It's not accurate but then again what is.

Frankly, I don't think that the "test" is particularly accurate ...

One's personal interpretation and the reasons for them have a lot more going into them than this really allows for ... what makes a story participant rank best and worst is really open to interpretation. In no way would I actually put business second in that list in real life, but in terms of the story, the boatman acted in an appropriately businesslike manner (I've heard a version where the story goes "well, L, since you don't have any money, you can sleep with me every night for one week" says the Boatman, which puts an entirely different spin on things.

Ah well.

Are we going to do the walking down the road one next?

M gets some points off for me for not even trying to fix the problem and then being annoyed at the solution.

So we've got a greedy bastard, a homewrecker, a whore, a jealous prat and a tattletale.

What if I think that they all suck?

These brief tests always paint with very broad strokes of the brush. The results are cute, but worthless. There is no exploring the motivations for why one chooses the responses they do. People also seem to tend towards answering what they're "supposed to" more than what they really think.

The test was useless on its own, but it did prompt a very interesting conversation between case and I over why the person representing Love placed at near-opposite ends of the spectrum in our lists. I felt that a lack of clarification in the test implied that she simply took the first option to come along. She felt, for the same reasons, that she *had* no other option.

I guess my point is that this test isn't very good for telling you what kind of person you are, but it is a good way to start exploring the type of person you are.

But more importantly, how do I use this to my advantage, getting laid for example?

Hmmm... I'm not sure I buy their definition of friendship.
