The Humor Test

1. I turned out to be a Prankster type.

   Higher than 16% on dark
   Higher than 8% on spontaneous
   Higher than 50% on vulgar

   Woo!

2. the Ham

   (26% dark, 52% spontaneous, 16% vulgar)
   your humor style:
   CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | LIGHT

   Your style’s mostly goofy, innocent and feel-good. Perfect for parties and for the dads who chaperone them. You can actually get away with corny jokes, and I bet your sense of humor is a guilty pleasure for your friends. People of your type are often the most approachable and popular people in their circle. Your simple & silly good-naturedness is immediately recognizable, and it sets you apart in this sarcastic world.

   Damn, that’s wrong in so may ways…

3. I would post my results, but they’re almost exactly the same as David’s, and just as wrong (except for the corny jokes part; I can actually get away with those), so I figure it would just be redundant.

4. The Wit: (69% dark, 34% spontaneous, 22% vulgar); Clean, Complex and Dark.

   That’s actually pretty accurate.

5. I was “the wit” too: (65% dark, 30% spontaneous, 22% vulgar)

   I was kinda hoping for the idiot savant… 😀

6. Ah, nothing like cats in distress. I adore OKCupid.

7. I was a Wit.

8. I was a twit. Er, wit, yes. 0% vulgar; I simply don’t believe it.

9. Wit as well: 65% dark, 30% spontaneous, 22% vulgar. Nice to be in the majority for once… why am I not surprised that no one around here’s into the vulgar humor?

10. Apparently I’m the most “vulgar”.

12. I think I should have scored higher on vulgarity, considering the kinds of remarks I make on a regular basis. The sign for me that I’m on the right track is if I can make my boyfriend blush — most of the time he’s worse than me.

13. Just found your site through Sokol. Thanks for being another sane mind in the middle of Indiana.

14. My scores were almost exactly the same as Lauren’s, only I’m apparently more vulgar. It seems like the quiz construes vulgarity pretty narrowly: “Jackass” and “American Pie” being the operational definitions. I consider myself pretty damn vulgar in my sense of humor (my best friend says I have the mind of a 12 year old boy), but I also appreciate more snarky/brainy humor, so … maybe the quiz doesn’t know where to put us!

15. Hmm. I’m not sure if the software worked right for me. The initial part came out OK:
    the Wit
    (52% dark, 39% spontaneous, 11% vulgar)
    your humor style:
    CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

    But adjusted for my ange and gender:
    You scored higher than 99% on dark
    You scored higher than 99% on spontaneous
    You scored higher than 99% on vulgar

    Really???

16. Actually, I’ll bet I’m his only data point for my age and gender (or maybe 1 of 2).

17. I’m not sure my results are valid. Two of the questions asked you to pick which movie of a list of four was prefered. The problem was I hadn’t seen any of them in either list, so I couldn’t answer those. Oh, well. I came out as a prankster, clean/complex/light. BTW, speaking of cultural illiteracy, what is “Jackass”?

18. Jackass, according to the wikipedia, “is a half-hour television series, originally shown on MTV and first produced in 1999 in which a group of grown men do various humiliating, dangerous and/or ridiculous stunts of senseless stupidity for fun. Its target audience is mainly boys, especially teens. The show ran for three seasons, the first episode aired on April 12, 2000 and the 25th and final episode aired on February 17, 2002. It was followed by the 2002 feature film, Jackass: The Movie, which was essentially an extended, uncensored episode of the TV show. The show was created by Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, and Jeff Tremaine.”

19. My favorite Jackass stunt was the California bobsled.

20. This test is wrong. It said I don’t have a vulgar sense of humor. I have the dictionary definition of a vulgar sense of humor. I just prefer to mix it up with some cleverness.

21. 99% in everything? I HATE aptitude tests. Now I don’t know which kind of joke to make! I’m Ham if you haven’t figured it out.

23. Prankster here (0% dark, 99% spontaneous, 0% vulgar). An intellectual prankster, so it said !

24. BlogAlice-

    Ricky Gervais is one of the masterminds behind the absofuckinglutely brilliant BBC comedy The Office.

    not in any way shape or form to be confused with its pathetic US clone, thank you so very much.

    .

    Ms. Lauren-

    why do you promote these infernal tests?! it gave me some silly low percentage for vulgarity – which is a big pile of steaming farty bollocks! i’ve made nine year olds blush! i’ve been fired from greasy spoons for “foul language”! OK?!

    OK, then. just so that’s clear.

    “The Wit,” indeed!

25. Something wrong here. It scored me low in vulgarity. My mother once gave me a farting killer whale as a present because she knew I’d appreciate it.

26. I had a similar problem to Dianne; there was only one movie on each list that I’d seen, so in each case I was obliged to pick the movie I’d actually seen. I have no idea whether they would have been my real favorite movies, if I’d actually seen the others.

27. the Wit
    (69% dark, 34% spontaneous, 5% vulgar)
    your humor style:
    CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARK

    You like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you’re probably an intellectual, but don’t take that to mean you’re pretentious. You realize ‘dumb’ can be witty–after all isn’t that the Simpsons’ philosophy?–but rudeness for its own sake, ‘gross-out’ humor and most other things found in a fraternity leave you totally flat.

    I guess you just have a more cerebral approach than most. You have the perfect mindset for a joke writer or staff writer. Your sense of humor takes the most effort to appreciate, but it’s also the best, in my opinion.
