Thanks (or no thanks) to Paul at Byzigenous Buddhapalian for the link to the quiz. Paul tests out at College (undergraduate level) for his blog, and he uses Latin and big words. I don't get it. The test can't be accurate.
Honestly, it's embarrassing, but I put it up for laughs. That's what the quizzes are about - giving us a few laughs.
Paul, you could have picked out a name for your blog that was easier to spell. Just sayin'.
Yes, Mimi, I could have, and maybe I should have, but Byzigenous Buddhapalian does such a euphonious job of capturing my spiritual roots. And it was more positive, though less appealing, than "Baptist Boy Goes Bad." If you put those two together you have the title and subtitle of my unwritten spiritual autobiography.
ReplyDeleteIt really does make no sense. This sort of thing is usually based on average number of syllable in words, words in sentences, etc. And I mention things like perichoresis and anaphora! Ah well. Perhaps my poetry has small enough words to knock it back down a peg or two.
I think you're brilliant AND loving (no matter what MP alleges).
"High school." Weird.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by last week, and telling me that my oil spill PSA was a good thing.
Mine came out as "high school."
ReplyDeleteThis caused my best friend and personal atheist, neil, no end of amusement.
Paul, exactly. I'd have to look up the two words you mention. You make me blush with your compliments.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the rest of you, but I'm with Neil - getting my share of laughs here. I especially love hanging out with my "high school" friends.
Please do not forget that my sermons are rated 6th grade, and I am proud of that. (Well, they were when there were manuscripts; I preach without notes now.)
ReplyDeletePaul, you should be proud. Accessibility is vital. I'm sure that you're not preaching to a congregation of theologians.
ReplyDeleteI promise that I did use my own URL, and not another's. I just did it again to see of there was a mistake, but it came out the same.
I put MadPriest's URL in, and he came out "High school", too.
Count me with the high schoolers too!
ReplyDelete(From a professional perspective, that's a good thing. From an emotional one, I'm a bit deflated...)
Doxy, don't be deflated. It's nonsense.
ReplyDeleteWhat about "some of those other blogs out there"? I fed the url's of a couple into the engine and it wouldn't play ball with me.
ReplyDeleteLapin, I dunno. Tobias Haller checks out as "genius", too. I know that some of you probably think that I put in his URL. Fr Jake comes out "College(undergrad)", like Paul.
ReplyDeleteI BEAT YOU ALL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI got "Junior High."
And I posted it with pride in the toolbar on the right of my blog, thank you very much.
(oh, and I removed the line of code with the link to payday loans. always some link to a scam in these little quizzes.)
a certain friend of ours in Newcastle got high school level.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he is going to the prom this year?
PJ is too smart for me.
ReplyDeleteShe is at college post-grad.
must be all that poetry. bleh.
I tested out college (grad level) on my blog. I can't tell the difference between them. It's nice to know a genius!
ReplyDeleteDennis, LOL. My friends get younger and younger - in mental age, that is.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't dare post my result permanently on my site, because it is so not true. It's all Paul's fault, but he passes the blame on to others.
Notice that I removed the link to the scam, too.
I almost never blogwhore, but I could not resist posting a link at OCICBW, after I got the results of MP's level.
I cannot figure out what ran up my result. It's a mystery to me.
Jan, you're pretty high up there yourself. Just look at poor Dennis, and he's proud of it.
Since MP usually says it's all Dennis' fault, I suppose my shoulders are broad enough for this one, but: did I tell anyone to replicate this silliness? Invite them? Urge them? Y'all really ought not to model yourselves on anything I do; it only leads to being classed with reprobates.
ReplyDeleteSigh. The burden of being an ensample.
Paul, my best blog-friends are reprobates. Why would I mind?
ReplyDeleteGotta fit in somehow!
What a strange and "silly" world where the simple minded meet the "Einsteins" under this umbrella we call the internet.
ReplyDeleteWyldth1ng, welcome. The internet is a strange and wonderful thing, isn't it? What a motley crew we are.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
I've done this three times, and the first time I got College, undergrad, the second time, High School, and just now, College, post grad. What does THAT mean?
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows you area genius, Mimi.
I mean are a
ReplyDeletewhew!
so much for college, post grad!
High School! I'm with Doxy -- we must be in the Sophisticated Professional Writers Who Work Hard To Be Accessible But Secretly Want The Genius Prize club.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I got genius twice, and I'm not pushing my luck again.
ReplyDeleteJane, I cannot believe all the smart people who come out high school. It's bunkum.
ReplyDeleteDennis mentioned a prom. We getting close to having enough high schoolers to have a prom.
oh I am happy to be among the simple minded.
ReplyDeleteAnd as I get further into this damned dissertation process the more of my mind I seem to lose. What the dissertation doesn't kill the comprehensive orals will grind out of me. By the time that I get the rest of those letters after my name I think I'll be a blithering idiot. I'll try not to drool all over myself at graduation!
So I am delighted to see that I have, for now, not yet fallen below the Jr High level.
Dennis, I have never known anyone who didn't think that the process of getting a doctorate was a dreadful experience. It's like a long-running hazing.
ReplyDeleteYou can come to the prom, even though you're only in junior high. We'll make an exception in your case.
That's your genius, Mimi, or ours, in You-Know-Who.
ReplyDeleteJohnieb, You-Know-Who? Are you referring to God or Someone-Else?
ReplyDeleteWell I was a bit depressed before but now I'm borderline "let's just go and play in traffic"
ReplyDeleteI'm Elementary School level.
It's one thing to be accessible...
Dayouthguy, I guess that gets you the booby prize, no? That's what you get for hanging out with kids.
ReplyDeletePlease don't go play in traffic. We like you anyway.
I'm high school level.
ReplyDeleteSomeone mentioned a prom. Count me in. I've seen all those proms on American TV and in the movies. I've never experienced anything like that before. We just had normal dances - no dress up, very few decorations.
Ann Marie, I've put your name on the list for a prom invitation. This will be the whole deal, with limos, corsages to match the formal dresses, black tie, dining out at an expensive restaurant, the whole works.
