I found this and thought I would share...

The HP Lovecraft Sanity Test http://www.cthulhulives.org/SanQuiz/SaniTest1.html

I am a big H.P Lovecraft fan. He wrote what I think could be considered the original American Pulp Horror. He also did some novels. Some of his work for those not familiar with it has a lot of interesting Mythos associated with it...some of it suoer crazy.

Anyways, there is sort of pop culture of new authors, board games, pc/console games, and roleplaying/host a murder parties that have blossomed over the last three or four decades...alot of his writting tends to revolve around what is real and not...human's place in the universe...and sanity or rather, the lack thereof...

Your score is: 124

For easier understanding, the HPLHS SaniTest assessment algorithm converts your raw score to a scale of 1 to 10. This number is your INSANITY INDEX.

INSANITY INDEX 6.81 Your score suggests that you are what's known as 'bughouse.' That's a colloquial term for madness from a time when people who thought they were crawling with bugs were often correct. In these more hygienic times, it indicates a potentially serious problem. Others who scored at this level include pop star Michael Jackson and Greek philosopher Plato.

The whole deal of referring me to Michael Jackson greatly scares me...

INSANITY INDEX 7.92 Well, that's a pretty high score, although safely away from the really scary end of the madness scale. Your score indicates that you are extremely delirious. You may be ****e to disordered speech, confusion, and paranoid delusions. Notable people who score at this level include actor William Shatner and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop.

Muhahahahaha... :|

INSANITY INDEX 6.95 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). There are regions on the spectrum of human madness that science has yet to penetrate, and you seem to be in one of those regions. You are what mental health professionals call 'crazed.' You might be susceptible to hallucinations, so make sure that the people you are talking to actually exist. Others who scored at this level include former Russian president Boris Yeltsin and domestic mogul Martha Stewart.

Wait until I tell all the other kids in the padded room!

INSANITY INDEX 6.36 Your SaniTest(TM) score suggests that you are haywire. Your neural pathways seem to be oddly short-circuited, which can lead to alarming and/or amusing mishaps. You should be on the lookout for the signs of incipient megalomania, especially if you are the leader of a government. Others who scored at this level include former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher and newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst.

Meh not so bad.....I am kinda haywire and I wouldnt doubt if my neural pathways are pootched. :P

INSANITY INDEX 6.73 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Your score indicates that you are totally unhinged. It seems likely that the rational parts of your mind are completely separated both from your emotions, and from all practical views of reality. You should beware of overreacting to situations, and you might want to get a few opinions before investing in real estate. Others who scored at this level include mime sensations Shields & Yarnell and serial killer Ted Bundy.

Mocking Loudly:

INSANITY INDEX 6.13 This score is solidly in the middle of the spectrum of madness, and it indicates that you are a classic lunatic. Lunatics are often highly functional, and even great achievers. But their personal lives are often left in ruins as they attempt to deal with their antic inner demons. Others who scored at this level include comedian/actor Robin Williams and French philosopher Voltaire.

@Durandal:

Do you think Lovecraft wrote "Pulp" horror stories? With his quality? I think he is more in the tradition of E.A.Poe.

But I have to do this test. Hehe...

Some of his stuff was trully on par with Edgar Allen Poe, but Poe was fairly Victorian to me while in style why Lovecraft had a certain Modern turn of the century thing going. I think a bulk of his shorts were quite pulpy...in a time when no one was doing writing like that. Yeah, I think he started the pulp horror era in the US...

There is a fairly large amount of difference between the two.

Cheers!

Your SaniTest(TM) Results

Your score is: 110
For easier understanding, the HPLHS SaniTest assessment algorithm converts your raw score to a scale of 1 to 10. This number is your INSANITY INDEX.

INSANITY INDEX 5.76 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). Your score suggests that you are psychasthenic. A very interesting condition, it means you lack the capacity to resolve uncertainties, or resist phobias or compulsions even though you know they're irrational. You may have trouble making decisions, or you may find yourself engaging in self-sabotaging behavior. Others who scored at this level include millionaire Howard Hughes and occultist/heretic Giordano Bruno.


I'd say it's pretty close. :roll:

INSANITY INDEX 5.47 There are levels of human madness which no amount of science can ever elucidate. Only poets, only philosophers, many of whom are themselves mad, can offer any insight about such things. Your score indicates that you are on such a level. We can call you brainsick, but only you can make meaning of that term. We can tell you that others who scored at this level include People's Temple leader Jim Jones and existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre.

Nice quiz.

INSANITY INDEX 7.03 Thank you for taking the SaniTest(TM). It's people like you who make this service so worthwhile. You are profoundly crazed. It's a condition usually marked by obsessive behavior coupled with megalomania and a very short temper. Potential advantages are that you can get a lot done, but drawbacks include profound alienation. Other notable people who scored at this level include Libyan head of state Moammar Khadaffi and Star Trek creator Gene Rodenberry


Hrmm... Me and Khadaffi, huh...[/code]
