Just for fun, rate yourself on these 20 things on a scale of 1 to 5. They are random enough, that if you answer > 8 on all of them, we'll know you're full of crap. If you've never done something, estimate how good you'd be able to do it without any help.

1 = really bad
2 = poor
3 = average
4 = good
5 = really good

Rate yourself on...

1) Your ability to fix your parents' computer.
2) Your ability to mow the loan.
3) Your ability to use hand tools to fix things that break.
4) Your ability to fix your own car.
5) Your ability to run 3 miles.
6) Your ability to eat a whole large pizza by yourself.
7) Your ability to operate a flying object (airplane, helicopter, model helicopter, etc.)
8) Your ability to debate politics.
9) Your ability to play a good hand of blackjack
10) Your ability to be your own lawyer.
11) Your ability to pick up women.
12) Your ability to pick up men.
13) Your ability to post on AnandTech without being flamed.
14) Your ability to gain 10% on your investments/savings each year.
15) Your ability to remain de-stressed.
16) Your ability to paint a picture.
17) Your ability to bench press 100 pounds.
18) Your ability to be socially progressive.
19) Your ability to bake whole wheat, dairy free, dark chocolate brownies.

Oh good...we get to help another kiddie with a homework assignment...:rolleyes:

1 = really bad
2 = poor
3 = average
4 = good
5 = really good

Rate yourself on...

1) Your ability to fix your parents' computer. 0 Parents are dead

2) Your ability to mow the loan. 3.5 I mow my own lawn, but physical handicaps make it difficult.

3) Your ability to use hand tools to fix things that break. 4. I'm relatively handy...if it doesn't include carpentry. :p

4) Your ability to fix your own car. 4.5 Moderately good, but the newer cars have too many computer diagnostics for the average person to fix without access to the proper diagnostic tools. But I can do most repairs myself.

5) Your ability to run 3 miles. 0. I doubt I could run 100 yards anymore.

6) Your ability to eat a whole large pizza by yourself. 4 Depends on the pizza...but I'm willing to give it a shot.

7) Your ability to operate a flying object (airplane, helicopter, model helicopter, etc.) I took flying lessons as a youth in the CAP...never finished. I can fly some model airplanes and crash my POS model helicopter every time I fly it.

8) Your ability to debate politics. 3.5. I'm highly opinionated about politics and am not shy about telling you that you're wrong...and explaining why you're wrong.

9) Your ability to play a good hand of blackjack. Meh...I've played in the casinos...but always have to go back to work, never a big winner.

10) Your ability to be your own lawyer. 2.5 I'm versed in some aspects of the law...but we have a family lawyer.

11) Your ability to pick up women. 0. I used to be pretty good at this...but I've been married for 350 years...so I don't know how I'd do anymore.

12) Your ability to pick up men. 0 I don't pick up hitchhikers.

13) Your ability to post on AnandTech without being flamed. 3.5

14) Your ability to gain 10% on your investments/savings each year. -6

15) Your ability to remain de-stressed. 5 Stress can't get you if you just don't fucking care.

16) Your ability to paint a picture. Literally? -9,999 I have less than zero artistic skills.

17) Your ability to bench press 100 pounds.5+ Bench press 100 lbs? Fuck...I think my cat can do better than that.

18) Your ability to be socially progressive. 4. I don't like people, but I can mingle and chat with anyone in limited numbers. I can get up in front of a crowd, class, or conference and speak with no problems.

19) Your ability to bake whole wheat, dairy free, dark chocolate brownies.??Who the fuck wants whole-wheat brownies? Gimme the real thing. (besides, I married a baker.)

20) Your ability to read this post and reply seriously. :eek:You mean this is a SERIOUS thread?
