I took their test, it said that there was not one human on Earth that would tolerate me. Nice.

[sijour]

this collection of "subjective impressions" based on prejudices and stereotyping is simply hilarious.

when will they realize that its meaningless to categorize people into study groups without taking into account the infinite factors of cultural, racial, environmental, educational backgrounds?

@ortegad123 what percentages? this 09:36 do add up to 100 percent.

[ortegad123]

how come all these percentages don't add up to 100%?

I wasted my 10 min to know that Bill Clinton is a dog and Hilary is cat.

@hockeyham3

Replying to a 3 month old comment, but it's ok: I forgive myself.

Do you have something better than this BS based on your own research?

[Authilus]

I don't know how she does it, but she somehow manages to finish her sentences ... through her nose. This is simply intolerable; it is unacceptable. I'm sorry, I could not endure the full length of the video.

[hockeyham3]

Wow, ok..this is the biggest pile of BS I've seen in ahile. I wil take your "chart" to the bathroom. Thank you.

@acr08807 I feel like that sometimes. I guess i see what you're saying but I guess i just wrote whatever i felt. Which is what I always do. Didn't think it would be an issue

[sergioruizsocio]

@acr08807 first I want to say that I appreciate that you are being so reasonable, lot of us prefere being right than reasonable. My opinion is based in the idea that everybody ends up thinking whatever is they want to think, indepedent of what kind and amount of evidence there is, if any, and independet of whether they are scientist or not. I haven't read this book and I'm not really qualify for discusing her conclusions, so until i read and analize it, I only got your impressions on the subject
