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!

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.
