MiSTie Test

After having finally taken T-Bone's Nerd Test and Laurie Cubbison's Egghead test, I decided to come up with a test of my own. The scoring here is similar to the other two tests, except that your final score is not a percentage, you can even end up with a negative score. Every "yes" answer awards you with a point, unless I specify otherwise. I was going to have a scale for you to judge your score with, but decided to let you figure it our on your own. If you don't understand a question, or part of a question, skip it. If you think there's something wrong with the way a question is asked, subtract 5 points and go to the next question. My thanks to Erin and Petrea for their help. Enjoy.
