on ambivalence too, and was very tempted to answer positive. :P

edit - I suppose two of them are fairly accurate though :p

Lame! You have an issue with something if you take longer than 4 seconds to decide if something is good, bad or whatever?

I do not have issues with the paranormal. I was distracted. That's all. :mad:

PLEASE WAIT
WHILE YOUR TEST RESULTS
ARE BEING PROCESSED.

^ I apparently have issues with that. No seriously, it's not going away. I'll try it on Mozilla instead.

Smunkee, I thought you were leaving NS… like, two years ago?

How that test is supposed to show anything beyond your mouse skills is beyond me.

Waiting… waiting…

what the fuck, it's been processing for about five minutes.

Waiting… waiting…

what the fuck, it's been processing for about five minutes.I think we just NSG-DOSed the site... c.c

and some of us should just refuse to take the test because it's stupid. Well, I *did* take it but I still think it's a tad stupid ;) because it doesn't even look at what you say, just at how long it takes you to say it.

So the 5 words where I took the longest to click anything are then the ones I "have issues with":

I have issues with...
women
excess
money
patience
fame

Nevermind that in any longer sequence of words that you're trying to go through really fast you're always going to have some where your concentration flags.

Smunkee, I thought you were leaving NS… like, two years ago?
I left last year for a few months.....

I will probably leave again (or claim that I am leaving again) soon since people are pissing me off this month......

my issues (took it twice, second time on random, cos i didn't realise it was timed and was having a conversation while doing it first time...)

failure
sadness
accident
excess
identity
history
power
pain
drama

submission
fame
domination
religion
excess

Hmph.

First word has the longest delay, which implies a bias that doesn't exist.

I noticed that my longest delay time fell on the worst that have the most different meanings.

For instance, "children" pretty much refers to one thing: children. But "fall" could refer to a season, or falling down the stairs, or a metaphorical fall (i.e. "fall from grace"), or "falling" in love, etc etc etc. I was consciously aware I paused longer on such words, because I had to run through all the possible meaning and generate what I felt was the net response to them.

I have issues with
submission
work
age
walls
excess

interesting

anxiety
fame
broken
disease
selflessness

... Whatever.

I found that too, on words like "submission" and "discipline" I paused to think about what they may mean, and what they mean to me versus what they mean to society at large.......

anyway, yeah.

:p that's hilarious to me.

I smiled too. :p

I have issues with
submission


:p that's hilarious to me.

I have issues with...
state
money
forget
age
weather

How odd... ^_^

Heh. Gender didn't come up on my list. I therefore dub this quiz "silly".

I have issues with

misfortune
children
ambivalence
poor
theft

Sounds about right, though I had to pause before reacting neutrally to ambivalence.

*frown*

i took the test, got the results page and my results are blank. in the "i have issues with" box there is nothing.

"ANSWER DELAY MAY CORRESPONDS TO ISSUES WITH THAT WORD"

A lot of effort went into making that test...

I have issues with love and trusting the other person. I've been hurt too much.

I have technical issues.

I tried taking the test but I the colours distracted me and all teh choices so I just clicked random buttons...

memory- Er, no.
family- Yes, most definately, like a great percentage of ppl.
immortality- same as above.
children- Not really. I don't want them or like them, but it doesn't mean I have an issue with them.
water- WTF?

I have issues with...
love
father
crush
fast
work

Meh.

I have issues with...
age
selflessness
mirror
travel
water

I think this test has issues with accuracy...

It probably should say that I have issues with sex and love or something like that, but it doesn't because it took less than a second to characterize sex as negative and 1.38 seconds to characterize love as negative.

Hehe, its based purely on reaction time. Doesn't say what kind of "issues" those may be so the test is hugely general.

mine were:

fall
state
destiny
excess
power

Fall ranks highest - I spent a few seconds wondering whether they meant "To fall" or "The Fall" as whether I think those are positive or negative could have had vastly different outcomes. (ranked positive)

state - again, state as in The State or state meaning the state of something, hot, cold, upsidedown etc. (neutral)

destiny - I dont believe in destiny so I had to think whether I viewed it as negative or positive before hitting neutral

excess - didnt think I took long on that but I marked negative

power - I had to think a little before ranking it as a positive thing, without power (political or energy) we would accomplish little.

all in all I dont think anyone should read too much into that test, if anything at all beyond "its a bit of fun". :)

I have issues with:

forget
weakness
sacrifice
honesty
patience

My fastest ones were future, wealth, excess, and pleasure.

I'm a greedy, obsequious coward...sounds about right.

Apparently I have issues with walls, discipline, submission, society and fame. Weird.

Fall ranks highest - I spent a few seconds wondering whether they meant "To fall" or "The Fall" as whether I think those are positive or negative could have had vastly different outcomes. (ranked positive)
Yeah, I had that problem too. Eventually decided that in either case it's neutral.

I also apparently have issues with innocence, domination, poor and age. But not paranormal. Response time for 'age': 1.87 seconds. Response time for 'paranormal': 1.86 seconds...

I have issues with:

bigotry
religious fundamentalism
outdated tradition
consumerism
insects
the dark
God, or perhaps the Evil Genius, if you subscribe to that philosophy

Ah, there is a link. A test. Here I was going to list my actual problems. Too bad. :p

Ok, so the test:

I have issues with...
mother
fall
ambivalence
immortality
anxiety

I have issues with...
drugs
power
paranormal
fast
future

Interesting..

I have issues with...
travel
family
discipline
fame
excess


I dont get to travel enough
I am not very close with my family
I have no discipline
I would hate to be famous
and I dont have enough excess

I have issues with...
age
family
children
submission
work
Issues with Famliy thats not a big surprise

Things to do, life to live, no time or room for "issues."

I have issues with...

crush; I'm a Romantic failure.

temporary; I'll be damned if I'm not leaving a permanent reminder of me behind.

sacrifice; Not my thing, and those who are self-sacrificing annoy me.

weather; god knows why, probably because I'm English.

heredity; I understood it as a typo.

memory
selfishness
excess
domination
fall

I can tell you why I took the longest on these... I had to look and see what the non-nuetral buttons were...

It seems that it should pick up on the fact I put murder, family, father, and mother in nuetral, but power, sex, porn, and money in the positive....
