Jackson liked to do assessment quizzes on the internet. One health quiz suggested he would live to 95. His risk of heart disease or cancer was low due to his healthy diet and frequent exercising. An IQ test revealed he was above average in intelligence. He tested his financial literacy and was deemed to be an excellent manager of his finances.
Today, he was doing a new test. It consisted of fifty questions and he carefully considered each one before choosing his answer. Finally, he pressed submit. HIs eyebrows shot up at the result: he was a full-blown psychopath.

I don't think he'll be so keen to do quizzes any more 😉 A fun story! 22/4/2022 12:42:43 pm
A story for our times. Why do we tend to look outside ourselves for the answers? Well done, Jennifer.

Hilarious, but sad in a way. Poor Jackson, and many like him, need to constantly assess their worth. Well written, Jennifer.

Thank you all for your comments. I have a bit of a morbid fascination with psychopaths because sometimes they seem perfectly normal. They say many CEOs are psychopaths. Krystyna, it is sad that people need online quizzes to assess their worth.

Always view an online quiz tongue in cheek. Results can be frightening, especially if you're Jackson. Comments are closed.
