Likeability Meter

Dear you,

hope you won't get weird about this one. I've been thinking for a long while that most people generally screw up in their relationship and friendship thingies because of two reasons. I'll talk about one of them now. That is, we tend to have the totally wrong screening process for selecting the people we like. Particularly, if you think you like someone just because they look good, ain't that a grand fallacy?

I screwed up a number of times. And I didn't want to anymore. So, I devise this rather interesting idea of a short and well thought-out questionnaire for girls so I'll know what they are and how much I'll probably like them in the long run. I made this small multiple choice questionnaire when I had a little free time and this was supposed to be my likeability meter. Although the test is designed for girls, I let a number of guys take it too (given the greater availability of male variables in my sample space). In the sample screenings people have done for me I find interesting observations. Some of my better friends at IIT Madras have done quite well. However, the least was by a girl that I rather respect and the third best was by a girl who I thought was a little too kiddish. Given these two aberrations, most people I really like a lot have gotten a 70 kinda score (on 100). My pal since second standard put 85 and my best friend hit a whopping 95!

Well, It was fun while it lasted and I don't think I'll put fight to make the meter more correlative to the actual likeabilities. Anyhow, you can take this test if you please and hey, tell me the score.

1)Shah Rukh Khan
a) is awesome!
b) is pointless
c) is okay sometimes

2)'funny' is
a) a pejorative (negative) term
b) a nuetral term
c) a compliment

b) important
c) god!

4) Ideal time spent (you need to remember you seldom can do the ideal)
a) Rain, coffee and book
b) Sitcom, potatochips and a cuddly plaything
c) Sleep in bliss

5) Say, you don't have a boyfriend (guys, consider the appropriate terms)
a) I want my prince
b) All guys are jerks!
c) Is this question necessary at all?

6) Hugs
a) are always great
b) are nice with friends
c) make me uncomfortable

7) Old beggar says he is hungry
a) buy him grub
b) give him some cash
c) ask him to buzz off

8) I (as in you, my letter reader)
a) can look good
b) can look horrible
c) look pretty normal

a) like to get pampered by my dad
b) like to get pampered by my mom
c) I don't like to get pampered

10) I
a) laugh so much
b) am often sober
c) am quite happy

The scores go as follows

1) a-0 b-5 c-10
2) a-0 b-5 c-10
3) a-0 b-5 c-10 and you get a -5 if you chose none
4) a-10 b-0 c-5
5) a-5 b-0 c-10
6) (girls) a-0 b-10 c-5 | (guys) a-5 b-10 c-0
7) a-10 b-5 c-0
8) a-5 b-5 c-10 and the you a 15 if you chose all
9) a-5 b-5 c-10
10)a-5 b-5 c-10

There you have it. And hey, I must again remind you this is one badly flawed test. So,if you didn't do well and you don't like it, I'd like you for that too.

Love,
Prathyush.

P.S: Feedback is welcome. It's my life after all!
