Finally, someone or other has put together a means by which you can evaluate the important question of the day: Is President Bush Psychotic?
Take the test, decide for yourself.

I have to take this opportunity to express a bit of disappointment in one of my fellow SB'ers.
When I encounter a study that seems to confirm my biases, as a skeptic, I try very hard to be even more skeptical than usual, because I would hate to be caught trumpeting a weak or bogus study as evidence…
Ah, semester has started, and with it comes the grind of studying for the big test, where callow highschoolers finally get to see if they can make it in the big leagues.
Here we see them in lecture:
One of the 30 or so in class lectures before the test
Yes, football players go to lectures.

Two weeks ago, after reading the New York Times Article which judged the best high school writers harshly, Chad Orzel came up with an idea that was so good it just had to be tried:
Somebody ought to get a bunch of bloggers together, and give them the writing SAT under timed conditions, and see what…
Those Canadians have got a few prigs running things up there, and they've apparently trying to pass some laws to slap down those darned naughty artist types. There's just one line from the sour old prude that's worth mentioning, the rest is the usual noise.
A well-known evangelical crusader is…
Don't need no steenkin' test. The day that I read Bush as saying that he had looked into an ex-KGB man's eyes and "saw his soul" is the day I decided Dubya was around the bend so far you couldn't see his dust any more.
Great find...I was a bit generous he only got a 31 from me. But why did they say that juvenile deliquency was N/A? He is, after all, still a juvenile developmentally. :-)
update! My wife gave him a 34.
I wonder if traffic (or something else) shut it down - I can't connect at all. Unless it 's my browser, but I never have trouble elsewhere... Any other reader have problems?
Give me a break. No one could ever accuse me of being a fan of our current President, but this test is about as big a piece of bullshit as I have ever seen and has about as much validity as Tarot cards.
You know, this is of a piece with a disturbing tendency I see these days among people who should know better to engage in this sort of thing and who are even willing to engage in pseudoscience to label their political opponents as somehow mentally disturbed.
Orac, I consider the test as a pure exercise in comedy, not a medical diagnosis. I agree that labeling political opponents as mentally ill is not how one carries on a polite discussion.
All in good fun, though.
How many people have taken the test about themselves or people they know or think they know?
I answered from what I have read in orac's blog, which I don't much care for, and he got 13. I had expected worse. I answered for myself and got 10. Not much difference.
I did the test twice and reconsidered my responses, not really remembering the first ones which I didn't note, and got the same results.
