First-hand accounts from firefighters who were at ground zero on 9/11. I haven't even got the words. I've managed to read a few of them... some pretty powerful narratives. Damn.

Dante's Inferno updated test

I scored:

Second Level of Hell

You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.


take the test here

Ding,Ding, 5th level, watch your step please.
The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx.

Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis
You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.
Move outta the way of those stairs Bruce. I gotta go down one.

I'm right there with you Novice in the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis. I think my favorite question was A pimp is a good thing to be, True or False. I was tempted to answer True just for the hell of it.

Third Level of Hell

In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws.

Hey, my level has a puppy!!

That same site has a Personality Disorder Test

It thinks I'm paranoid and narcissistic.

I think people are out to get me, but I'm so cool I deserve their attention, I guess ...

Apparently I'm histrionic and narcissistic.

I demand attention and *know* that I deserve it.

Sixth Circle, land of the heretics. I expect lots of company.

(I also got Very High for Gluttonous, Wrathful and Gloomy and Fraudulent/Malicious/Panderers, and High for Lust and Treacherous. Woohoo!)

I'm on Dis as well, with Wrath/Gloomy and gluttony as runners up. I'm a bit surprised at the second one.

I've got moderate Schizoid, Schizotypal, Avoidant, and Obsessive-Compulsive traits, too. No surprises.
