Punctuation Mark Test

[celesul]

Which punctuation mark are you? You can take the test here http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=9611125433033087547

Your Score: ellipsis

You scored 38% Sociability and 76% Sophistication!

Your life can be difficult because of your insecurities, but you should know that it isn't your fault. YOU didn't ask to be thrown in around thirty times per page in every bodice-ripper on the shelf! Those who overuse you can kiss your . . . you know. You need to learn to hold your head high and glory in your solitude. You really do have excellent, scholarly tastes. You must never forget that your friend, the period, will be there to support you at the end of every sentence where you truly belong, and, if what is left out is as important as what is said, why, then you are as vital as the alphabet!

[libertarianjim]

Ellipsis here too.

[cryokinetic]

You are the semicolon! You are the highest expression of punctuation; no one has more of a right to be proud. In the hands of a master, you will purr, sneering at commas, dismissing periods as beneath your contempt. You separate and connect at the same time, and no one does it better. The novice will find you difficult to come to terms with, but you need no one. You are secure in your elegance, knowing that you, and only you, have the power to mark the skill or incompetence of the craftsman. You have no natural enemies; all fear you. And never, NEVER let anyone tell you that you cannot appear in dialogue!

15 % sociability 70% sophistication

Btw, whot's an ellipsis?

[Niffer]

hmm..

(exclamation point)
You scored 61% Sociability and 52% Sophistication!

Yes, you are fine around others. Fine. But you wish you could have just a *little* more alone time. Okay, well, a lot more alone time. In fact, you'd be happier if you didn't have to go out nearly as much. You get along very well with the period, who tries mightily to take up as much of the load as he can. But fools will not listen. You want to scream, "Cut it out, for the love of Safire!" But, all of that notwithstanding, you do your duty. And, if sometimes you feel like a Chicago street hooker, you also remember that you really do have an important role to play. Your soul remains pure. Hold your head high!

Thank you. I never knew that thing I overuse to the point of absurdity actually had a name. See, English majors have many (well-hidden prolly) talents and expertise. Kinda like us Ed/Psy people, too. esoterica

[Anonymous]

Haha bitches, I'm the only parenthesis so far.

Your Score: Parenthesis
You scored 30% Sociability and 29% Sophistication!

You enclose and envelope life, as well as things that aren't vital to the main topic. You are something of a loner and take pleasure in the simple things in life. You are uncomplicated for the most part, and don't need anyone (though you are strangely attracted to LISP programmers). The apostrophe is your natural enemy. You like periods (and commas), but tend to keep them somewhat outside.


Wait a minute... only 29% sophistication?? :mad: Ah well, "sophisticated" is usually related to "old" anyway.

You scored 0% Sociability and 52% Sophistication!

There's no denying that you have a certain flair. You don't mind being around others, especially your little brother, the hyphen, but you rarely emerge except when needed. You respond well to those who know how to treat you, but have only contempt for those who don't--you tend to embarass them every chance you get. Your only enemy is the colon--he will sometimes try to move in on your turf.

I'm keeping an eye on you semi's.

[Takaa]

Your Score: quotation marks
You scored 69% Sociability and 70% Sophistication!

There is a lot more to you than meets the eye. You certainly get plenty of "action," but you'd be happier if those who lusted after you were more selective. You hate being used as a general intensifier; haven't these people ever heard of underlining? Italics? And yes, you remember the cruel words Mr. Joyce directed at you. But you let none of this get you down; those who abuse you are destined for a "special" reward, sooner or later. You feel particularly warm toward periods, commas, exclamation points, and question marks, and usually wish to have them next to you. Parenthesis can sometimes trouble you.


Based on anonymous' logic, I'm old?

that made feel oddly good about myself, normally doesn't happen I think I need a more positive out look on life, if an online quiz is boosting my ego, and didn't really say anything positive.

How is it that with a score of 38% on Sociability, I scored higher than 99% of people my age and gender? Is everyone my age supposed to be really antisocial, or something?

You scored 46% Sociability and 58% Sophistication!

You are comfortable around others. While you don't have to go out every night, yet you take pride in being easy to get along with. This should not, however, be misconstrued as believing (as many do) that you are without subtlety. In fact, you have the power to inform the anal retentive that, indeed, they are discussing an anal-retentive issue. Who else can do that? Quotation marks intimidate you a little bit.

It doesn't bother you when people make anatomical jokes about you, because you're laughing right along with them. True, you cannot be called gregarious, but within your domain you're secure for a very simple reason: you know that nothing can ever replace you. You have a quiet confidence, and a love of simplicity. You should be a bit leery around the dash.
