Marital scale as internet quiz

[kate_nepveu]

telophase rocks and has coded that 1930s marital rating scale as an internet quiz:

23 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure) Take the test!

In contrast:

79 As a 1930s husband, I am Very Superior Take the test!

-29.

NEGATIVE TWENTY-NINE.

-39 for me!

[kate_nepveu]

Max is -102 for wives, either -90 or -94 for husbands (I can't seem to get the original test and the Internet version to match up, and I don't know why).

Good to know I have something to strive for. :)

The -39 for me was as a wife, by the way. As a husband, I'm only a -2. I guess drinking, swearing, and telling risque stories isn't judged as harshly for a husband as for a wife.

Oh yes. Also wives gambling get -5, while *addicted* husbands get -1.

I got 17 as husband and 16 as wife; it's a good thing I'm not married.

Now I'll *never* get a sugar daddy...

I swear I did not try for this on purpose.

(As a 1930s husband, I am merely average.)

Well, I scored with hypotheticals... (WOULD I put my kids to bed myself, sure) because as a single person, many of those don't make any sense otherwise...

andyway, 21 wife and 50 husband... that's actually kind of sad.

But at least I don't wear red nailpolish!

*HOWL*

I got a 2.

[leighdb.livejournal.com]

WOW. I got a 7 as a wife and 111 as a husband.

That's... a pretty large gap, there.

*is bemused*

Okay, so would somebody explain what was/is the evil inherent in red nail polish?

I'm a 26 wife and a 59 (average)husband. I taught you well.
