I would enjoy repairing a doorlatch.

aliarasSo I took the MMPI today. Well, actually, the MMPI-2 And it was at parts funny (Sometimes I feel angry) and at parts wtf (Sometimes I think that people are stealing my thoughts and ideas) and at parts very rage inducing.
The MMPI-2 is a psychological examination. It's something like 560 questions long. The questions are true/false statements, and you're supposed to just answer them with your first response. It screens for a number of things - depression, plain ole crazy, etc. But on to the rage inducement.
62. I have often wished I was a girl (or if you are a girl) I have never been sorry that I was a girl.
I don't think I bubbled anything darker. I'm damn proud to be a woman (not girl!), thankyouverymuch. But why is this question even ON the exam? Question 371 asks something like "I feel I was born into the wrong gender" or whatnot, and so if you absolutely have to ask about GID issues, well, leave it to 371. Why ask about just being a girl? The question is sexist and stupid and arrrgh, what's wrong with me being happy about my femininity.
I think women should have as much sexual freedom as men. (t)
Children should be taught all the facts of sex (t)
The man should be the head of the family (f)
It was developed in the fifties, and it's like the Old White Guys psych eval. Something on the internet said there were questions designed to identify "male invert homosexuals," which wouldn't surprise me, although there were noticeably no questions on whether I felt like banging someone of the same gender. So, the psych now knows that I am a happy, enthusiastic, weird feminist.
On a final silly note, one of the questions stated, "I have strange or peculiar thoughts." My friend looked up and read it aloud, and then said "Wouldn't it be weird if people were deciduous? Our hair would like, turn red and fall out in the winter." We then proceeded to have a discussion about this for like five minutes before concluding with "So that's a yes, then."
