A bit of humor

Every so often I take an online "quiz".

Your result for The Ultimate TRUE IRISH Test...

Finn MacCool

You scored 91 Common Sense, 92 Irish Facts, and 94 Irish Soul!

I am honored to be in your presence. You know your stuff. You are Irish in your heart. You probably talk like an Irish person after a few pints. You sing the rebel songs. You drink, and probably bleed Guinness. You may have even been interned in British Prisions. You impress (or annoy) all your friends with your vast Irish knowledge. If you are a female, I am in love. If you are a male, we are brothers. We should have a pint.

Take The Ultimate TRUE IRISH Test

That's amusing enough (and no real surprise). What amused me was the secondary stats.

Compared to other takers

    * 48/100 You scored 91% on Common Sense, higher than 48% of your peers.
    * 97/100 You scored 92% on Irish Facts, higher than 97% of your peers.
    * 96/100 You scored 94% on Irish Soul, higher than 96% of your peers.

Facts... no biggy. I may have misremembered the name of a battle, or some such. Soul... Ok so saying Maggie Thatcher was lucky the IRA didn't blow her up probaly fell below calling her names.

No, what amuses me is the 91st percentile in Common Sense puts me smack-dab in the middle of average. Empirical data leads me doubt this result.
