I was recently at Everything and Nothing, and noticed that Shawn had taken The Unexamined Life Test.
Poor Shawn. She only scored 53% (that's an "F", isn't it?). She must have been having a bad day. It did say she is 99% self aware, so I guess that's a bit of balm on the wound.
I decided that I, self-examiner and autoflaggelator that I am would do pretty well.
Here's how it came out:
"Your score: oblivious"
I am 26% self-aware.
and:
"you scored higher than 0% on self-awareness."
OK, it would be pretty hard to score lower that 0%, n'est-ce pas?
I have to say, in my own defense, that there were no good fits to the choices of answers after any of the questions. Of course, I knew which the touchy-feely "right answers" were, but didn't select them.
Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. I guess this confirms that mine might not be either.
However, I have no intention of taking hemlock, as he does in this painting by Jacques-Louis David.
