I love internet tests!

I got 35...

You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

This is serious, by the way.

hmm 19 and i m an average user too, but they say average starts with 20.

Hang on, whoa whoa whoa.

What's this "offline" stuff?

You've heard of a past realm of elves *Sighs sadly*, dragons, fairies and sorcerery, right?

Its like that, except with crazy people and wars without points where the enemy cheats and hacks like hell.

Don't worry little one, you won't have to ever fenture out there!

Took this about a year ago. Don't remember the exact score, but it was the "average online user"....I think things have changed a bit since then...we'll see

...but I'm not taking the test during work hours, hehe.

64
You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

lol 17 here. but the entire test sounds like it's intended for modem users,
those of us that are always online and with fixed rates tend to be "on" more frequently but shorter length of time each "session".

I definetly should have had like 70+ on this test, but instead I ended up with 17, due to all the no comply, just shows the test is flawed.

As a test, choose 5 on the first two questions, then no comply on all the rest. you end up with a score of 10.
Which is wrong, this test lacks modifiers to the questions that's added if there is a no-comply etc.

Let's see, I got 17. let me see if I can re-calculate this properly.
My 17 with weight modifiers should really be ah 37.7 is my final score. hmm tought it would have been higher. hmmmm.

Here's how to correct all that no comply stuff.

Count how many answers you DID answer on.
In my case I answered on 9 and had 11 no-comply.
Do this math:

20 / number of answers = modifier

result * modifer = actual result.

In my case I answered 9 questions (the other 11 was no comply, thus 0)
and got a score of 17, so:

20 / 9 = 2.2222222222222222222222222222222

17 * 2.2222222222222222222222222222222 = 37.777777777777777777777777777774

Naturally, since most (conciesouly (sp?) or not) tend to pick on average one answer lower than it really is. (one rarly feel one overdo anything your self.
So myself I add this to the new answer.
37.777777777777777777777777777774 + 20 = 57.777777777777777777777777777774

Which puts me in the 50 -79 points: You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life.

Which sounds more believable as I'm a heavy "netter".
Or rather, I spend more time with my computer than I do wit the net so, this test isn't really that valid for me lol

For you math buffs here is the formula:

(score * (20 / number of answered questions) ) + 20 = final score

Naturally this formula isn't perfect as those that answer 5 on all questions end up way above 100 but heh. THAT may be accurate as well lol...

Check this link, I modified/improved the test.
it now has modifiers to compensate in the cases where no comply is used
so that the weight of answers vs number of questions is still there.
I also added answer emphasis due to human self image nature,
also a slight shift of result bias, pluss I added a lil surprise hehe...

Okay!!!

Sure... so originally I got a 38 which says "You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage." But thanks to gridfan I got a 54 "You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the Internet. You should consider their full impact on your life." Now to be honest I am going to do some math here... this may hurt...

But I figure that I lay inbetween the two, so I'm going to take the average of the two scores (38+54 divided by two) and get 46. Then I am going to multiply this by .5 to give myself a margin of error of 5 percent thus making this score and then add and subtract that to both sides giving me a range of 23-69 which is more reasonable. Only because there are some days I don't want to go online and other times I do.

And this may make no sense what so ever it's just appearing my damn happy heart because I'm soo wired into the net, I see the code pass through me and feel it in my fingers :-P
